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?"

"Only 7 tonight. I look back on the 82 final as one of my favourites. Far from a classic, but I had the entire Italian pannini sticker team before any others, and thought they were absolute unbeatable beasts with some brilliant players."

"Westside 7:27 Mon Nov 21 Good tactic that, I did the same with Brazil on Mad Dog's quiz! The Dutch should have won it in 78, by far the best team."

"17. But mainly because when I did the quiz for Friday I looked up all the finals. Some I remembered anyway, some of the earlier ones I'd had no idea until then"
