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?"

"4 - Aaagh so annoying. Thought 2 was football but put Paliament, No Covid ""deaths"" for 8 and 17th instead of 16th for West Ham. So close! Never heard of any of the music ones. Thanks for these easthammer top stuff, albeit bloody frustrating at times!"

"Big fat zero today. Never heard of Greene or the actor and changed my mind on USA and Canada as I thought it must be Russia and someone else! As for the flag totally forgot Canada and put New Zealand, assumed that was a leaf!"

[Syd Puddefoot]

5. But that includes a point for question 8 for which I make a bold claim as I went for Cyprus and surely two entire Olive branches trump a single leaf?!
