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?"

"8 of your LOVELY points please, east. Including Mr Cat Deeley, to be sure to be sure. Nothing for 4 or 9."

Five...including Kielty ha ha

[ironsofcanada]

"7 as predicted Quite the mix of life experience went into those answers: schooling, parents' music, as well as Wonderful World of Disney, mythology and unhealthy gangster fascination as a kid."

[zebthecat]

6 (a one out three guess isn't much to shout about). You were right geoffpikey. I am sorely disappointed that Father Jack Hackett didn't get the Love Island gig; he would been perfect.

"I can therefore GUARANTEE you will be disappointed, Zeb. Well, I think."

[zebthecat]

No idea on 8 so I have put the Irish character that I would like to have presented it.

[geoffpikey]

Maybe 6 fo' sho' today. But have had a guess at all 10 which is quite rare. (Hangs head in shame that I know question 8)

[DiCaniosLefty]

"2 yesterday east. I think I’ve got 3 today, hopefully jag a couple of guesses"

[Tomsdad]

Sorry only three from yesterday!

[zebthecat]

"Yes, it is ""splendoured"" and like you I haven't the first clue who had a hit with it."

[ironsofcanada]

"7 today I believe. (typo on #3? I would not know either way, though I can hear the song, maybe)"

[ironsofcanada]

"easthammer 7:35 Mon May 4 It was definitely a cover but was 1966 as well. Did not chart it looks like and may not have been a single, so does not fulfil the ""international hit"" requirement. No worries. Learning pointless stuff is half the fun."

[zebthecat]

4. The rest are total guesses.

"Today's Round was written for a quiz on or around 14th Feb. thus the theme ""It makes the world go round"" 1.

[easthammer]

[The_Phantom]

"Three today Gutted about Cher one, I had Nancy Sinatra too"

[geoffpikey]

"You are generous east. Only know because of my daughter and my getting confused over who the song was by. And I only remembered Catesby at all cos of the recent-ish TV drama Gunpowder! It was quite good, that. Dare I say it on WHO? : ""thank you, the BBC""."

[easthammer]

"Geoffp Indeed it was Robert - probably my typo of years back- if not my ignorance - I really should check carefully before posting answers. Regarding question 7 I thought Jessie J was the main artist but having checked although the other two are described as ""guests"", they are given credit in the charts. So a point for any of them and today's score is out of 12 Always willing to learn :)"
