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?"

gp 8:22 Haha. Nurse Jackie must ave bin out her nut. FC 8:36 We all to use Chris barbers in Cavell st in our youth. (side of the London. By Stepney way/Sidney st). The street was named after her. And am sure there’s part of the hospital/ward named after her.

"5 for me the second one was easy for me as my mum and sister both had first names Cavell named after Nurse Edith Cavell, she should not have been shot, absolute tragedy that she was"

"Haz wrote Will ""the woman off The Sopranos"" get me half a point, East?!! Depends on which question you are answering:)"

[DiCaniosLefty]

"East, you’re as gracious as ever with my query. My Dad was born in Skopje and there wasn’t much of a hospital then, let alone 40 years earlier! Today, I think only 3."

[geoffpikey]

"Welcome back Easthammer. I think a good 7. Maybe 8, if the answer to q9 is Nurse Ratched. It's not, is it? (I'm kidding of course. Q9 was easy.)"

"Will ""the woman off The Sopranos"" get me half a point, East?!!"

Can I have a point for my answer to Q6 ? A hospital Thanks

[easthammer]

Just checked it out and DiCanios you are correct with the place Skopje although at the time of her birth it was part the Ottoman Empire which contained many groups and she was an Albanian. But as you rightly say Skopje was never part of Albania. The Balkans have always been a source of dispute but not with us happy to allow your answer. It probably explains why her nationality is somewhat confused. Foolishly I assumed an Albanian came from Alabania and I stand corrected.

"Good shot lefty! East, up your game! (Not really. You have been great. ) Irons!"

[DiCaniosLefty]

"Hi east, q6 is actually Skopje North Macedonia. With that I got a 4."

[Far Cough]

"3 here, should have been 5 if I really thought about it"
