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?"

"Zico, very true. I remember watching a YT video of old men who had fought in the American Civil war who remembered each battle and their mates in aching detail but could not tell you what they had for breakfast that day or what their kids' names were."

[zico]

What worries me more Rios is how we can remember things from years ago but not last week! I can probably name every Cup Final along with score between 1975 and 1989 but could probably name two since and one of those from West Ham!! How can I remember the Accrington Stanley milk advert or Rab C Nesbitt smoking a Hamlet in a dodgy photo booth all these years later!!

I missed the half shirts missing sponsors in the cup final at the time (but I was 11) and only noticed when I saw a replay of the game on sky a year or so ago.

[zico]

Likewise MD. Another clue Liverpool aren't on there because they were listed to only have two in the PL era. Good site it was all sponsors for PL era. Like you though I only remember the ones from days go by. I even remember being confused when Spurs played in an FA Cup Final and half the shirts had Holsten on them and half didn't!
