    BBC Proms - The 2014 Guardian Quiz ("the weird and the wonderful!")

    Ok folks .... It's nearly Proms time so I thought I'd share this quiz on the Guardian celebrating the weird and wonderful aspects of the Proms...


    I scored 9/15...

            Hmm. A rather disappointing 12.

            Number 5 I knew "'cause", as Max Boyce might have it, "I was there", as I was for a fair few others.

            I got 7, 9 and 13 wrong.

              I got 11, but I was only (reasonably) sure of 8 - so the rest were lucky guesses. I haven't checked the exact answers, though - just the adjudication :-).
              It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                !4/15. Not wonderful - just weird: the most "serious" answer was the one I got wrong.

                  I got fewer correct answers than anybody.

                        14/15. But maybe sitting in the RAH cafe between rehearsals is an unfair advantage.

                            This Quiz reminded me of how little I now listen to the Proms!

                            I got 8 ... Ho Hum

                            Perhaps I should read the Daily Mail's coverage in future?

                              I got fewer than the lowest yet quoted.
