It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! It's June 8th when I'm writing this which was a big day for cinema back in 1984 when two massive blockbusters were released. One of them was Ghostbusters, what was the other?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! It's Wednesday today which brings to mind the hit Netflix show of the same name. Jenna Ortega plays Wednesday Addams in that, but the same role was played by Christina Ricci in the films from the early 90s. The Addams Family was the second film that Christina appeared in - what was the first? (clue: Winona Ryder played her sister).

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! It's #Tuesday today (at least, it is where I am while I'm writing this, time is weird). In English Tuesday is named for Tiw (AKA Týr), who is a Norse god. What is Tiw the god of?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Following on from yesterday, the Tina Turner song Private Dancer was written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. He also wrote the score for the classic film The Princess Bride which has a scene where a number of characters scale the 'Cliffs of Insanity', featuring the spectacular real life Cliffs of Moher in the establishing shot. In which Irish county can you visit the Cliffs of Moher?
BTW, if you like the #quiz do please give it a boost so more people can discover it - it is #Friday after all!

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Yesterday's question got me wondering about why there are quite so many Red Lion pubs in England. In short, no one is entirely sure, but one possible reason is that the lion is taken from the crest of John of Gaunt. Born in 1340, he was the son of King Edward III and his son was King Henry IV. Every English monarch from Henry IV onwards is a descendant of John (assuming there was no funny business along the way) so historically speaking he's A Big Thing. John wasn't born in England though, he was from Gaunt - in which modern day country can you find the town previously known as Gaunt?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Along with Hugh Laurie, Olivia Wilde was also one of the stars of the TV show House. She doesn't do so much acting now as she's moved on to being in the director's chair. What was the title of her recent film starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles and Chris Pine - it garnered a lot of press attention due to alleged feuds between Wilde and Pugh, and Styles and Pine.

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! As I was out walking by the Greifensee (Griffin Lake) earlier today I thought some kind of mythological creature question would be good. The griffin has the body, tail, and back legs of a lion with the head and wings of an eagle. But which of the options in the #poll describes the Stratford Lyon, a mythical beast which roams the New Forest of southern England?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Volume 3 of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy is currently cooking up a storm at the global box office (and a fine film it is too).

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Time to move on from real things that happened to actual corpses to fantastical things that have happened to fictional ones. The production company Hammer is famous for its horror films the first of which (The Quatermass Xperiment) was released in 1955. But which of these famous undead monsters was the first to appear in a full length Hammer horror film?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Today is #EarthDay but when I tried to think of a related question #EarthSong by Michael Jackson popped into my head so now you've got this instead. British music awards the BRITs have had their fair share of controversial/comedy moments over the years, including Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood presenting one of the most shambolic awards shows in history, Madonna falling downstairs, Adele giving James Corden the finger, Robbie Williams challenging Liam Gallagher to a fight and Danbert Nobacon of Chumbawamba throwing a bucket of iced water over the deputy Prime Minister's head.
This is all nothing though compared to 1996, when a Britpop icon invaded the stage during MJ's performance of Earth Song and wiggled his arse at the TV cameras for a good couple of minutes before being caught. Who was this hero of our times?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time and as it's #PuzzledPint day today here's a #beer question courtesy of my co-quizmaster Mark. Lambic is a type of very dry Belgian beer from Brussels and the Pajottenland and it used to be one of my favourites before I discovered that gluten does very nasty things to my insides. The method used to brew lambic is a bit unusual as you don't add what is normally considered a vital ingredient of beer. What is it?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time and as it's #TransDayOfVisibility I have a question for you celebrating transgender representation in Hollywood. Elliot Page is a top notch actor (check out the Umbrella Academy on Netflix if you have it) and the Wachowski sisters are top notch writer/directors. But has Elliot ever appeared in a film or TV series written by Lana and Lilly?

Time for a #ThrowbackThursday edition of the #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion. We're travelling back to this day in 1992 when "The Silence of the Lambs" won five Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, Nest Actor and Best Actress*.
In the film version of "The Silence of the Lambs" Hannibal Lecter famously boasts about eating a census taker with "some fava beans and a nice Chianti". In the original novel though it isn't Chianti – what sort of wine is it?
#quiz #trivia #OnThisDay #MovieQuiz #MovieTrivia
* Potentially controversial opinion: we all loved it back in the day but looking back on it today it's a hoary old potboiler with a dodgy storyline and completely unbelievable characterisation – Manhunter (1986) is a much better film.

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time once again and I'm in a jazzy mood because today, 29th March 2023, is Piano Day. Why?

Time for a #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion? Why yes, it is! In many parts of the world (the UK being one) today is Mothering Sunday. Unlike the US holiday of Mother's Day (which dates back to the early 20th century), Mothering Sunday has roots in the Christian church of the Middle Ages and in its original form it had nothing to do with your own mother (lovely though I'm sure she is).
Here's the question: to what does the Mother part of Mothering Sunday refer?
Answers in the #poll below, spoiler-filled replies and discussion more than welcome but please stick them behind a CW.

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Today is the feast day of St Piran, the patron saint of #cornwall (well, one of them at least). Like all saints, St Piran had to perform a number of miracles to be granted sainthood. In the #poll below are four miracles attributed to four different saints - which one is St Piran's?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! As I've been at the science museum today here's a science question for you all.
Even if you don't know the name you'll be familiar with the Doppler effect, where the apparent frequency of a sound (its pitch) changes if the source of the sound is moving.
The most commonly used example is the siren on an ambulance - but is the pitch of the siren higher or lower when the ambulance is moving away from you?

It's #cupofteasocial #quizquestion time! Something utterly stupid for you today because why on Earth not?
According to Wikipedia, the volume of the Great Pyramid of Giza is a mind-boggling 2.6 million cubic metres. That's equivalent to roughly how many classic double-decker London Routemaster buses?

#CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time!
Once upon a time there was a very colourful witch. She was a stereotypical witch who lived alone in a #FFFFFF house with a #000000 cat in the middle of a forest called #DEB887. For breakfast she ate #FFEFD5 and #F0FFF0, then she worked all day casting spells with a wave of her wand (a #EEE8AA) and a puff of #F5F5F5. In the evening she relaxed with a glass of her favourite liqueur while nibbling on a #FFEBCD.
What was her favourite liqueur?
