Is BO on holiday working from home again today?   

I seem to remember him saying something about buggering off to Turkey on holiday.  Right now, he's probably enjoying his umpteenth Efes of the day.   Pint

For anyone suffering quiz withdrawal symptoms today, here's one I've pinched from elsewhere:


1. Who was the cover girl and centrefold for the first issue of 'Playboy', in 1953?

2. What, according to Rail Safety and Standards Board literature, is a "platform-train interface interaction"?

3. In 1862, during the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln met an author, greeting her as "the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war". Which author, which book?

4. Who did Georgy Malenkov succeed as his country's leader?

5. Which trade union was founded by Billy 'the Wiz' Meredith in 1907?

6. Which politician has appeared on 'Question Time' the most times?

7. Two brothers from Italy, Aldo and Frank, opened their first restaurant in 1955, the first of nearly 150 in Britain. What
was their surname?

8. What online distinction did the now-defunct computer manufacturer Symbolics achieve in 1985?

9. In March 1980, 'A House Divided' was the third-season finale to which US series?

10. The Straits of Moyle is the shortest distance between where and where?

11. Iggle Piggle, Makka Pakka, Upsy Daisy and the Tombliboos feature in which children's TV series?

12. In 1972, about three quarters of English Congregational churches merged with the Presbyterian Church of England to form what?

13. The Primrose League, which was wound up in 2004, was a group that promoted the cause of which political party?

14. Myrtille is the French name for what type of fruit?

15. "He's So Fine", a 1963 US girl group release by the Chiffons, was later said to have been plagiarised in a No 1 hit by which former Beatle?

16. Only one London Underground line connects with all the others. Which?

17. What was designated as Scotland's first new town on 6 May 1947?

18. "I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody," is a quote from which multi-Oscar-winning film?

19. What are Pontefract Cakes made of?

20. Which is the least densely populated country within the EU?

If anyone cares, I'll put the answers up around 4 o'clock.
