Oh dear, I only got 12/20. But I still beat 92% of others.

Obviously the Guardian’s idea of important news and events for 2015 is markedly different to mine.

It’s quite deliberately a trivia quiz, not an importance quiz.

I don’t think it would be wise for me to tackle that one….

There you go…I got 3. Even my guessing was poor!
I even got the Pratchett question wrong. Although I think they are wrong on that….there was a lot of Deathspeak about at the time.

I spent the first 6 months of the year sitting on my arse watching TV and reading trashy news.

So I did the sport one and got 7. On pure guessing. I didn’t know any of that and most of the names were a complete mystery to me.

I’m embarrassed about my score in the news quiz, so I won’t post it. I’ll just go and do the entertainment and politics quizzes.

“What film did men’s right activists fear was using explosions to dupe men “into seeing what is guaranteed to be nothing more than feminist propaganda”?”

Really? I think this might make me laugh for a few days…..
