Right, I'm off to the #PubQuiz at The Alehouse in #Zurich - in the unlikely event that you're local come along and say hi (starts at 6.30pm). In the meantime here's a very niche Swiss film #QuizQuestion for you to celebrate the fact that it's currently the Zurich Film Festival #ZFF.
To the best of my knowledge, there's only one mainstream film in existence that features execution by molten cheese enema. What's the title of this gloriously over the top piece of Swissploitation cinema?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! The surname Loomis pops up a lot in horror film franchises, including Halloween and Scream. In both those cases the name is an homage to a character in which classic Alfred Hitchcock movie?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Although I'm not great at solving them, I do enjoy a UK style cryptic crossword. According to the Guinness Book of World Records the first entirely cryptic crossword was published in the Saturday Westminster Gazette in 1925, written by Edward Powys Mathers. He's much better known by his pen name - what is it?

Morning all on #CupOfTeaSocial and beyond! Sorry I've been away for a while, lots going on. Will hopefully be restarting the daily #QuizQuestion properly shortly, but in the meantime here's a #scrabble #question for you:
Playing the official UK/US English language version (tiles and board), how much would you score in Scrabble if you started a game with the word “Quiz”?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! There's lots of foods out there with names that don't in anyway describe what they really are - spotted dick, for example, which is a steamed sweet suet pudding made with dried fruit. Spotted dick is just confusing though, not downright false advertising like Albany Beef which is actually... what?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Earlier today I was talking with a friend about BASE jumping - the extreme sport where people jump from bridges, skyscrapers etc. and hope to deploy a parachute quickly enough to avoid hitting the ground with a hell of a thump. As you might guess from the use of uppercase letters, BASE is an acronym. What does it stand for?

An early #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion for you today. Although he didn't invent the Woozle, the fertile imagination of the writer Lewis Carroll spewed up a vast amount of other fantastical creatures in poetry and prose. His works weren't universally appreciated at the time of writing though - can you tell me which of the following publications was reviewed by Vanity Fair as being "not worthy [of] the name of nonsense"?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! The Woozle effect occurs when a source is widely cited for a claim it does not adequately support, giving said claim undeserved credibility. The name comes from a chapter of a very famous children's book first printed in 1926. Which book?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Moving on from Christina Ricci to her co star in Mermaids, Winona Ryder. There are 3 facts about Winona and her family in the poll and one thing I made up - which is it?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Yesterday's question was about the Cliffs of Moher in the west of Ireland. No visit to that part of the world is complete without an informal music session in a pub, where a bunch of people get together to play instruments and sing traditional songs. You'll probably see a fiddle being played, and also one or two less widely known Irish instruments. There are 4 instruments in the #poll below, 3 from Ireland and 1 from somewhere else - which one?
(technical note: a couple of these instruments should be spelt using a fada (a slanted accent above a character similar-looking to the French acute), but as that's a dead giveaway that it's Irish I've missed them out)
-
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! I was researching British pubs earlier today and discovered this excellent list https://www.getthedata.com/open-pubs With a bit of jiggery-pokery you can use this to build a list of all the words used in pub names in the UK. So, here's your question: which colour is referred to most frequently in British pub names?
-
As it's #InternationalTeaDay today here's a repeat of a very early #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion for you to ponder over over your morning #cuppa. The English drink a lot of tea, but when did tea first become widely available in England?

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! Over the years lots of people have played the character Sherlock Holmes on TV and in films. Three of the actors in the #poll have played Sherlock and one hasn't - which one?
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Yesterday's question about Paddington's Aunt Lucy brought to mind marmalade sandwiches. The best marmalade is made of Seville oranges, named after the city of Seville in Spain. Lots of other foods are named after places too, including three of the options in the #poll below. Which one is the odd one out?
-
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?

CW: The answer to the Neil Gaiman question is...
As over 1000 of you knew, the TV show/novel in question is Neverwhere. The TV show came first and was co-created with the excellent Lenny Henry, with the novel expanding the story beyond the boundaries of the 1990s BBC 2 budgetary constraints. "Knowhere" is a location in Marvel comics & cinema, "Erewhon" is a novel by Samuel Butler and "Elsewhere" is a title used for all sorts of works including a novel by William Peter Blatty.
Thanks to everyone who took part! I write a trivia question pretty much every day so if that's your kind of thing then follow either me or the hashtag #QuizQuestion for more. Today's effort is inevitably #StarWarsDay themed and you can find it here: https://cupoftea.social/@puzzletrailpaul/110311408106004179

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! How about another Neil Gaiman question? Neil has written a lot of stuff over the years for many different media. His most recent bit of screenwriting was for The Sandman on Netflix. According to Wikipedia his first foray into screenwriting back in 1996 was a BBC series about "London Below" which was later adapted into a novel. What was it called?
A little footnote to this: you can find Neil on the Fediverse @neilhimself where you'll see that he is supporting the #WGAStrike, and so should you - I don't know about you but I spend a fair amount of time sat on my arse watching telly and believe that those who create it should be properly compensated for their efforts.

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! The Narnia books by C.S. Lewis were a staple of childhood back when & where I grew up and feature a set of siblings from the Pevensie family: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. In the freaky final book (The Last Battle, which borrows much of it's themes from the book of Revelation) the siblings return to Narnia with the exception of Susan, who is described as being "interested in nothing now-a-days except nylons and lipstick and invitations". Lots of people feel this was somewhat harsh on Susan who should be allowed to live her life how she feels fit regardless of what magical lions might think. Among these people is a famous scifi/fantasy author who wrote a short story called "The Problem of Susan" on the topic. Who is the author?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! As I'm sure you are aware, the only vampire #snooker musical in cinema history is "Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire" which starred Alun Armstrong and Phil Daniels (I seem to recall it was actually pretty good though probably pretty difficult to track down). Phil also appeared on a very successful Britpop song back in the 90s - what was it?
