West Ham Online

"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?"

"Tomsdad Bonus on this round if you can identify the only one I have read. To Kill a Mockingbird. Why are you a racist! I guess I must be by today's standards as I have also watched Gone with the Wind. I am also a Nazi because I watched Schindler's list and visited Anne Franks' House in Amsterdam! In fact, I am beyond redemption as I also once went to see Tottenham play and not against West Ham."

"7 . Didn't get 3, 8 or 9. I dropped a clue on 10. Well, if you remember awful Sting lyrics that is.. The Police: Don't Stand So Close To Me. ""It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabakov Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me"" Fucking rubbish. No bonus. I guessed Lord Of The Flies as well, same reasoning."

9 I went for Lord of the Flies as we did that one at school.

3. Bonus on this round if you can identify the only one I have read. To Kill a Mockingbird. Why are you a racist!

"Kips John Major ""returned"" it in 1996. We get it back to Westminster when there is a coronation. Or maybe not; a myth has it that the stone that Edward 1 took from the Scots in 1296 was in fact a fake and that the real stone has never been in Westminster."
