West Ham Online

"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?"

"I have an early start tomorrow (and late finish) so posting Thursday's questions, up now. As before, lyrics from songs Round 2 - Countries and Nationalities 1. People ask me when will I grow up to understand Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams 2. Everyone around me is a total stranger Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger 3. Buying bread from a man in Brussels, he was 6 feet 4 and full of muscles 4. Got in a little home town jam, so they put a rifle in my hand. Sent me off to a foreign land, to go and kill the yellow man 5. All the school kids so sick of books, they like the punk and the metal band 6. And where there used to be some shops, is where the snipers sometimes hide 7. And as for fortune, and as for fame I never invited them in. Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired 8. It was a theme she had, on a scheme he had, told in a foreign land 9. As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti. I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become. 10. Well he was Thailand based. She was an air force wife. He used to fly weekends. It was the easy life."

Once upon a time there was a lovely little sausage called bal.... Sausage? SAUSAGE???

"4 Thought I remembered the time zone one from before, and I got it wrong again too! Pleasantly surprised to get the Gillingham one right. Had no idea I knew that."

"East, I was pretty sure you have asked a couple on there but it's a fair old thread to look back at and check. I did however check the time zones. The one I was astonished by was Sweden and the islands. You do literally learn something new every day!"

"Didn't do yesterday, but 5 today and I am annoyed and pleased in equal measure. Should have got the time zone as I asked the same question last year. Must have thought we have a shrinking world as I was sure the answer was 10. Pleased I got the West Ham question correct"

"Same here MD. Was all so amateur and unnecessary. Here are today's answers, still by bloody phone. I believe westside is doing tomorrow's quiz and I've managed to sort a football one again for Friday. I'm hoping to be back up and running next week but who knows!! WEDNESDAY - General Knowledge 1.
