I am just back from the Sunday night pub quiz at "The Hammer and Pincers". My team did not win but we got a £10 token for four correct corners on the Bingo-style answer sheet. I only got four of the twenty five questions wrong - one behind the winners, Anyway, I think it's time for all you blogriders out there to attempt another quiz. Here we go:-
⦿
1. On Thursday, a TV presidential debate between Joe Biden and The Orange Monster was held in an American city but which city?
2. What do Americans call the boot of a car?
3. In which village does the famous Welsh blogger John Gray reside with his two Welsh terriers?
4. From which Beatles song was the following lyric taken - "If there's anything that you want/ If there's anything I can do/ Just call on me and I'll send it along with love..." ?
5. What colour shirts do the English football club Chelsea normally play in?
6. What is the Spanish name for a principal bullfighter?

3. Trelawnyd
4. "From Me To You"

7 (c) 1989
8. Aaron
9. Mr Burns
10. German
Ten out of ten! Well done me!
DeleteI answered five correctly (1,2,7,8,10) I said toreador for number 6, but I guess the word "principal" in your question is the differentiator. Given some of the questions, I feel no shame for such a poor score.
ReplyDeleteYou feel no shame? Surprising Kelly - unless of course you are a MAGAist.
Delete5, not bad for me:)
ReplyDeleteYes. Not bad for you but bad for everybody else!
Delete4, pathetic!
ReplyDeleteAnd you were a teacher too!

3. I'm trying to spell it correctly, but I get Trelawy .... and I get stumped.
4. Uh oh ... I dunno.
5. Uh oh ... again!
6. Matador
7. Thank the goddess for multiple choice: 1989.
8. Aaron.
9. I have never seen a single episode so, yeah, again, I dunno.
10. German.
Six of Ten, not so bad, eh?
A Yank who has not see "The Simpsons". That is incredible. VOTE HOMER SIMPSON FOR A BETTER AMERICA! VOTE YELLOW!
DeleteWhen I tell people that it does freak them out.
DeleteI have also never seen Titanic nor have I seen any Tom Cruise film after Risky Business.
You are culturally undernourished Bob!
Delete8 out of 10. That's really good for me!
ReplyDeleteYes that is good Ellen. Well done!
DeleteOnly five for me this time, 2-4-6-8-10, the others eluded me.
ReplyDeleteI put this down to your age Elsie.
Delete7 out of 10, not too bad. Of course I didn't know the colour of the Chelsea team's shirts, and I had not paid attention to the TV debate other than what was said about it on our main news; the city was not mentioned, I think.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got that tricky one at the end - Number 10.
DeleteIt WAS tricky, but I got it! So proud of myself.
DeleteAnd so you should be! Well done!
DeleteSeven out of ten this time.
ReplyDeleteNot bad Dave!
Delete6/10 I am sure I don't have to pronounce John Gray of Wales' village.
ReplyDeleteTree Lawn Id

ReplyDeleteYou must have entered a time warp! That was the last quiz!
DeleteBut how many did I get right?
DeleteNine out of ten. How could you not get your own name? Carlton Snaith - or just plain Carl to your friends.
DeleteA record for me 90% correct. I missed the beatles song, I guess I am too young.
ReplyDeleteI guess that in 1964 you would have been a very small child. In which year were you born David?
DeleteResearch tells me you were born in August 1958 - soon after Madonna. Also in Michigan.
DeleteThere is too much information about me online.
DeleteYour deepest secrets are all there.
DeleteOh dear 5 for me. I guess that puts me in detention. I have never watched The Simpsons or many football games, so that was 2 wrong for starters. Having lived in Germany, I couldn't fail to get no 10 right!
ReplyDeleteYes. Detention for you young lady! See me in my office after school.
DeleteLove that I was one of the questions xxx
ReplyDeleteYou know you have made it in the blogosphere when you become a quiz question!

ReplyDelete2. The trunk
3. Trelawnawyd (arrrgghhh, Welsh spelling)
4. Just guessing "Love Me, Do"
5. Green and white (another huge guess)
6. El toreador or el torero
7. 1989
8. Aron (Ha! That one I knew!)
9. (no idea, never watched it)
10. German
Looks like I got 6 out of 10 and BTW, Elvis' middle name was spelled with one A!
ReplyDeleteNot according to Wikipedia Bruce! Maybe you are Taylorpedia!
DeleteHis parents named him Aron. Many years later he tried to have it changed to Aaron and discovered it was spelled that way on government forms.
DeleteI wonder why his parents were so keen to have that odd spelling in the first place. Perhaps it is simply that they didn't know the biblical spelling of Aaron.
