"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?"

Three for me

"All is well, fellow Hammers, brainboxes and good guessers ( I'd put myself down for 1 and 3 tbh). Having a WHOliday from here. The 'other stuff' got too depressing. (And, yes, I should just ""ignore it...""). Bring back some football!!! PS: Would have done dreadfully on the Canary Islands, tbh. Named after DOGS??! That's just silly.... :-)"

"Today's answers How did you do? 1.

first two nailed on but the rest guesses or no idea at all.But given that the worlds greatest ever manager largely signs hispanic mercenaries with the same name an educated guess on that one

"5 or 4 - one educated guess in there. Never been but general geography, military history and something else (probably a hint, so will not say) makes it respectable."

Oh dear...

"Today you can have questions on a holiday destination that I often visit ( My sister is in lockdown there at the moment and it is much stricter than the UK) Questions on The Canary Islands 1.

"Good Afternoon I can by the results that the 50s either passed you by or were much too early for this audience! I'll save the torture of other decades for another day. And we will have something completely different today. The scoreboard as it stands ( Still nothing added by Geoff P in the last four days - hope all is well) Zebthecat

"Tomsdad 7:33 Mon Apr 20 Re: Daily Quiz anyone? Well the good news is he has done the 40s 50s and 60s now, 70s and 80s arent going to be too bad, unless he does a nasty and goes to the 20s and 30s in which nothing much of significance happened at all aside from September 1939 and the first Wembley final in 1923 Cheers EH for all the effort"
