You closed it (your own office)? How do you remain employed?

I hope things change for the better!

My employers closed my office permanently. All my former co-workers received layoff notices.
They continue to pay me my salary to fill a temporary vacancy at a neighbouring office.

And thanks, me too.

Post some questions here. :--)

So these were the questions from the quiz last week (only ten of them):

1 With which UK Heavy Metal band did Bruce Dickinson front before he joined Iron Maiden in 1981?
2 Which Portsmouth-born artist painted the sleeve covers for Iron Maiden albums throughout the 80s, as well as the band's mascot?
3 In 1982 Nicko McBrain became Iron Maiden's drummer who'd played on their first albums?
4 In 1980, Iron Maiden became the first band since The Who eight years earlier to perform live on Top of the Pops, playing which song?
5 Martin Birch produced most of Iron Maiden's 1980s albums, but which 1976 album, also produced by Birch, was voted as the greatest album of all time by Kerrang! in 1981?
6 Which Iron Maiden song was included on Now That's What I Call Music 12 in 1988?
7 In August 1988, 107,000 attended which venue for an Iron Maiden festival appearance, the largest ever crowd for that venue?
8 Which single, in spite of a BBC ban, replaced Cliff Richard at number one in the UK singles chart in 1991?
9 Which song from 1982's Number Of The Beast album was their first single to reach the UK's top ten?
10 Which Iron Maiden song was placed at number six in Martin Popoff's book "The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs Of All Time?"

I complained about question no. 5 as it's not about Maiden. I'll be impressed if anyone knows it (although it is guessable).

Two points:
I had that Now album and don't remember Maiden being on it at all.
I could have sworn Bring Your Daughter... was played on Radio One's Sunday Top 40 show, unless I was listening to the independent network chart. I certainly taped it from somewhere.

The only conceivable answer to no. 5 is Rising by Rainbow.

Which is correct. I was stumped.

Point 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_That's_What_I_Call_Music_12_(UK_series) says it was on there.
Point 2. I'll take your word for that. To be fair to the bloke setting the questions, he's no professional and knows nothing about Iron Maiden.

Yip, there's no was I was listening to that on anything other than the BBC's chart show. I don't think the BBC banned it, so I think that question is nonsense.
 
Plenty of google search results refer to a BBC ban, including a page on the BBC website. No reason to doubt your memory though CWBL, maybe it was an apocryphal fact which caught on.
 
Just did the same! Looks like lots of sources took it over. I forgot if the official biography stated anything about it.
