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?"

"Bo Derek was lovely. Great film as well, Dudley Moore after visiting the dentist was hilarious. I didn't know about Kirk Douglas wanting the role in One Flew. One of those sliding doors moments as that was an early role for Jack. Bit like Frank McAvennie signing for a relegated West Ham in 89 rather than Arsenal. If he had gone there Ian Wright may never have been an Arsenal player."

"Ah well spotted. I copied and pasted it from elsewhere and I didn't actually see that bit. Added the years myself, apologies for not noticing that, can understand now why you thought you were going mad! Strange thing is that's a straight copy and paste so there were no first letters anyway. Weird."
Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
"No first letter clues, just the tagline and date. Wondered if not having the date would make it too difficult. Some cracking films indeed. Mark Ruffolo has made some crackers, Shutter Island, Zodiac, Spotlight. Do you know of any other films like Zodiac and Spotlight? Love that sort of slow burner."
