    This is the thread for you to comment, chat and show off (or not) your points for the Shiney's Quiz Mk 2

    I shall not be adding up your points for you so you shall need to keep your own running total. I've posted about half of the questions but shall only give answers gradually. So you can upset the others by saying which ones you have answered correctly. :heehee:

    All answers to be sent by PM. You can have as many goes at it as you like.

    I may give clues after a while - if I can think of any. :)

    You can pat yourself on the back (or kick yourself) as many times as you like.
    Points awarded:-
    5 - if you got the answer without research
    3 - if you got the answer by book research
    1 - if you got the answer through the internet
    I'll trust that you will tell how you got your answers.
    I will award points if you are nearly right and say you can't get any further or if I like the answer you have given.

            16!!!:yikes:....Brainbox!!! Do you have 3 Shredded Wheats for breakfast??

            Have got No.10 right now.. I knew two but struggled with the 3rd one ...but my Aunt knew the answer !!!
            So with Shineys agreement I have adjusted the scoring to 3pts to reflect that help was given .:dbgrtmb:

            Total so far 38 pts.... not a patch on our :star: Harry's score.

            Will need to look out some of the kids old books to research some more answers......oh how I miss my mate Google!!! Sign of the times!!:biggrin:

                  Does reading my Giles paperback count as a book research? It's the only thing I've got here that refers to UK history.. :heehee:

                  If your reading it in print then it's book research and not internet/Google :blue thumb:

                  There aren't that many questions that are Brit specific. :)

                  Okay, I'll give it a go. I'll do the ones that I will try to get from my own memory banks and then I'll know what's left that, even if I do google them, they're only worth one. :)

                  Over I go..
