"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?"

Only 2 today.

"You're thinking Balti. At least, Birmingham curry houses claim its theirs. A rival is Baltistan (honest)"

I got (a more than I expected) FOUR

"Got a 7. For vindaloo, I had Birmingham. Hahaha!"

"Shit - I would have done better in today's quiz than on previous days, had I pitched up before the answers..."

9

"Today's Answers Food for Thought 1.

Sorry yes question 1 has a typo Should read CAMRA

6 is sort of odd as the process involves several steps.

"7 I reckon and no idea on 1. Is it Titi Camara, or should it be CAMRA?"

9 I think but one sort of guess. Not the foggiest on number 1.

"Any more scores from yesterday? If not the scores to date are: Geoff Pikey

5 for me today. Keep up the good work EH

"No VAR I am the ref and if a decision goes against or for is down to my own incompetence. You can now lead the crowd in ""You're not fit to referee"""

"Having looked it up, The Piano: A Novel is technically by Jane Campion AND Kate Pullinger (who she??) Q5 should go to VAR. Or EASTHAMMER at best owes Sheffield United £20m."

"A Magnificent 7, thought Julius Caear was too obvious and went for mark Anthony , , anyway thanks EH"

4 for me. Knew Burt Weedon but couldn’t for the life of me remember his name!

"Geoffp Close enough, call it 9 Seems to be a high scoring day."

"Had Louis Berniers. Does that count? If so. 9. If not, 8. And like the biggest idiot I didn't even GUESS Julius Caesar. Some reason I thought: can't be THAT predictable. Shit."

After not troubling the scorers yesterday I’m pleased to declare a smug 9 (NINE)

7 - My Corialanus guess was wrong. I did get the Piano right one but it was a bit ambiguous (can you publish a film?) and Michael Nyman also published the sheet music (I have it).

4 for me.
