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?"

"Yes thanks MD. Wobbled a bit when I saw the golfing picture of mum on the coffin but held it together and managed to get my reading out without blubbing! The Funeral Directors, Celebrant and Golf Club were all superb, and to talk to my late dad's best man was an experience. Turned out two of the golf members worked in the same hangar at Farnborough when mum was working on Concorde but none of them knew until they were friends at the golf club years later. It's a small world!"

"Thanks MD. Got 14, had a bad start and put Leeds first and that threw me off years wise straight off, and totally forgot Blackburn. The irony is if I'd put Man Utd for all I would only have scored one less!!"
