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?"

"Bang opposite the American falls on the Canadian side. We'd just had dinner and went for a night time stroll to see the falls at night, up to the room where there was bubbly I had ordered to get delivered which she didn't spot till I asked the question. Now THAT is how it's done The falls is amazing the sheer power of the water going over is staggering. The falls to date is rhe only painting I've done in oils. I prefer to draw in pastel or pencil"
