OK, quite an easy one here.
I was just listening to the classic 'Move It' by Cliff Richard & The Shadows. A lot of fuss has been kicked up over this recently, all to do with the year 2008. Can anyone tell me why Sir cliff is a bit miffed? (bonus points for that rhyme anyone?
)

Is it to do with Royalties? I thought i heard something on the news that some legal ruling means that artists lose any royalties after 50 years, guessing this was released 50 years ago...

Very good thehut! Twas easy that one.
Move It was released in 1958, and artists and record labels only receive royalties for 50 years. So in 2008 Cliff and EMI will lose money every time its played, or if its put on a CD. I think song writers get about 125 years of royalties, which is ridiculous but there we go.
Over to you!

Ok, a football question:
Who is the only player to have won two consecutive FA cups with two different teams?

I appear to have set a rather woeful question....
Another clue, In 1978 he appeared for Ipswich, in 1979 Arsenal. In 2005 he was sacked as manager of Oldham. It'll probable Google...

ops:
apologies for breach of protocol but since it's FA cup final day i thought this Q appropriate:
in the history of the FA cup which team has scored the most goals? (807)
nobody ever wins on those things.
