"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?"

Will be a good one today. Mainly because a few of those questions were in a quiz I gave to my tutor group this morning.

"About 6. And same thoughts (none!) on 9 or 10. This year is yet another year of mid-table mediocrity, in any language."

8 fairly confidently. No idea the answers to 9 or 10 as I hate F1 now and don't watch much tv.

"Good Morning All Some good scores yesterday, you obviously are better without clues or links! Zico good knowledge on the £1 less than £1m. I'd forgotten that. From memory I think Brian Clough insisted on it - didn't want Francis burdened with £1m tag. Didn't work though! Anyway, I have given you a bonus point. Jaan if you want 4,0,0,1 recorded as scores for the last four rounds then I will do that and add you to the scoreboard. Let me know. Scores on the doors Texas Iron

"zico 8:57 Wed Feb 10 Re: Daily Quiz anyone? Got 5. Put Concorde down and Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips but got guesses Like a Virgin and De Klerk. Do I get half a point for knowing that although Francis was classed as the first million pound player, the actual transfer fee was £9999999! So one quid short of £10 million?"
