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?"

"18 with just the song names for me, and that's basically only because I put the film name for every song name bar ""Nobody Does it Better"" by Carly Simon, really couldn't remember others that were different. Got muddled with Pierces films citing Tomorrow is Another Day (doesn't exist) and couldn't remember Quantum of Solace although it is rather forgettable! Thanks MD."

"Also 10 for the ""something extra for the weekend"" shift. Didn't know that Vic Watson came from non league. From Wiki. ""Watson, a centre forward, played 505 times for West Ham between 1920 and 1936. The club paid just £50 for Vic from Wellingborough, bringing him in to provide cover for Syd Puddefoot."" Puts him alongside Devo in the what a bargain fine bit of business stakes."
