"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?"

"Well, thank you. I suppose I as thinking: well, it sailed from Belfast to begin with... so Southampton was a port of call to pick up the passengers!? There's a Titanic museum in Southampton as well I think. Must be the most ""celebrated"" disaster ever! Roll on the the water-ride theme park..."

"GP Dublin, Belfast, Liverpool bonus point for each. Impressed you got the port of departure but technically not a port of call so I make that 9 out a possible 16. Well done"

"7 I think. Don't understand the ""ports of call"" bonus bit. Do you mean which port your ship stopped at for you to find these answers? Sone appears to be the answer already, though? And one is already given? Probably me. Friday and tired."

"Scores from yesterday and yes some of you should be mildly ashamed for knowing those generally awful songs. Although credit to Cliffy appearing in questions about in both 1960s and 1990s don't you think? (maybe not) Genuine question anyone know what has happened to SonofSam completely disappeared since 3rd May from WHO, not just this quiz where he was keen contributor (WHO mailed his answers daily!). Have to wonder in these times when someone just disappears. Hope all is well. Scores on the Doors congrats to breaking the 300 mark to GeoffP. ZebtheCat still on your tail and should become a Tri-centurion after today? GeoffPikey
