Firstly sumptious apologies for creating the confusion.
I genuinely thought that there were two threads going here,
My own considered research now reveals that it was indeed Steve himself who sorry to say confused the issue
My evidence is that on page 9 (the first page)(if like me you have the replies listed as newest first otherwise it
will be on page 1) Steve started this thread with posting number one with the subject now showing there clearly as
"Lightfoot lyrics challenge for GL cognoscenti - give it a try ! "
in that initial posting
which was on August 5 timed at 07:49 AM
steve had introduced his idea for his brilliant quiz under his original subject title
"GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !"
However where he nearly caused an explosion was when later in the day according to his stated reason for editing his posting
"Last edited by geodeticman.5; 08-05-2008 at 06:41 PM. Reason: change thread name garner more interest"
that was unfortunately an incorrect action:-
I have previously found that although when editing a posting you can certainly try to edit the subject line the thread resolutely
retains whatever subject wording/title you originally used . I know because more than once after posting a new thread myself
I have noticed one of my stupid typos in my subject line and tried like Steve to edit it out.I found that the ONLY way to
correct this and then only if nobody has yet replied is to delete your first posting and thus the entire existing thread and start
over. That is what in this case young Steve SHOULD have done.
In fact the first reply by JohninCT on 08-06-2008, 08:57 AM
and one by steve himself at 08-06-2008, 09:19 AM
and ALL subsequent replies
still bear his original subject title
as was also his second batch posted on the next day 08-06-2008, 09:36 PM
Anyway having said sorry I will now address one of the outstanding posers
hmm Q116....more neon....REMAINS UNANSWERED
I did think of Go Go Round but without cheating I think that goes "Oh the neon lights were flashing..."
I cannot think of anything more illuminating so to speak so did Steve get the words wrong??
I am still amazed that there have truly been so many replies 200 plus for 19 questions!!I obviously omitted to read this thread for a long time and frankly when this issue arose I baulked at trying to check every page because as Ron knows you need to be named Job to wait while all the pages load on a dial up.In fact I had quickly looked at the first page using my "wondertoy" Nokia N800 Internet Tablet on WIFI broadband thanks to an open (unsecured) local connection it found . More about that later
SORRY everybody. Carry on guessing.
and talking of the French/Swiss border near Geneva as Steve was
I once had a most enjoyable week's skiing at the futuristic looking

French ski resort of Avoriaz a.k.a. Les Portes de Soliel where the piste map shows that the trails criss cross that border (that link is to the Avoriaz wiki}
click the small picture on that wiki page to get an idea of the awesome architecture of this "car free" resort:-
No not Carefree but no Highways there to be sure!!
see two splendid aerial views/piste maps are at:-

and
http://www.thechaletexperience.com/a...S_pistemap.jpg 1300x 1142 pixels 351883 bytes
both aerial views actually show Lake Leman on whose shores is Geneva
Just looking at those maps brings back so many splendid memories of that vacation
well except that one of the crossing points meant descending what looked like a shear drop dubbed "The Wall of Death"!!
That was my second taste of skiing in France
(Of course I had 4 years of it in Montreal too)
I later went on to L'Espace Killy at Val D'isere/Tignes
