Pub Quiz Questions wanted...

[Rowanofski]

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!

Welcome back TLS!

Are you pulling our legs with the TUBE question?

I'm not sure the other one about rats isn't too subjective?

[Rowanofski]

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?
