I don't think it's Blur, and I'm guessing it's a pretty famous band (not like Shed Seven or someone), so I'll plump for Pulp.

Not Shed 7, Pulp or Blur

(For info: Blur were formerly know as Seymour)

Those cheerful chappies Radiohead?

The Cardinal has it. Radiohead were initially called 'On a Friday'. They got the name as this was the only day they were able to practice.

Never have I wished the week only had six days in it more...

Right-e-o...

The tiny Polynesian island (pop 9000) of Tuvalu, received a multi-million dollar windfall about 6 years ago.

What for?

Agh, I'm certian I remember this. Was it compensation for the effects of nuclear testing?

Nope. Nothing to do with nuclear testing.

i think i know this one, the country flogged the rights to its .tv web domain?

Well done UP, that's exactly right.

Not sure if the similar tiny island of Niue (.nu) ever got theirs sold, as nu is the french for naked!

Anyway, over to you!

i used to run a pub quiz and this is my favourite Q, not hugely difficult but:

who got married and wrote paradise lost then, when his wife died, wrote paradise regained?

Milton

English Literature has never been one of my fortes.

In fact I wouldn't even call it my twente (apologised if I've pulled that joke before).

The name John Milton pops in my head. Is that right?

EDIT: That'll teach me for typing a load of gobshite instead of just writing Milton!
