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!

Extraordinary! He is one of the worst players I have ever seen!


Mind you I am biased as he cost me ?700 when he missed from under the cross bar about 3/4 years ago which was physically impossible but No-Kan-Do managed it....:-S

Q= Who is the only person to be born on the Underground?


A= Thelma Ursula Beatrice Eleanor (note her initials) was born in 1924 on a Bakerloo line train at Elephant & Castle.



Q= What are the best places to spot mice running around the tracks of the underground ?


A= Waterloo station (northbound on the Bakerloo line) and any platform at Oxford Circus.

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.

BJL's Delia/Stones question definitely makes the cut.

    • I thought there was only one Dulwich Library and that is on Lordship Lane/ Court Lane. Is there another one? If so since when?
    • Don’t be intimidated. People walking dogs in the heat are either ignorant or cruel. It’s worth thinking they are ignorant.  My favoured tactic is asking if their dog wants water ( yes I carry water). I don’t care if people get offended. If they care about their dog, they’d understand. I’m also quite happy to ask the direct question, ie why are you walking you dog? Do you realise how hot the pavement is and how they will overheat? And so on  
    • Had a very hot walk over there yesterday only to find a notice saying it was closed, so keen to avoid that happening again! (I'm talking about the one up the hill, by Eynella Road.)
    • As a former Pug owner I get really upset and angry when I see owners of brachycephalic breeds (all bull dog breeds, pugs etc) taking them out in hot sun..Those breeds should be walked very early in the morning and at dusk ideally or if they need a pee just pop out for a moment or two..do NOT drag the dog around panting like a fur accessory. I REALLY want to 'have a word' with the owners but when i once did that a couple of years ago (frenchie pup being dragged along panting in the heat kept trying to lie down in obvious distress) its female owner told me to f-off and mind my own buisness so now I avoid the aggro.
