For a change of pace I have decided to toss in the occasional movie quiz. If they prove to be popular I might even incorporate a thousand or so into a ‘Movie Quiz’ book one day. There will be 25 questions in each segment and the answers will be listed at the end of the article. Have fun.

Up to my usual low standard!!!
Ha! I am currently writing questions for a local quiz night for the International Lions Club of which I am a member. The questions (I think) are a bit easier and, of course, quiz nights are usually tables of 8, so it should be a bit friendlier. Hope so. Sorry, Cat.
I got an idea. What about a board game?
My daughter and I had the same idea twice, but we soon learned that Sands has a virtual monopoly on board games of all kinds. They also have the money to shut individuals out or to purloin their ideas. We gave up. It was hopeless. Good idea, mate, but one ultimately bound to end in disappointment. They simply do not welcome competition of any kind.
