"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?"

Yep 5. Surprised I got q4 correct. Put 200 as a complete guess. But got q10 wrong. Was convinced it was Australia. Rugby Sevens? Bollocks to that. Like counting doubles tennis as a whole new sport. Rugby's shit. Squash really WOULD be better: they're still livid. As you were.

"Hi all, some good scores on 60s Music well-played Phantom almost a perfect score. I will put together some questions on more recent music at some time to pacify those who weren't too impressed with the choice of the era. Anyway, we have new leader and the scores recorded so far are: GeoffPikey
