"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?"

Spy who loved me was my intro and is still one of my favourites. As I said I got them wrong way round anyway so no points for q8 or 9

Mad Dog 7:05 Mon Sep 6 Have to say as much as I thought Brosnan would make a good Bond I didn't rate the films. Connery and Moore my faves and for me anyway the Moore films just sneak it as I like the humour. Spy Who Loved Me got me big time as as a nine year old kid..... Obviously all if you get say just Goldfinger or Blofeld in the right question slot it's a half point.
