"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?"

"Stet on that, I can't count"

5 for me thanks zico isn't the Liam Brady wrong with one extra letter in the anagram?

Well spotted on the bizarre extra V MD. Lesson learned found 10 elsewhere and made up another 10 but didn't proof read the original 10. Lazy quizmaster so adding two points to everyone's scores. In my defence trying to check anagrams makes my eyes go weird!

Only spent 15 minutes on this so a reasonable 10 scored thanks Zico

"I got 10 officially. However.... Didn't get 12 as there was no t. And thought 8 was dicaprio. But didn't put it as unless I'm going mad there isn't a v in his name, but there's one in the clue and I thought therefore it couldn't be him So.is that still 10 or am or can i claim any of those 2 points"

"A lowly 6, for me. Thanks."
