"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?"

a very weak 3 for me today thank you

7 today… Cheers…

"5 for me then, cheers MD"

"Rios, did you get anything for Friday's?"

"I didnt specify tv, so I'll give you the archers"

"I didnt specify tv, so I'll give you the archers"

"5 I went for Archers as well, so 6 if correct"

Toughie that. A mere 5 and got luck with a guess on the hair! Thought 7 was Ben Hur and had Diana's wedding rather than her funeral alongside 1966! Thanks MD.

Surely the Archers is longer than Coronation street?

"1.

"Based on my most neighbours appearances question 1.
