"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?"

"7 thanks, some of these films completely passed me by"

"28. And I knew 95% of those before reading rhe multiple choice Didn't get tatim o neal or seneca falls. Green and red was chosen for freddy's jumper because those 2 colours don't go together and it is subconsciously unsettling. And ironically I was reading about Jonathan demme last jight as I was watching philadelphia last night. Always thought it interesting that in his films his actors directly addressed the camera (in philadelphia and silence of thr lambs especially) I also recreated the drawing of rose very accurately for the wife as a gift... with my face. (I'm very handy at art). It's also Cameron hands you see in thr film drawing it, not dicaprio"

"Sorry for your loss Zico, but from what you have written it would appear that your mum's passing is a blessed relief. May she Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory. (score 3)"

"Oh that is crap zico. I know how you feel. Just keep on keeping on, that is important thing. If you can't do something you think you should do that is OK too. Good thoughts to you."

"RIP Zico's Mum. Mum's are the most important people in the world, always sad when we lose one."

Mum passed away this evening peacefully and at least she is now no longer suffering from the cruel bully that is dementia. I will still post the quizzes next week as it takes my mind off things for a while but times of posting questions and answers may be a bit all over the place.

Of course Jay kay is allowed

Thanks Mad Dog 13 today as long as Jay Kay is allowed. Superunknown is a great album and the title song is a superb sing along (I can just about get all the notes). Chris Cornell was some singer.
