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?"

"12, Forgot Statto and one year out on I Phone and Top Gun, thought TG was 85! Learn something new every day, I had no idea what I Phone meant, I thought it was Information. Remember that interview well, Barry and Robin were divas, Maurice looked a little embarrassed. Clive was a real fan apparently and I think he just got star struck and tried to be funny, but they weren't playing. I think they were Le Tosseurs to be frank!"
