Kings and Queens of the Jungle.

October 25th, 2023 by

As it’s that time of the year when a new series of ITV’s “I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!” starts, I thought it would be a good time to remember all the previous winners. In fairness the idea came from regular reader Carol Wilkie, who also provided many of the clues. It’s a simple format, I give you a clue about the winner and you have to identify him or her. It’s fairly easy if you’re a regular viewer of the programme but there are one to two that had me scratching my head!!

On the sheet are twenty pictures of various hats and headgear which you have to identify, to help in this process I have given the names of the hats in alphabetical order at the bottom. Good luck!!

One Hit Wonders.

July 16th, 2023 by

The idea for this quiz came from reader Richard Longley and like most good ideas are simple in concept. A One Hit Wonder is defined as a group or singer that has only one hit record, in this case one that reached number 1 in the UK charts. I’ve compiled a list from the 1950’s up to the recent years with various blanks of the artist or title, all you have to do is to fill in the blanks.

By the way I am always open to new ideas for paper rounds just send them in via the “CONTACT ME” section.
