Daily Quiz anyone?
"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 12:30 Tue Aug 15 That's a tad harsh! Should have been praised for trying something different. I only came close once. Arsehole of a teacher asked me to move, several times. I didn't bother with my hearing aid in those days so didn't hear him. He grabbed me, pulled me into the class and asked if I was deaf or something, so I said ""yes"". Think he thought I was taking the piss. My House Master was pushing for the cane until my Tutor told me to apologise - but - wear my aid whilst doing so. The teacher apologised back as he wasn't aware. Cane threat withdrawn and steam was coming out of my House Masters ears for years after! I never even got a detention in 5 years, I was a good boy!! ;-)"
