I seem to be from a family who enjoy quizzes. I'm not that good at them myself although I can spot a tune in two bars and I do know what Victoria Beckham's name was before she was Victoria Beckham (it was Posh Spice)
My sister is a member of a pub quiz team and they are quite good I've heard. She goes to the pub every Tuesday, come hale, rain or flood.
But she has been out done in the 'who is the best in the family' stakes as my son-in-law appears on Eggheads this Thursday (BBC2 6pm)
I'm well impressed! (I don't want to spoil it for the viewers, but they don't beat the Eggheads )

Do you like quizzes and if so, what is your specialist subject?

I like the quizzes, although my problem is I always seem to remember the answers at the same time that someone else answers the question, lol

Not so much, but I do play triviant at home. My favorite subjects are geography and sports.

I love a good pub quiz and we used to have an amazing team. My topics are music, movies and random science facts.

Did go to a quiz once where the quiz master got the answers to his own questions wrong - total, epic, fail!

He must have brought the wrong answer sheet!

I'm not too bad at quizzes as long as you get a choice of 3 answers.

I checked the BBCiPlayer but cannot see the broadcast. Is there any way to see missed broadcasts on BBC?

It was in the music round, where they play clips and you have to guess the artists and song title - he had both wrong!

I'll see if I can post the link to Eggheads

FlyingDutchman , You need a VPN then.

Aww that's a shame FD. You aren't missing much though.

Maybe you should take Chocs computer advice, I've no idea what a VPN is. If you know anyone who knows anything about computers, get them to explain it you, then you can tell me

I don't like any games where 'knowledge' of factoids is a determinant. I like pictionary...

For your information as per Wikipedia;



A virtual private network (VPN) is a technology for using the Internet or another intermediate network to connect computers to isolated remote computer networks that would otherwise be inaccessible. A VPN provides security so that traffic sent through the VPN connection stays isolated from other computers on the intermediate network. VPNs can connect individual users to a remote network or connect multiple networks together.

For example, users may use a VPN to connect to their work computer terminal from home and access their email, files, images, etc.

Through VPNs, users are able to access resources on remote networks, such as files, printers, databases, or internal websites. VPN remote users get the impression of being directly connected to the central network via a point-to-point link.

Thanks Sage! I'm pretty useless with technology. I'm struggling to get wifi. DU don't make it easy. I have to buy a router and set it up with a laptop. I only have my new IPad so am stuffed.
Costa Coffee for me to check my bank account, FB and of course DF
