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?"

Whoops sorry about that

"Look, I've lived in both countries, for me Christmas is bigger in the UK mainly because of the days off factor, here most firms close down on Christmas Eve and open again after New Years, the US doesn't recognise Boxing day, so your lucky if the give you half a day on Christmas eve and Christmas day and that's your lot unless you want to use up some vacation days. Thanksgiving is your turkey day, you might get a ham on Christmas day and weirdly friends will bring round a casserole dish on Christmas day or what they call hot dish. It's all very weird to me, mind you, that' experience from the upper Midwest, it might be different elsewhere but I doubt by much?"
