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?"

Just got the Lonny Donegan one ;)

"1960!? Blimey. So essentially a quiz for the over 70s to actually remember first hand! That said, 7 of them, I think. A few more may come to me. Can't currently think of the Elvis one! (I am not 70. I'll probably be forgetting by then....)"

[ironsofcanada]

2 The Ricky Valance and Roy Orbison ones. Probably kick myself when I hear the Elvis one and maybe the Everly Brothers but I got nothing now. I know who Cliff Richards is...

[zebthecat]

Not very blummin many today - that's for sure.

[ironsofcanada]

"east no was thinking the Province of British Columbia maybe ( the provincial governments are pretty big employers, depending on how you count it.)"

[easthammer]

ironsof You didn't guess Forestry then?

[easthammer]

Phantom I will put a music round tomorrow but you may regret your request :) Music questions are better with sound so I don't have that many for this medium but I just dug out a 15 points round which is on music. Everyone can blame you!

[ironsofcanada]

"Sorry confirmed - 9. Just on a video chat for mothers day, yesterday, with sisters in both Victoria and Calgary, as it happens."

[ironsofcanada]

Guess I thought of that employer question wrong - was thinking of a company. Bit surprised people did not know two - The beaver and the Queen (and other interesting names for pubs)

[zebthecat]

A whopping two (Ottawa and Forestry).

"Ha! Apparently picked a good day to come back to WHO. But only 9 today. Need to guess on one there. No idea for sure who is the biggest employer in BC. (east, Nice to see so many questions from the West.)"

[geoffpikey]

No questions about Doneil Henry? Pffft! I'll be lucky to get 5.

4 it is then GP. Tribal history good answer. Whales off the coast of California is not so good as they are but in transit to Hawaii

[geoffpikey]

"4 points indeed. Presuming 'tribal history' is OK for totem poles. I'd have 5 if... Put down: Pacific off west coast of USA (California, New M?©xico) for q9 Will that do? * Still south? Sure I've seen TV about humpbacks off California.... * No it WON'T! shouts east."
