"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?"

"Another zero, although I request a half a point for answering Q2 with Alien and not AlienS. Although the way you capitalized the S, in a kind of fuck off everyone who answered Alien kind of way, makes me think my request will fall on deaf ears............................... Nice weekend all."

"I had a quick look and got 5. Bit of a film buff me so was annoyed I didn't get spy who loved me or shawshank, two of my favourite films. Plenty of head slaps though once I saw the answers. I agree though MD I'm fascinated by the differences in people's knowledge, which makes doing quizzes really tough when you are trying to please everyone. The financial quiz the other day I found really tough but there were high scores, so the way I look at it is you learn something new every day!! Thanks guys for helping out this week it's been appreciated."

"Wow I thought people would nail this one, that's why I threw a couple of obscure ones in there to separate the men from the boys.. Weird how people are scoring highly on some obscure stuff like the money markets quiz, but struggling with (in some cases) well known film quotes. I've always been fascinated by people's differing general knowledge"

"1.        I’ve told you before Hans, we don’t have any weapons of mass destruction Team america 2.       Get away from her you BITCH AlienS 3.       Next time someone asks you if you are a god you say YES Ghostbusters 4.       I live to see you eat that contract, but I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I’m going to ram it into your stomach and break your goddammit spine The running man 5.       Aw Mr taggert, you use your tongue prettier than a $20 whore Blazing saddles 6.       That’s where I met Bob.  Bob had bitch tits. Fight club 7.       Ronald Reagan? The actor?  Who's vice president... Jerry Lewis? Back to the future 8.       You’ve got me? Who's got you Superman 9.       I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but if you have the time I’d rather not spend thr rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH! The thing 10.   I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick as They live 11.   So tell me james, do you still sleep with a gun under your pillow? Tomorrow never dies 12.   You want to be a big cop?  Then fuck off down the model village Hot fuzz 13.   Let’s head down into the celler and carve ourselves a witch Evil dead 2 14.   I bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around.

Pulp fiction 16.   All those feathers and he still can’t fly The spy who loved me 17.   I ate a baby Austin powers.  The spy who shagged me (ill accept Austin powers 2) 18.                I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I? don't wanna know Shawshank redemption 19.                No, I don't like you. I think you're a fake cop. The sound of your piss hitting the urinal, it sounds feminine. If you were in the wild, I would attack you, even if you weren't in my food chain. I would go out of my way to attack you. If I were a lion and you were a tuna, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you and then I'd bang your tuna girlfriend. The other guys 20.               what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. Billy maddison"

"Hi all just an update. Thanks to westside and mad dog for standing in. I've managed to make a note of the scores and the spread sheet is is on a USB so that shouldn't be a problem. My PC needs a new power supply and motherboard. I've taken my D link and acronis to the guy this morning and the ""hope"" is he may be able to grab the latest back up image back onto the machine when it all works! Otherwise it's a new windows installation and all the shit that comes with it. You would think that there was an easy way to ""upgrade"" or ""replace"" these days!! So motherboard should get to the shop Monday and we shall see but hoping someone can stand in on Monday? Can't believe how bloody lost I feel without a PC!!!"
