Daily Quiz anyone?

"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?"

Ha ha brilliant. I always had ROTR and Eagle delivered on a Saturday morning. Was devastated when Roy Race left for Walford and even more devastated when the whole team was decimated in a terrorist attack in a fictional town called Basra. Seeing bodies hanging out of a blown up team coach was a bit risque for a kids comic!!

[Mad Dog]

Fun fact As a kid I had a pic I drew of Gary strodder printed in Roy of the Rovers. I got £5 for that

[zico]

"Quite happy with 16. Read ROTR as a kid, and sadly remember Nick Jarvis was Striker I think! Couldn't remember Mason Dixon but remembered Antonio Carver was the boxers real name was it? Guess on Escape To Victory as it was between 4-4 or 5-5 and thankfully guessed right. Thanks MD."
