A bit later than normal... Thursday quiz Winners, resigners, guest dogs and royal losers – take the Thursday quiz Questions on general knowledge and topical trivia, plus a few jokes, every Thursday. How will you fare? Martin Belam Thu 22 May 2025 11.00 BST The Thursday quiz was listening to Hello by The Beloved the other day, in the hope of asking a question such as “how many people mentioned in the song are still alive” and getting the in-joke answer 30-50. But it soon realised it was going to be quibbles all the way down. Leslie Crowther? Died in 1996. Kym Mazelle? Still very much with us. But Zippy? Well, Roy Skelton, who voiced him (and the Daleks) died in 2011. But is Zippy dead? Or was Zippy ever alive? What about the LSO? Presumably some of the people playing in the LSO at the time the single came out in 1990 have subsequently passed. But does that count? Anyway, one thing we can all agree on, that was certainly some words to bulk out this article page so it gets indexed by search engines. On with the quiz … 15 questions, no prizes, have fun! The Thursday quiz, No 211 https://www.theguardian.com/lifeand...uiz-general-knowledge-topical-news-trivia-211 A solid 9 Try and enjoy the quiz if you can take your mind off Wembley... Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads Enjoy
9/15 reasonable if not an exciting score. Should have done better, but then again I suppose we can always say that. Cheers @Blond Bombshell
BBC Weekly quiz: What song won Eurovision? 22 May 2025 This week saw Donald Trump unveil plans for a "Golden Dome" missile defence system over the US, the UK government do a U-turn on its controversial winter fuel payment policy, and comedy fans say goodbye to Cheers actor George Wendt. But how much attention did you pay to what else happened in the world? Quiz collated by Ben Fell. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn846xgyw7eo A couple of crossover questions so a 5 isn't as good as it sounds... Enjoy
