X-rated

1) What is the name of China's famous walled city? Xian

2) Which Swindon based group consisted of Andy Partridge,
Colin Moulding and Terry Chambers? Guess at XTC. Either they were it or they took it, most probably, not that I'm alleging they in any way took it, but they did, probably, but legally I'm saying nothing, alright.

3) Which X is to photocopy? Xerox if you're very old like I am. Tell that to the youth though and they're like ok boomer, just scan it on the iphone and fax it to me later or something.

4) Which Greek writer, who lived 400 years before Christ was the 1st person ever to write a history of Ancient Greece? Thucidydes, T-Diddy, Mr T, which is odd, cos it's sposed to be X, innit, so maybe I'm wrong, I dunno

5) Which instrument consists of hardwood bars being hit by Mallets? Xylophones. I just had to change my post title so as not to give this away

6) Which gas has the chemical symbol XE? Xenon, and on, and on

7) Poly Styrene (real name Marianne Elliott 1953-2011) was the lead singer with which band? Oh bondage, up yours, and it was X-ray Specs, and that's the second time I've had to change my post title, and the sax player was ace too, there should have been more sax players in punk.

8) Which type of plant can survive drought conditions? Dead ones. So Ex Plants to make them fit the question. Survive, though, so some kind of resurrection vibe to this. The Holy Succulent Of Jerusalem? ZOMBIE BEGONIAS? Or is it yeast? The Devil sends the yeast wirh wrath because he knows the time is short, kind of thing, and the yeast makes the bread rise and it's all OK again. I think that's how it goes anyway.

9) Which X is a 'permanent pleasure dome' according to Kubla Khan and entirely separately provided Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich with their only UK No 1 hit record? FUCK SAKE SAUCY THAT'S THE THIRD POST TITLE and in Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasuredome decree, where Alph, the sacred river, ran through caverns measureless to man down to a sunless sea. Except for Frankie Goes To Hollywood where he chose to erect it instead of decreeing, and the animals were winding Holly Johnson up. Not the Animals cos they were in the House of the Rising Sun at the time, meanwhile Coleridge was on opium or in XTC or something. Was he from Swindon? I've quite forgotten. Famously Coleridge only wrote half of this one down actually cos he had an Amazon delivery or something and it made him forget the second half. Still, always leave them wanting more.

10) Lucy Lawless played which Warrior Princess on TV? Xena

Many thank yous Saucy
