Perhaps that's because I'm a fan.<br />What I have learned is that it's very difficult to pitch a quiz at the right level!<br />By the way, it's 10:39 am in the UK. It must be very early morning where you are?bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-72505134236339069972012-03-22T10:38:11.860+00:002012-03-22T10:38:11.860+00:00BTW, I clicked on the 'captcha' question m...BTW, I clicked on the 'captcha' question mark.

With your comment section like this, it makes it difficult for my rather confused mind. <br />Anyway, number 5 is most assuredly the legend that is, Sir Tom, all round marvellous gentleman. <br />And good grief, please prove I'm not a robot.

Number 1 to me looks like it might be a young T.S. Elliot. Number 4 might be Francis Bacon. And number 6 looks to me like the artist Frida Kahlo dressed as a man. As for the others I really have no idea, although the ones I have answered are really just guesses aswell.<br />Thanks for the brain exercise, bazza, and I look forward to seeing what others might think and the eventual correct answers.<br />Very Best Wishes,<br />David.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115443256449529220noreply@blogger.com
