"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?"

I'll give you a bonus point for not doing quizzes on your wife's birthday! ;-)

11 for me thanks M D including getting exactly how much Love Island you have watched. Which matches my own interest

H ha ha. Fucking autocorrect Yes of course its Taika. I'll correct the other post You watch the TV series or just the film. I absolutely love it

11 and it is Taika Waititi What we do in the shadows is superb. Werewolves not Swearwolves.

"They're all good enough for full points. All the things I miss due to my fucked up knee, taekwon-do is the one I miss most."

"Thanks MD, If I get a point for Edson Arantes de Nascimento (quite proud I spelt it that close). Half a point for = Space ship failed! Half a point for = Jason Vorhees Mother Then I will have 10. Quite chuffed I got Taikwondo (my spelling!) and thankfully betted on your Love Island viewing as the same as mine = zero!"

"10 for me, thanks. Though I think, anybody who has watched the same amount of Love Island as you, merits a 20 point bonus."
