"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?"

Ha Ha Syd! Or should I say Mr. Preview! You are right MD and it was a studio project more than a band. GOTG was so annoying as I haven't seen it so could only think of Bradley Cooper and Chris Pratt.

"5 including the link. After guessing the link, in the true tradition of Eric Morcombe I guessed all the right answers but not necessarily to the right questions!"

"Band aid was different versions of the same song. Slight differences in lyrics, music and obviously singers. Bohemian rhapsody was the exact same song"

"4. said 400 for Steve Potts, bugger!"

I'm going to allow it

"7 Don't remember Stephen Banks. Just watched the goals on YouTube and you're right about the howlers, especially the second! I went for Ian Feuer, the only obscure keeper I could remember, Went for Kouyate for 5, but he scored against us at Selhurst Park. I think easthammer deserves a bonus point, that's pretty impressive being at Bobby Moore's debut!"
