Every year my O/Hs family have a quiz on Boxing day. Her dad is usually the quiz master, but he has just lost his brother, funeral Monday, and so I thought I would step in and offer to host it.

There are going to be about 20 people there and it is looked forward to, but I am having real trouble in finding decent quiz questions.

Any suggestions or really good web sites?

In a quiz you need to guess before you get the answer, silly.

i used to do the odd quiz at my student bar - i found the key was to aim rounds at groups, knowing who your target audience are / is likely to be. With this in mind, you can aim the rounds (esp music rounds) so that everyone has a crack of the whip, and the english lit student with the gay beard and poncy political outlook doesn't alwasy win.

Oh, and DO adopt a "pub quiz man" persona when reading out / doing the answers, it;s ALL about the theatre of the thing!
