Not smugly, no not at all, I was too young to really know The Beatles. I did buy Paul McCartney's Wings album, but that was my only love of The Beatles. Of course everyone knows some Beatles music. My Beatle ignorance was reflected my zero score in this week's YP's quiz. A couple of quizzes before, I scored 7/10 in his Famous Women quiz.
Last week I bragged to my Dead in Bed Neighbour when I messaged her, that for the first time I scored 10/10 for The Age newspaper Victorian topical quiz. There are four options in the drop down boxes. The answer to the question about Bright was a plausible guess.
Still with The Age, each week since the quiz' inception I have participated in its weekly opinion poll. There is some kind of prize, valued at around $100 as I remember, but I've never won it.
The poll is not general opinion, because readers of The Age are more educated than the general populace, more socially progressive, wealthier, and have a general care about society. They are less religious, but that's from a fairly low base anyway. They are older and feel the threat of street crime. Mostly there is no question to ask myself when answering, but at times there a 'but?'.
I voted with the majority in every question in these polls, but I wanted to qualify my answer about YouTube being available to kids, because parents or carers can already restrict children to only watching YouTube for Kids. Had that been mentioned, I would have changed my answer.

We each have our specialist subject. Can't be experts in everything ... or in my case, not much at all ... 🙄
ReplyDeleteJayCee, I am not an expert in anything and I admire anyone who is, and of course anyone who isn't.
DeleteThe poll is not legible to me.
ReplyDeleteDid you click on it MC?
DeleteYes. Tried again with more success now.
DeleteI think the question should have been should it be against the law , or should people be required to prove they are over 16. To me it's the privacy issue. Despite what Albo says, it's not the same as alcohol sales etc.
I only read free papers in cafe shop
ReplyDeleteRoentare, not even on your phone?
Delete10/10 on "The Age" quiz makes you officially a clever dick but 0/10 on my Beatles quiz makes you officially a daft wazzock. Take your pick young man.
ReplyDeleteI can't win. I am either a dick or a s*** shovel.
DeleteThese sound like fun. Woot. Woot on 10 out of 10.

Sandra, I was pleased with myself.
DeleteI wonder how you "win" an opinion poll. Maybe if you agree with the people giving the poll.
ReplyDeleteKirk, it is only for participating.
DeleteWhen I was working couple people I took care of was into pop culture. I was totally lost.
ReplyDeleteI would be too, Dora.
DeleteI don't even buy The Age, I did once because so many people on line like it so I thought I'd see why and found out pretty quickly it is far too highbrow for me. With most things I'm as dumb as a piece of toast. I manage 8 or 9 of the puzzles in The Advertiser, occasionally I try the Cryptic crossword and have completed it twice. I mostly do rather badly in quizzes of any sort.
ReplyDeleteRiver, you are anything but dumb. Anyway, it is a Victorian paper, so I can't imagine it would be of much interest to you.
DeleteI read The Age and Guardian only.
ReplyDeleteOn radio and tv, I listen only to the ABC and SBS.
I am much the same Hels, although I do watch forty minutes of commercial tv news, less ads, say 25 minutes.
DeleteI like quizzes but i'm not always good at them but sometimes I am. I like Tom Gleeson's hard Quiz
ReplyDeleteDiane, did you see my sister and a year or two later, her wife on Hard Quiz?
DeleteYou did good with the quiz, Andrew. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteJust read news online, haven't bought a paper for years.
Watch 7 news as it has Tasmanian content being read from Launceston, found the ABC news not so good re local news, just a wee bit..
Margaret, that is disappointing to learn about your ABC TV news. Your ABC Radio Northern Tasmania seems very local, during the week at least.
DeleteWell done, Andrew. It makes you feel good when you 'win' something. I'm hopeless at quizzes.
ReplyDeleteJB, no prize beyond self congratulations. I don't do too badly with our version of one of your tv quiz shows.
