"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?"

"Today's Answers 1.

"The one who said ""I shall return"" made good on his promise."

"I'm pretty confident with 7 of those. But unlike that cսnt Cough, I wouldn't post my answers up."

Mercernary You are right but one was particularly famous for saying it for a number of years. Giving clues I must be in a good mood ;)

"De Gaulle said ""non"" more than once in reference to the UK's membership of the Common Market I know another French General said ""non passaran"" during I think the battle of Verdun?"

"7 I reckon, three guesses."

I would imagine an awful lot of French generals said “non” at some point or other ;O)

"I'm feeling unwell. Can't I just be awarded the title now, la, as I'm getting stupider every round. :-) Good work Easthammer."

"Today's Questions General Knowledge 1.

"Leader-board after 4 Rounds Geof Pikey

"Anything but ornithology again hahaha and point of order re Q2 on the birds ,isnt it A Flock of Seagulls...........Oh I Ran , I ran so far............Wishing I had a photograph of you...? I'll get my coat"

"gph Tomorrow I will put questions from a quiz I wrote about 20 years ago. The round was entitled ""General Knowledge"" but you still may not like it."

Could argue that 1 should have the answer 3 - isn't the non-scoring area of the board a sector of the board...

"Only got 2 today, Rio and Brian Lara"

"1. For 1, which was really a maths qestion maskerading as general knowledge. Can't we have a second competition for out-of-date general knowledge..."

Mercernary I think there is still a lot weeks ahead of us. So no need to quit the marathon just yet. I think people will drop in and out as the mood takes them. There was one who only started today. But up to you.

Zero for the quotes and zero for the sports as I saw the answers before the questions. That’s me retired then...

I got 3. Was only 1 out with Jack Nicklaus and didnt have a clue with Rio. Cheers East

"Thanks East for setting me straight on that , Have to laugh at Eeries answer, very clever never thought of that , 5 , of course it is,nice one thanks"

"I got 2 The only one I was sure of was the darts, obviously 6. FFS. That was sneaky...but I like it!"

Son of Sam FYI No.1 is reserved for the F1 Champion but he does not have to take it. Drivers get to choose their numbers from a list of available numbers. Hamilton chose 44 sometime back and has stuck with it.

"Apologies, 1 + double 1 + 2"

1 + 2 + double 2

"4 out of ten here ,i dont get the answer to the darts question though is it not 1+2+3? and thought the F1 champ drove car no 1 but no worries Im not doubting, thanks east all the same for time put in on this"
