Correct, Trilby. WD

On Aug. 1, 1981, MTV broadcast their first video, "Video Killed the Radio Star," by The Buggles. "You Better Run," by Pat Benatar, was the second video to be played on MTV.

I thought more people would have got the Shania Twain one.

How many shots of vodka did John Bonham have the night he died?  (25/9/1980)

17?

30 plus  at a guess

I thought more people would have got the Shania Twain one.

This was reported in the newspapers about a month or so ago.


How many shots of vodka did John Bonham have the night he died?  (25/9/1980)

I do recall this in the news at the time and I have 40 in my head.

think its more likely the 40 shots went to his liver Nick rather than his head

40 is the correct answer.  WD!

Funny how certain things stick in your memory. I wasn't certain it was 40 but I just seem to remember hearing the radio:

"... after drinking 40 measures of vodka"

what else did he have ?
