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.


Any Science & Nature or Entertainment questions from anyone?

General:

Q: What is the best chocolate bar

A: Snickers


Sport:

Q: Would Tyson have beaten Ali, if both men were in their prime?

A: No


Entertainment:

Q: Were The Clash better than The Pistols

A: Yes


Science:

Q: What sort of car we will be driving in 100 years time?

A: Flying cars powered by nuclear fusion (with auxillary wind turbines on top)


Geography:

Q: Which place is hotter - Thailand or Egypt

A: Trick question.


Picture Round:

Q: Which one is the "real" batman (show pictures of Keaton, Bale, Clooney, Kilmer)

A: Adam West

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


Jeremy, I like your style - I might have to make a new round with these kind of questions and even tailor a few to my office... Who is the biggest gimp in the company? John. Who is the best employee in the company? Rowanofski.

    • Hi, The seller has already been restricted from making posts on the forum (including in the For Sale board) straight after you initially reported this. They do however still have access to their private messages so that they can contact you. If its clear that they have no intention of resolving then they will be permanently banned.   I would recommend making contact with the company as you will require evidence that the item is stolen if you plan to report this to the police. If so there is useful information on the Citizen's Advice website: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/if-you-think-youve-bought-stolen-goods
    • That's like the cartoon of the person who goes to IKEA for tea lights, comes out laden with stuff and says "Damn, I forgot the tea lights"  😂 
    • Have you tried contacting the company the laptop belongs to? I expect they would be interested.....
    • Last week I bought a Galaxy Chromebook Go on this forum, the seller was not home when I went to pick it up, I texted him and he found an excuse apologized and said he could deliver,  I accepted and later that evening he delivered the item in the original box ... all seemed ok until my son (it was supposed to be a present for him) opened it and tried to log in his google account, to our surprise it stated that the laptop was property of a company and could not be used without authorization. We tried to contact the seller, and he initially provided some excuses, but after his initial responses, he stopped replying to our messages. I informed EDForum but no action has been taken as the seller is still present on the forum... I am very disappointed
