5/7, only knew the Janus one...

a couple of WAGS and a couple by going for what seemed like the most logical option...

3/7.
Now I realize just how accurate Noel Coward was with his song "Mad Dogs and Englishmen".

Got the same as BB. I knew 2 (Janus and Auld Lang Syne) but unlike LJ made only 1 successful WAG. I suppose Gob missed the Welsh one :lol:

4/7 - I knew Janus, Rabbit Rabbit, and guessed at the others (was pretty sure on Auld Lang Syne, too).

We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin auld lang syne.


We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.


And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right guid willy waught,
For auld lang syne.
