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?"

7 thanks east

[wanstead_hammer]

Managed a 6. Weren’t Charlton called the valiants years ago as well? Rings a bell somewhere.

[easthammer]

Kips Charlton were also Robins although the Addicks is used mostly these days. Apparently Addicks is a derivation from Haddocks due to local fish and chip shop

[kips]

"It must get confusing when Swindon play Bristol City when both sets of fans are calling out ""come on you Robins"" Anyway - marking that as wrong I managed 7/10"

[easthammer]

Kips They are but they are not in League 2 Championship I think That's why I specified the leagues

[The_Phantom]

Seven and a half

[kips]

East I always thought that Bristol City were called the Robins

"Geoff P You may technically correct insomuch that WBA were the Throstles until the 80's when they adopted the ""Baggies"" as their official nickname. A bit like if West Ham changed from Hammers to Irons. So I guess you have to be old like me to know the Throstles, but there is still one on their badge."

[geoffpikey]

"8. Didn't get ""Bantams""/Bradford or (wot to Throstles?) ""The Baggies""/WBA"

[zebthecat]

I am an idiot. Completely misread the question and missed out the football team bit. Big fat zero for me.
