eLanka UK | eLanka | GENERAL KNOWLEDGE TRIVIA

 

As my eLanka readers should already know, your Editor has always been partial to a good phrase, or a quota of meaningful quotes, as the case may be, so let us get down to this quiz, which I hope will enable you to put on your “thinking caps”, because, as the great writer W.Somerset Maughan once quoted “Some people have a disinterested desire for knowledge. It is NOT an ignoble desire”

          Please read the questions, then email us info@eLanka.com.au answers you think, are correct, and check them in the next issue of our Newsletter, which is now being praised by many, around the World. We will also pick a winner and see if we can share some of the Des Kelly Cds with the winner…

If you have any praise to add, please let us know, if not, just remain silent. Thank you.
