Daily Quiz anyone?

[easthammer]

"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?"

Only reason I thought I knew (looked it up to confirm) is I studied that period of English history for A level. Wanted to be sure dementia wasn't setting in.

"westside, quite correct apologies. Got Wellington on my mind lately. I subscribed to the Epic History channel on YT and have been listening to an episode each night in bed, have been on the peninsula wars for a bit now."

[charlie paynter]

"5 today. Good questions east, very clever!"

[Westside]

"Wellington was PM in 1812, not for the whole year though No he wasn't. He was PM from 1828 to 1830. And a few weeks in 1834. Prime ministers in 1812 were Spencer Percival and Earl of Liverpool."

[Turpinator]

"Two. Not helped by a new year resolution not to watch or read the news as its full of shite. Instructions to missus are. Tell me when the pubs are reopening, if some politician or sage expert gets there head kicked in, or the riots start"

"riosleftsock 7:24 Fri Feb 5 Somewhere from the deep recesses of my memory the song 77 Sunset Strip re-emerged blinking. The Livingstone part was a total guess as I think I knew he was a Scot. No idea of the connection to cricket. geoffpikey 7:59 Fri Feb 5 I also though it was Spurs related, Mori is the sort of stupid name the Sun would call Mourinio in a headline."

[Far Cough]

"5 today 3 yesterday Thank you, please"

[geoffpikey]

"6 right answers, not always right reason. Thought MORI Sorry was somehow about Tottenham! No idea on cricket things but random guessed explorer.. Was thinking (chuck) key (on drills) for 10."

[riosleftsock]

"Which makes 9, i can't even seem to count today."

[riosleftsock]

"Which makes 9, i can't even seem to count today."

[riosleftsock]

"Syd I got 8 as well, but fucked up as I had no idea what Livingstone had scored."

[Syd Puddefoot]

"A pleasing 8, turbo powered by inspired guesses. Missed out on Boycotting China, tried to Shun Eva Air instead!"

[Mad Dog]

6

[riosleftsock]

"Zico Wellington was PM in 1812, not for the whole year though"

[zico]
