Russethouse Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 This might be fun to try - its an online quiz with questions that change every day. I have set it up so that it 'should' be a mix of French and UK based questions, but if the level is wrong I can alter it.You have to register the first time, then should be able to go straight in. One feature of the Quiz is that once you have submitted your answers, you get your score and a brief explanation about each question.Please let me have some feedback on this - if you like it, too difficult, too easy [:(] etcThis is the link:http://my.funtrivia.com/tournament/Living-France-Quiz--Just-for-Fun-52151.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tresco Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I got 6, the same as Gay, but she was much quicker than me. I was dithering about Lord Shaftsbury...I found it hard, but I'm rubbish at quizzes. Frankly, I had to guess quite a few [:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Have you heard about the new TV quiz starting next week? I think a certain Mr Smith will like it!! [:D]From BBC website :-NEVER MIND THE FULL STOPSThursday 11 May - Thursday 13 July 2006 10.30pm-11pmJoin Julian Fellowes every Thursday for Never Mind the Full Stops, a new panel show based around the idiosyncrasies of the English language. Each week, Julian puts celebrity guests through their paces with a series of lively word games. Teams must grapple with grammatical challenges, decipher different dialects, display their text messaging expertise and hold their own in a slanging match. The guests for the first show are Janet Street-Porter, Ned Sherrin, David Aaronovitch and Carol Thatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 When I tried to log in I was rejected because my name is a profanity, according to Archant.If anyone in Admin has any idea how angry and disgusted I am about that, they are wrong. I am more angry and disgusted than that.Insulted by a trivia quiz!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Dick, would you have felt insulted if I had been the one to post it on the forum? I ask because I almost was the one who posted it. It's not trivia really, it's general knowledge.Sorry about the software problem though - was that when you tried to log in here, or into the quiz?

Dick Smith Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I am insulted by the idiot anti-profanity software. Again.It is logging on to the trivia that is the problem. But I can live without trivia.However, I realise that this is a matter of forum administration and we should not be discussing it in public.

Tresco Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Dick. It's not Archant though, as far as I'm aware. It's a great big quiz site. Some of the quizzes are very American - I think its a USA based site.Go on Dick. Log in as Mr Smith, or Smiffy [:D]Twinkle is in the lead!

Russethouse Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Tresco is right, the Quiz is not hosted by Archant and although its called 'Trivia' its general knowledge to do with France and the UK (at least if it isn't I have wrong somewhere !)No idea why your log in wasn't accepted - sorryIt really is just a bit of fun, helps the grey cells tick over a littleI do wish you would play Dick, I'd value your opinion (as well as everyone elses of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
