Don’t park yourself in front of the telly after the Christmas lunch when the web offers a host of games for all the family… If you know the fictional company that James Bond often claims to work for is Universal Exports, you may have done too many pub quizzes. But others looking for some questions should go to www.avendano.org/quiz/index.php. It has more than 900 questions in 10 categories, including sport, music and history, all of which can be printed out for quiz masters.
Just like to thank you for your questions that have been used on my impossible pub quiz on John Bowe Saturday Radio Show in Ireland. The show has been going for over 4 years and we have used your questions regularly. Cheers, John

It’s day 200 and week 29 of 2025
It is on average the warmest month in most of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the second month of summer, and the coldest month in much of the Southern Hemisphere, where it is the second month of winter. The second half of the year commences in July. In the Southern Hemisphere, July is the seasonal equivalent of January in the Northern hemisphere.
“Dog days” are considered to begin in early July in the Northern Hemisphere, when the hot sultry weather of summer usually starts. Spring lambs born in late winter or early spring are usually sold before 1 July.
