West Ham Online

"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 MD...... Occurred to me that I hadn't posted the scores for a while. Mad Dog

Yes starburst. Fucking autocorrect. Almost put Thames ironworks as a question (but decided that was just too much of a gimme)

Just double checking if Q1 is Stardust or meant to be Starburst?

"Yeah good one that MD, you could have asked which team was originally known as Thames Ironworks FC and given me at least a point! ;-)"

Thanks. Was watching some show about a chef going through Myanmar on Saturday (was just on in background) and it occurred to me what it's old name was. Gave me the idea.
