"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?"

No. Happy clappers didnt get to number one. But it was a much better tune than robson and fucking Jerome. 90s is my favourite era for music. Especially the house scene at the time.

"8. Forgot Charles. And Eddie. * Decent tune that, as well. Baby D I would never have got. * Wish I could forget Robson & Jerome. How the hell did that even happen, grandma? Pair of spanners."

Hi all I thought I had or rather I meant to type etymologist (an appropriate end to a word round) I can only assume I pressed on a spelling correction without checking.the result So the correct answer to the question is insects and gets a point However I feel I should allow a point for the wrong answer of words as anyone getting that answer is clearly reading my mind which in itself is no mean achievement as it both dim and blank in equal measure Definitely a bonus for Far Cough for spotting the error though thanks

"That's a good point Cough. I assumed it was just a typo. Never heard of insect botherers. Susie Dent should be doing this, ha! So, depending on East's verdict, I may only have 7."
