I'm doing a quiz for Boxing Day and I'd love some questions

[mckenzie]

We're going to a friend's house for Boxing day and I said I would do a quiz to stick up on the wall (about 5 questions/photos per sheet, about 6 different sheets).

I've got 24 photos/pictures and questions so far. I'd love some more please to use please, ideally topical for this year of course.

TIA.

ps. sorry, does that all make sense? i'm just back from the pub . I onyl had two glasses of wine

Give us one of the questions you're using as an example - not sure what you're going with.

are you having music? where you have to 'name that tune?'

How many days did it take for the Chilean Miners to be rescued?

Steve Gerrard scored for England against USA during the World Cup. How many minutes into the game did he score?

Who this year said ?I?m just a normal human being, like everyone else. We?re all the same people. We all go to the toilet in the same way??

What did David Cameron reply when asked what his favourite joke was during the election campaign?

We wont be able to do the 'name that tune' as this is for an open house event, so the quiz will just be divided up, about 5/6 questions per sheet and pinned up on walls and doors etc for people to do if and as and when. I'd love some music questions though.
