"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?"

6 for me thanks Zico

"9. Cpuld picture her, but Couldn't remember roxeanne pallet's name for the life of me"

"Westside I did wonder that myself. I do find Brand really funny, but not for the reasons that he would hope!"

8 for me. Squdgygate - Pfft!

"6 thanks. Although calling Russell Brand a comedian (which I got), is a bit of a stretch, so will accept 5."

6 cheers

"Rios, I'd never seen it until about 30 seconds ago, even with a mask her face indeed is a picture. What about giving up your seat for a lady?!"

8 today thanks Zico Sofa gate still cracks me up (her face was priceless)

Death Grips are great too.

mediocre 5 today. I agree with you rios. What was once exciting and innovative has mostly turned into sludge of knobheads boasting over dull beats. The early Public Enemy albums are superb. Hank Shocklee is a genius and Chuck D is THE voice of Hip-Hop. Nothing sounded like this before and it appealed to my teen punk love.

"99.9% of rap and its derivatives is utter shite, made by idiots for idiots who have no concept of art, culture or poetry. But 0.1% really cuts through and it can be an incredible expressive form of art. Sadly most of it is just a verbal version of the new statue of MLK kissing his penis."

Cough - Rapped over the head a few times wasn't he?! Oops sorry!
