Bonjour, buenos dias, gutentag and all that lark.


I'm running a pub quiz as an opening gambit to my work summer party tomorrow. I've put together a good few questions already (have to admit I did steal one or two from Tuesday's Clockhouse quiz!), but am in need of a few extra teasers to throw in. So far, I've roughly divided it to General Knowledge, Sport, Entertainment (Music, Film & TV), Science & Nature, Geography and a picture round.


Any suggestions? Nothing too hard - the average age in my company is early-mid 20s and they're all a bit simple quite frankly!


Cheers!

Extraordinary! He is one of the worst players I have ever seen!


Mind you I am biased as he cost me ?700 when he missed from under the cross bar about 3/4 years ago which was physically impossible but No-Kan-Do managed it....:-S

Q= Who is the only person to be born on the Underground?


A= Thelma Ursula Beatrice Eleanor (note her initials) was born in 1924 on a Bakerloo line train at Elephant & Castle.



Q= What are the best places to spot mice running around the tracks of the underground ?


A= Waterloo station (northbound on the Bakerloo line) and any platform at Oxford Circus.

What's with everyone's obsession with tube questions?! Maybe it's because we don't have one in our leafy suburbs? I thought everyone saw that as a good thing, but we're obviously kidding ourselves!


Anyway, they are all good questions, but I do have one in there already about the tube.


What's the only tube station not to have any of the letters of "mackerel" in it?


The somewhat contentious answer is St. John's Wood. Contentious in case someone wants to get pedantic about the Saint abbreviation.


Will probably also throw this one in there as part of a set of "What comes next?" stolen straight from the Clockhouse Quiz!

Pimlico, Victoria, Green Park, Oxford Circus....... A: Green Park


Final talk of tube questions - the only 2 tubes with all the vowels? A: Mansion House and South Ealing.


Any Science & Nature or Entertainment questions from anyone?

Picture Round:

Q: Which one is the "real" batman (show pictures of Keaton, Bale, Clooney, Kilmer)

A: Adam West

BJL's Delia/Stones question definitely makes the cut.

    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power seven months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.  
    • They also collect near Bond Street station near Oxford Circus. Always same guys.
