Brilliant Bob! Your education clearly worked!
DeleteAs dumbing down goes you have excelled yourself. Thanks for the laugh; genuinely.
ReplyDeleteU
They are probably from the group he attends to slow down the decline.
DeleteMy kind of quiz! There are too many (cretins) in this country who would argue #1.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that even Trump would have got half of these questions right.
DeleteMethinks that you are taking the p..s !
ReplyDeleteThere are however people on TV quiz shows that wouldn't know some of those!
How can someone choose to go on a quiz show when they are clearly as thick as pig doo-doo?
DeleteYes, I got all of those, YP! Even before I looked at the answers! Does that make me elegible for a place in the team - maybe as a reserve?
ReplyDeleteYes it certainly does Carol. You can get the beers in!
DeleteHow do you spell Guinness?
ReplyDeleteAfter five Guinnesses you don't know how to spell it.
Delete1: Joe Biden

Nine out of ten Elsie! Have another look at a map of Africa!
DeleteI thought you meant a separate country which would be an island off the coast and all I could remember is Madagascar.
DeleteAs Frances says you are taking the p*** but it was clever **** taking. Hope the foot is getting better. 10 out of 10 score, please don't make the questions any harder.
ReplyDeleteThank you Thelma. I am delighted but rather surprised that you scored ten out of ten! Well gone young lady!
DeleteSadly enough, I can imagine a few people (some of them in positions of power) who would struggle with these.
ReplyDeleteIn translation, Vladimir Putin would be lucky to score four or five.
Deletehahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteAre you laughing at your score?
Delete100% correct this week. I know all the right answers, if you ask the right questions.
ReplyDeleteAt last your challenging academic achievements have paid off!
DeleteThese I could get.
ReplyDeleteWell done! You can now stride around Lloyd with your head held high!
DeleteVery easy this week. Does the quizmaster stop to say the pies are ready?
ReplyDelete"Very easy"? No need to be so boastful Dave! Perhaps you should eat a big slice of humble pie!
DeleteGiven my abysmal knowledge of geography, I still managed to get one wrong. If anyone is looking for me, I'll be in the corner wearing the dunce hat. This quiz has had quite the opposite effect on me that you were trying for :(
ReplyDeleteI apologise for that Jenny but think positive my dear! You must have got a few right. I suspect that you will have been perfectly fine with the wine one!
Delete100% for me, Neil!
ReplyDeleteOh you clever woman Ellen!
DeleteIf trivia nights had questions like these, I'd form a team in a heart beat.
ReplyDeleteEvery week there would have to be a challenging tie break question - something like: What are Justin Trudeau's two middle names?
DeleteI knew it! I am a genius after all - just had a bit of bad luck with your previous two quizzes. No 4 this week was a tricky one, though!
ReplyDeleteI put that question in specially for you DT! I was trying to ensure that you got at least one right! Did you think the answer was Malmo?
DeleteYP, Malmo was not one of the alternatives given, so I knew it couldn't be that!
