If you'd like to get the feel of being a quiz adjudicator, all you have to do here is post 10 questions for which you have properly researched answers, and for other members to answer, then create a post to list your winners. Whoever gets the most correct in the quickest time, and once all questions have been answered, can then have a go themselves t being a QA. There are no prizes for this quiz, just a bit of fun and a chance to gain experience, however, I will offer an INAH dog lead for a draw of all who post in this thread, and to be drawn on Bank Holiday Monday. Plenty of time to ensure you are in it! First to have a go at being a QA will be whoever answers this question correctly in the fastest time... Question: Horses are measured in hands. How many inches are there in a hand?

Well done, Elaine, you will be pleased to know your name is now in an otherwise empty hat, ready for the draw on BH Monday... Perhaps less pleased to know that you are the first member to be able to practice as a QA, so over to you. ;D

OK The answers are 1. the parrot was Captain Flint (belonging to Long John Silver) and his phrase was "Pieces of eight, pieces of eight" 2.The seagull is Keehar from Watership Down, and it came out in 1983 3. the skunk is Flower from Bambi, and urban legend says EVERYONE cries at the scene when his mother is killed 4. Not the soup dragon , but Graculus the Royal Bird of the Land of Nog (am I the only person to remember Noggin the Nog?) 5.Film was Kes, and the book was by Barry Hines 6.This is Roddy from Flushed Away, and Toad the chief baddie was voiced by Ian Mckellern 7.the bird is Harry's Mad - so he belongs to Harry, and the birds full name is Madison 8. The dragon is Idris from Ivor the Engine and he lives in Smoke Hill 9.The film was The Wrong Trousers and the penguin disguised himself with a rubber glove on his head 10. Tne collie is Maisie , named after the detective Maisie Raine played by Pauline Quirk Well done to those who got their answers right, and I think I'm excused quiz duties because I have a mind full of useless trivia
