Quiz group – September/October 2025

Tops, Bottoms, Record Labels, Feeling blue, General Knowledge and By the sea were the themes set for the first of our monthly quizzes.

Two jokers were played in the right round and because of those jokers ‘Feeling blue’ came top. However the record labels theme was not Top of the Pops, despite me speaking about well known artists and groups.

Would you have been able to say that the Polydor label managed the Abba songs?

Talking about Top of the Pops, which group performed the first ever song on that programme?

When it came to bottoms, no one could answer one of my questions, which was ‘What has a bottom at the top?’ Can you?

Here’s three more questions for you to think about:

• From which country does Blue Mountain coffee originate?
• What does the V in DVD stand for?
• Which pier in Britain’s second largest?

Two weeks passed and the group members were once again zooming away; this time answering questions on Brains, Bottles, Nuts and Bolts, Stops and Starts, Honey and General Knowledge.

See how you would have fared:

• Which creatures have 5 pairs of eyes, 300 teeth and 32 brains?
• How many standard bottles of champagne in a Salmanazar?
• Who starred in the film ‘ The Nutty Professor’?
• How many horses start the Grand National?
• How many sides does each honeycomb cell have?
• Which African country is bordered by only Cameroon and Gabon?

I wonder how many you got right.

If you like quizzes, then please feel free to join us. Our quizzes for October will be on the 13th and 27th.

You will always be welcome.
