Daily Quiz anyone?

[easthammer]

"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

"Good Morning people, Scores from yesterday. Anymore? Zebthecat

[Syd Puddefoot]

"Pikey thanks, turns out (unsurprisingly) i was being thick!"

[geoffpikey]

"* sorry, not QFs. 5th round. Winners through to QFs. In theory."

[geoffpikey]

"Syd, but the last team to lose (in the FA Cup) to the holders was Sheffield Weds. 0-1. 4 March 2020, this season's QFs. I didn't get it right, btw. To be honest, had trouble initially remembering who the current holders are. (Man City) It's a tough question. I guess you'd have to be a Man city or Weds fan to know it immediately!"

[Syd Puddefoot]

"Am i being thick? Probably, but I don't get the logic to question 10. I had it as Watford who lost to last years winners (in the final)."

"Here is the answer to the ( late) bonus question. Edward Temme was born ad lived in Plaistow and there is (was) a plaque for him the borough at Baalam Street Baths. There is also a road in E15 that is named after him. Somewhat incidentally he trained my dad, who himself was a Schoolboy Champion Swimmer of West Ham during 1920s"

"Oh, and 6 in the end. Unless you'll accept Ferries for Hovercrafts? (I am nothing if not deliberately vague when required!)"

[geoffpikey]

Is he on blueeyed's list of centre backs we're currently scouting?

[easthammer]

I should have offered a bonus point if you could tell me the West Ham connection with question 7 Have a go now if you want

[easthammer]

"Today's answers Were you first or last? First and Last 1.

[zebthecat]

Not many this time round.

[geoffpikey]

"Q9 intended to be answered before 10 asked, methinks! I'll try 7."

[easthammer]

"First and Last 1.

[zebthecat]

7. I just love that fact that our language has a word for smelling of horse piss (got that one wrong though as I thought it was too silly).

[geoffpikey]

"5. Horse piss is always a good guess. Apparently. Aeolist was a complete guess based on ""fusion"" guitarists who tend to dribble on about the aeloian mode. They are, to a man (and they always ARE men), pompous twats."

[The_Phantom]

Three for me
