Indonesia? 17000

Edit: I’ve just Googled the answer and this is not even close

Is it Russia?

Which country has the most Islands?

Ireland ?

Clew bay famously has 365 islands - one for everyday of the year.

EDIT: just googled it, kinda makes sense if you think about my guess I suppose

Bang on!
probably why it’s a classic and it is to be fair.

The Presidents of the United States of America did a decent cover version that was a B side on the Dune Buggy single also.

I don't buy the paper, a neighbour gives leaves it outside my door the following morning because she knows I like to do the crossword. I throw the rest of the paper away.

Everton had a shirt sponsor that was something similar.

I remembered Hafnia, and that the company sold Danish cooked meats. So I guessed Hafnia was also the Latin name for Copenhagen, and it was.

Is it Russia?

It’s a much smaller country. I had to check the map as I couldn’t believe it

Which group sang: Video Killed The Radio Star?
(no googling!)

The Buggles? Trevor Horne at least.

Anyone can look up anything on the web as we know.
But what’s the point of googling in a pub quiz?
It’s like cheating at golf - totally pointless. You either
know it or you don’t. It’s only a bit of fun at the end of the
day anyway.

I sometimes wonder if some of the people in the quiz we go to take their phone into the bog at the halfway interval. Personally I can't see the point of cheating.
