"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?"

"Far Cough 7:01 Tue Nov 23 Thanks, at least i see it now but way too cryptic for me. I don't do crosswords so dont know all the little clues."

"17 Zico, I sadly did"

"I'm glad I stumbled over these, I'd enjoy them if I did them. Loved that one the other day . Rub out Mary and Mungo’s' friend = ErasURE. Wondered if anyone got that? Glad top see some good scores."

20. Some good ones there. And some I wouldn't have got jn a million years.

22 I’m definitely better at the cryptic stuff than anything requiring memory. Hence 3 for yesterday.

"13 Syd, read Red Rum in reverse"

15. You look at some and think how did I not get that. And some you think yes i see it now but I am not surprised I did not get that. And then there is number 15 which I still don't get even now!
