"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?"

"Today's answers:- 1.All I know is that to me. You look like you're lots of fun Open up your lovin' arms, I want some, want some You spin me right round 2.And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene. He's got a daytime job he's doing alright Sultans of Swing 3.Tender nights before they fly. Send falling stars that seem to cry Your baby doesn't want you any more It's Over 4.Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh. Seeing no one else had come And a bell was ringing in the village square. Band on the Run 5. Just can't get over losing you And so if I seem, broken and blue Walk On Bye 6.Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap Born to Run 7.There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky, And a killer's on the bloodshot streets Bat Out of Hell 8.Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn It's the End of the world as we know it 9.Headlight shining, driving rain on the window frame Little young Lady Stardust hitching a ride... and it's 2-4-6-8 Motorway 10.There's a place I go when I'm alone Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be Dream Catch Me"
