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?"

"Quality band, Thin Lizzy."

[geoffpikey]

Lynott helped the Boomtown Rats get signed. Championed their demo to Ensign Records and used to guest perform with them for fun before that. Off topic.

[wanstead_hammer]

"So zeb, from the mouth of the (ex) wiffey then!"

[zebthecat]

Phil Lynott came from the opposite side of the mouth of the Liffey as the Rats - Howth. My ex (She's Irish) used to see him ocaissionally when he came to visit his Mum.

[geoffpikey]

"If it's any consolation Wanstead, ""Rat Trap"" owes quite a debt to Philip Lynott. Well, to me it sounds like it does."

[geoffpikey]

"EIGHT it was. Couldn't remember 2, despite obvious theme. And 10 I just didn't think of snakes. Boo HISS."
