"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?"

"Answer to the Pop Story It was Christmas away from home in the “Windy City” of 7 (Chicago). A large group of us had rented a place, so it was a 7,5 (Crowded House) Some of the kids 3, 6 and 6, 7 (Boy George and Little Richard) were happily playing 4 (Kiss) chase with a fair headed girl 7 (Blondie) However, some of the adults were fed up, it wasn’t what they normally did at Yuletide, certainly not the 6,3 (Status Quo). For example, they had missed the speech by the 5 (Queen) although they all had hangovers and were not sure if they were 4,2,5 (Dead or Alive) Someone suggested “How about a walk to 3, 4, 4 (The Beach Boys) and girls” Unfortunately, someone else replied 3 (Yes). But I thought it was just 7. (Madness). The weather was bitter, it was a 5,3,5 (Three Dog Night) Of all of 3,4,7 (the Four Seasons) this was of course the coldest. We eventually set off on our 7 (Journey) to eradicate the 6 (Poison) in our blood. In the cold evening our faces changed. Our 7,6 (Altered Images) changed from 4 (Pink) to 6,3 (Simply Red). In the evening sky 3 5 (The Byrds) were difficult to make out but as we got nearer you could make out they were 1,5,2,8 (A flock of Seagulls) Be careful of the 5,7 ( Cliff Richard) said. But I was looking skyward and 4 (Wham) I was 3,3,3 (Wet,Wet,Wet). But don’t worry, I am a 8 (Survivor) and I scrambled ashore. How did you do?"

"Today's Round requires you to complete the story by replacing the numbers (the number is the letters in the answer) with the names of pop groups or artists (mainly around in 1980s) There are 25 to find and as it is the weekend I will post the answers Sunday pm. Good Luck see how you do. It was Christmas away from home in the “Windy City” of 7 A large group of us had rented a place, so it was a 7,5 Some of the kids 3, 6 and 6, 7 were happily playing 4 chase with a fair-headed girl 7 However, some of the adults were fed up, it wasn’t what they normally did at Yuletide, certainly not the 6,3 For example, they had missed the speech by the 5 although they all had hangovers and were not sure if they were 4,2,5 Someone suggested “How about a walk to 3, 5, 4 and girls” Unfortunately, someone replied 3.
