I think this is a great quiz :applaud: but I don't think I have anything to offer :ohdear:

I would have expected you to get at least one!

Is 6 John Lydon?

Is 2 George Best?

3. is 45 by Bill Drummond, the story of Gimpo driving them round the M25 for 25 hours. Or was it 25 times round the M25?

Sorry,

George Best on the right lines though....

CORRECT :applaud:

Driving round the M25 for days as some sort of art stunt.
