View Full Version : Friday Fun Quiz
Didn't know whether to put this in Entertainment or humour, I'm sure the mods will sort it out.
Inspiration from Marcus Tandy on nthell, has led me to try and create a bit of mind humour for Fridays. I will try and post a quiz each Friday. If you manage to get the correct answers, you can give yourself a hearty pat on the back, and if your inclined you might ask Kink for a share of her vast stash of chocolate :eek: :D <sorry Kink :wavey: , but you can't eat it all>
Anyway here we go Quiz 1.
1. Who's recent song contained the lyric "You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely Something beautiful will come your way"
2. How many days and nights is the magician David Blaine trying to spend in his plastic coffin above the Thames ?
3. How many cards are in a standard pack including the jokers ?
4. Where would you find Carisbrooke Castle ?
5. Where is Varosha, and what's special about it ?
6. Whats is Queensway and Kingsway?
7. Name the members of the "Police" ?
8. What does ISDN mean ?
9. Which magazine/comic did "Nemesis the Warlock" appear ?
10. How much did the Rolf Harris painting go for in an auction yesterday ?
Good Luck

How we doing so far then?
Well, that's the 10 for this week. Do you want me to continue this next week ????
Reckon you should ban Google next time, might last longer. Seem to recall that Kingsway/ Queensway question being asked elsewhere. Struggled to remember the answer though.
How about a thread where you get to set the next question if you get it right?
