"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?"

"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....)"

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...

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!

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)
