Here's some questions from this week's work quiz. This one was made up by Fraser and Graeme. It has a Scottish/Canadian flavour.
Basically this boils down to a challenge between Tommy and Nicola. Answers in the comments section please kids. You're both generally as useless as one another, so it should be a tight contest. And no lenient marking for birthday girls.
I've had to add a couple of questions of my own cos mainly they were questions on Canadian Heavy Metal.
Which Scot considered the architect of Canada’s Health system was voted “Greatest ever Canadian” this year?
Which famous Scot wrote the poem “Dangerous Dan McGrew” while living in the Yukon?
John Buchan was named Governor General of Canada in 1935. Name the writers most famous novel.
Which gymnast recorded a perfect 10 at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal?
Before they formed Steely Dan Donald Fagen and Walter Becker had a band called The Bad Rock Group. What famous actor/comedian was their drummer?

Don't know.
Don't know.
Should know but can't think.
Nadia Cominice - that's probably the wrong spelling.
Dan Ackroyd? Guess.
I'm pretty sure I got the gymnastics one right. I doubt the Ackroyd one is right.
Oh well, another Friday, another reminder that my general knowledge is pretty rubbish.
