Peter Alliss did something in 1985?

OOh - I know! I know! Peter Alliss was a big fan of the book Men are from Mars; Women are from Venus.

Nope. I've already given enough clues.

It's quite fun knowing the answer when others don't!

Peter Alliss played in a Major, yes? And he was a lady suffragette? No?

Honorary Degrees from some former Polytechnic/University or whatever is my guess.

Nope - closer than that. Via an intermediary.

They went two's up on Heather?

Nope.

I hope you have at least tried a bit of googling?

clarion · « **Reply #1411 on:** 09 April, 2010, 05:33:01 pm »

No. I can't imagine Alliss & McCartney throws up a lot of links.

Then you need to engage your inquiring mind and think laterally.

Nope. This is a music quiz, so there is some music in it!

Not something to do with that frog chorus/Broad Street thing,is it?

Redlight · « **Reply #1418 on:** 09 April, 2010, 10:49:19 pm »

OK, here we go. Brian Alliss is a golfer. Sean Connery is a big golf addict so chances are they have played together at some point. Sean Connery played James Bond. Paul McCartney wrote the theme to one of the Bond films (Live and let Die) although that starred Roger Moore, who probably also plays golf. And Paul McCartney has a farm in Scotland where there are lots of golf courses. And when Ringo Starr bought his house overlooking Wentworth Golf Club the club was asked if they would let him be a member and said no to which he retorted that he wasn't interested in playing golf. And both Alliss and McCartney have probably been on the Parkinson show at some time. And they both support animal charities.

AM I GETTING ANY CLOSER???

clarion · « **Reply #1419 on:** 10 April, 2010, 07:49:55 am »

Well, I think it's a comprehensive answer

jogler · « **Reply #1420 on:** 10 April, 2010, 09:13:59 am »

Peter Allis was the 6th Beatle who actually wrote all the songs

in between playing & commentating on golf whilst in Scotland writing MacBeth & living on Bacon sandwhiches.

At least you got the right Alliss!

Jaded · « **Reply #1422 on:** 10 April, 2010, 11:13:58 am »

I'll throw in Henry Cotton, if I haven't already.

You may Google...

clarion · « **Reply #1423 on:** 13 April, 2010, 03:26:56 pm »

Gewgle suggests a tenuous Southport connection.

Henry Cotton holds the course record at Hesketh Golf Club
Peter Alliss designed a course in the area
Macca went to Butlins Southport.

Can't manage better than that, I'm afraid.

Jaded · « **Reply #1424 on:** 13 April, 2010, 03:36:48 pm »

designed a course is a phrase that may help you, along with wrote a song.
