Which Beatle was barefooted...and other questions!
On the famous Beatles album cover (you know, the one with them on the zebra crossing outside Abbey Road studios), which Beatle was bare footed??
I'll tell you the answer at the end, but it's just a wee bit like one of the questions in the monthly MYlife quiz. The quiz is online and is free to come along.
We usually have 6 rounds... always a music round. This month, it was a Beat The Intro round, with a mix of golden oldies and some more recent big hits!
We also always have an On This Day round, a Specialist round (this month, it was Art and Literature!), and a General Knowledge round. We throw in a couple of extra rounds, sometimes a picture round, although this month it was an Observation round. We showed a minute clip from a film and asked questions about it (like what colour hat the woman wearing in the background was wearing. It turned out, it was red!).
As the quiz is online, we use Google Meet, which is really easy to use. It's very similar to Zoom or Teams.
If you're worried about that, click here for a guide to Meet. Or pop in on a Monday Drop-in, and we can show you!
If you are not online and you'd like to be but don't have the right kit or even internet access, please speak to Lynsey, as we might be able to help with that, too!
So why do we do it?
Well, there's no prize. Absolutely, hee-haw, so it's not for that!
We don't even worry about the points (although Lynsey does get a wee bit competitive!). It's just a bit of fun.
We have a wee natter at the beginning and a good laugh as we go through the answers.
Occasionally, we even learn something! ( Did you know that Swaziland had changed its name to Eswatini in 2018? Nope, me neither!) Every day's a school day and all that!!
The quiz is a partnership event with MYsocial in Lambeth, London, so we get to meet folk from other places, which is good fun, too!
Why don't you try it... it's the Second Wednesday of every month.
We'd love to see you there!
Oh, and it was Paul McCartney who was barefooted. Bet you thought it would be John!
We look forward to seeing you at the next one!
