Another Sunday means another lockdown quiz via Zoom. For this particular quiz, each team has to prepare five questions. It's a family quiz so there tends to be an hour of chitter chatter before the quiz actually gets going. The whole thing can last up to three hours. As Little Richard might have said: "Good golly Miss Molly!"
With a little assistance from the wife, I have prepared five visual questions for later on. I am still in my dressing gown so for the millionth time the upstairs shower is calling along with the shampoo, shaving foam and soap. Talk about "Groundhog Day". But before I scale those treacherous stairs, here are today's questions. See how you do.
To American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Russian and Ukrainian visitors, I apologise in advance for the obvious British bias:-
A
Who is this and in which Yorkshire city was he born?
B
 Who is the famous British woman on the left? |
| C |
Here are The Seven Dwarfs. Name them.
D
Who is this as a young boy?
E
Who released the album "Joanne" in 2016?
Five out of five. I'm a genius.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean you played a lead [part in "Aladdin"?
DeleteI think I got four out of five? All the names of the seven dwarfs I couldn't get.
ReplyDeleteSurely you got Grumpy Dave? He was modelled on you.
DeleteYou are having a laugh, aren't you? Somewhere between Bradford and Lady Gaga (for whom I harbour a somewhat irrational dislike), you couldn't have asked simpler questions, addressed to the lowest denominator of your readership.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, do you have a crush on Cherie Blair?
That's the thing - and not many Disneyfilms viewers know this - in Grimm's original fairy tale the dwarfs didn't have names. Which is why I know them only in English. Wonder which one you most resemble: Dopey?
Snow White greetings, such a foil for Obama,
U
Dear Snow White - I most resemble Doc - the wise leader of your faithful Dwarfs.
DeleteHMS Ursula was a submarine - one of those craft that hide below the surface and pop up occasionally to sink things.
DeleteHMS Tasker was a waste disposal vessel.
DeleteMiaow Ursula, as a probable candidate for 'lowest denominator' and hopeless at quizzes to boot, thank you for pointing out that those dwarves never had a name in the first place. Got all the others though Y/P.
ReplyDeleteYou sure know how to pay a compliment, Thelma. Thank you.
DeleteU
Well done Thelma! Please put your gold star on the chart. And Ursula! Stop rocking on your chair young lady!
DeleteYou know, I was sure that first photo was you YP.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be so vain as to include a picture of myself in a quiz JayCee!
DeleteI only figured out the last one. As for the dwarves, I played a dwarf in a play once, I was dopey and I like to think I did a bang up job of it. One has to play to ones' strengths:)
ReplyDeleteDopey? In the 1979 stage musical adaptation for Radio City Music Hall, Dopey finally musters up the courage to speak (unlike the original film) at the end when Snow White bids the Dwarfs goodbye. His first words are "Goodbye, Snow White!"
DeleteLily, I played a Munchkin once - I hear you - lol
DeleteThe Munchkin must have been sad that you were just toying with him.
DeleteLily, I also once played one of the dwarves in a school play. I was Bashful and yes, I too was playing to my strength. ; )
DeleteI am surprised that you weren't Snow White Bonnie.
DeleteThe seven dwarves have been told they can now meet outside in groups of six. One of them isn't Happy.
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! Nice one ADDY!
DeleteI got three out of five. I didn't know Cherie Blair (that's who that is, right?) and, surprisingly (to me anyway) I couldn't name all the dwarves. I would have sworn I knew that. I think my memory is slipping!
ReplyDeleteYes it was Cherie Blair. As for the dwarfs, that was easy man! Doc, Happy, Sneezy, Bashful, Grumpy, Sleepy and Steve.
DeleteI got no 1 but do not know where he was born, I know no 2, couldn't be bothered to go through the names of the elves and got D and E.
ReplyDeleteMore please.

Cough-cough...err...that's an insult to elves everywhere Briony! They are dwarfs not elves!
DeleteCouldn't name the dwarves. I guessed Dasher Dancer Comet Cupid Prancer Vixen Donner and Blitzen, but that made 8.
ReplyDeleteI hate to break it to you but I believe you were confusing the dwarfs with Santa's reindeer. It is an easy mistake to make.
DeleteI couldn't get the dwarf names even though I looked them up just a couple of weeks ago for a post ...... Now if you'd include 1970s fashion and hairstyles I might have a chance ....
ReplyDeleteSorry there were no questions about donkeys.
DeleteProbably because it wasn't a proper quiz situation I had no problem with the 7 Dwarfs or the lady B. I would hazard a guess at D. But A and E no idea. Given that this was your LCD version I guess that I get a dunces cap.
ReplyDeleteWe don't like to humiliate the factually challenged these days.
DeleteWell I got D wrong anyway. Oh dear.
DeleteI started to say that I knew only 1 out of the 5 (the seven Disney dwarfs are Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey, Bashful, Happy and Doc). If I had to hazard guesses on the others I would say Boris, don't know, Barack Obama, and Lady Gaga. But I'm truly just guessing.
ReplyDeleteBob, it looks like a baby Boris but he was born in New York. Now if I'd been asked where ABdePJ was born....
DeleteBob and Graham - Let me put you out of your misery
DeleteA) David Hockney - born in the city of Bradford
B) Cherie Blair - wife of Tony Blair
C) Bob got all the dwarfs' names!
D) Lewis Hamilton - the F1 racing driver
E) Bob is clearly a Lady Gaga fan! It is Lady Gaga herself!
Confession, I thought that D was Obama.
ReplyDeleteYou are forgiven as I know you are not an F1 fan.
DeleteZero for five with this guy.
ReplyDeleteAnd you an ex-teacher too!
DeleteI thought the advantage of zoom was the fact that showering becomes unneccessary?
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! Very droll Kylie!
DeleteWell well, I thought the first one was Jimmy Saville and D was Obama. 3/5 for me!
