blonde poker forum

I've never run a quiz on here before, so excuse me in advance if this is chaos, but I thought this was a decent idea for one.

After spending half my time these days being shock how old x, y or z is, the time has come to test people's knowledge.

For every year you are mistaken you will receive one point. One pass is allowed for which you score zero. Lowest score wins.

PM me your answers without looking at wikipedia.

Here we go:


1. Christopher Lloyd.

Was going to include Tikay and Sensei Channing, but can't find a reputable verification of either's age. "45" or "in his early thirties" respectively just won't cut it.

Reveal on Monday 3rd November at 8pm.

Two quizzes on at the same time, you think we've nothing better to do?

In of course

I have never heard of Culkin McWhsatsit or Adele, but I'll take a flyer & enter this. Presumably I can "google image" them to see what they look like now?

Does the winner get an Award?

I'm in for this one!

Well, no, but it will only really help with Gazza anyway. 

In

7. Pleno?

If you look at a picture of Gazza now, you'd guess 74.

Really? Wow.

How old is he, then?

The fun bit of this quiz is (apart from Christopher Lloyd who prompted the idea) I have no idea of the answers either.

So the reveal will be a reveal for the question master too!

74  ;whistle;

Behave.

I was hoping he would walk right in to my beautifully disguised trap.

If i don't come last its a bleeding miracle.

Sigourney Weaver turned 65 the other day.

I'm getting old.

John Cleese is 74.

He's getting older faster than you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Henn

Carrie Henn was the actress who played the young girl Newt in Aliens. She's now 38!

Great thread.

Luke Skywalker is 63! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hamill

Great quiz. In.

Looks like he's morphing into the emperor...

Pretty confident of a good showing in this.  Just gone with my first instinct not tried working them out my remembering them being in x film in x year!  If I score anymore than 24 points I'd be disappointed. 

Forgot to enter this!
Not that I had a dogs chance of doing any good.

As far as I can see, there is still time to enter.

The Reveal is 8pm this evening, but the Quizmaster Bloke Chap never put a deadline time for Entries.

Tell you what, if you do, I will.

Deal?

Still time.

Conclusions so far.

We might finally have found a format Tikay has a chance of winning at.

Mondatoo should stick to 180 man sit and gos.

Is it possible to come to a conclusion before the end of something?

ha, didn't realise I could pass 1.  Would definitely have been question 1 if I realised :(  Best to give everyone a start.

Reckon I have git this sewn up, Betfair have me 1/100 IR.

This is the most work I've done since I had a job ever.

No wonder I've never set a quiz before.

The point of the thread wasn't just to prove you can't believe xxxx is that old ?

Pretty sure you're just guessing these now Keith.

Just realised I forgot to pass one as well. Maybe it's all for the best. ::)

Doesn't it say above that doobs answered 34?

Do some people not realise she's The Queen's daughter or do they think HM sent a telegram to herself years ago?

Wow at all the passes on this one.

Princess Anne is:

I tried very hard to find a video of Anne falling off a horse, but unfortunately to no avail. So you get my second favourite Cyndi track:

It's taboo to touch a member of the royal family?

WTF?

Might we catch some inbred disease from them?

I'm off down the pub for a pint before they close....

Well done Camel, enjoy your pint.

Excellent work Mr Camel sir. Thank you.

Nice quiz Camel

Wiiiii and for the record I never googled them.  I'd step up and set the quiz but I'm off to Vegas on Wednesday and set of on my jaunt to London tomorrow so not much point unless y'all want to wait for the reveal when I come back. 

Hey wait a minute - me and Tikay thought the idea was to get it all to add up to as close your actual age as possible - hence my 55 and Tikay's 45. 

Oh hold on - Kmac still wins


 ;)

Can't believe that Camel didn't have the clip of Gazza elbowing some bloke in the face and breaking his elbow putting him out for a few months.

Great quiz, love Cindi Lauper, genuine peaches and cream complexion.

Thanks for running Keith, wp Kmac

Thanks for running, still amazed at Cyndi Lauper's age!

Thanks for doing this Keith

Happy with 2nd/non-KMacGoogle 1st!

Dustin Hoffman-77!!

Very good quiz, nice to be able to enter a quiz with the, albeit very slight, possibility of winning. Pointless when drawing dead like I am in most of them :)

Cheers for the fun quiz. Got a couple right by obv just blind guessing. Also, quite obv, not a royalist !

Really enjoyed the quiz Keith, thank you.

Been doing blonde quizzes & Comps for 10 years now, & still not managed to win one. Time the handicapper took a bit of weight off imo.

Anyway, by way of a thank you, here's a lovely photo of Her Princess-Ness, this was taken in 1973, & I have it on my bedroom wall. Hot stuff, I think you'll agree.

Were you able to laminate stuff back in those days?

The picture would be a little tired and emotional by now if you couldn't.
