The Bumper Quiz
Well finally, after such a hectic Christmas, I have managed to get a post up, and the answers to the Bumper Quiz will follow shortly, along with all the scores. But first can I say a big thank you to all those who have visited my site this year, and hope that you all had a fantastic Christmas.
I hope you all have a wonderful and prosperous New Year!
Speaking of which, no big quiz this week, but one question for you to tackle.
We all remember celebrating the New Millenium as the clock went past 12 on 31st December 1999, and into January 1st 2000. But why were we technically WRONG to celebrate it then? When should we have celebrated it and why?
Now on with the scores;
Even though she was the only one to give the artists as well as the song titles, and eventually managed to get just about all the christmas songs right, she was let down by a poor first round..and with a score of 35, it's.......MUM!
But ahead on points, and with two stunning rounds with the movies and Quizzicles, but not quite enough again, losing by just a single point AGAIN!!! On 37 it's KIM!!!
So the king of the quiz the Christmas Cracker of cracking quizzes, the movies buff extreme, has once again taken the crown. Yes I give you the authority on James Bond films ......WILL!!!!!!! with 38!!!

Hi Dave,
Well fancy that Ikept my usual position in the quiz!!!
It was Andy who did the songs and artists. He has now got your blog on his favourites so hopefully will join in and do the weekly quiz, he might even knock Will off his pedestal!! Once at least. Give Andy something to do whilst he is convalecing in Jan for a couple of weeks after an op.
Lots of love give the kids a kiss

Cool Beans Dave! Back on top! Whoo Hoo! Thanks for doing this quiz each week, it really challenges me. One of these days I hope to get a perfect score.
As for this week, we celebrated the Millenium one year early. The true first year of the Milenium was 2001, because the first year A.D. (or C.E. if you want to be politically correct) was year 1, not year 0.
SPOT ON as always Will! Now I would like a theme for the next quiz please.
Dang it, walked right into that one. Okay, um...well...um...as we begin a new year let's do a new beginnings quiz. Firsts, originals, beginnings, Maybe you can show a picture from a sequel and we have to tell you the first movie, things like that.
OH NO, they're collaborating. I've got to get my brain in gear.
OK next weeks quiz is going to be about new beginnings and firsts!
Like it Will thanks!
By the way This weeks quiz should be up either today or tomorrow
