Of course it is to you, just because you happened to know anyway, but knowing people's birthdays is not general knowledge ( especially if one is not in the world of comedy), which is what I'm trying to point out - wouldn't be allowed on Only Connect if the people were from two totally different worlds.

I didn't know anyway. I just knew the years. A bit weird I knew that. But obscure knowledge helps in quizzes some times.
I got that one as well, oddly because I knew those two were both Aries. Reveals some of the far out magazines I read. 7/10. Didn't know Bren in Dinnerladies had a daughter so learned something new which is always good.
Quiz 274 by Kate Emmett, I got a respectable 7/10.
Good quiz! The first half seemed pretty easy to me, then it fell away a bit, Correct answers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8.
Disappointed with myself for getting the Black Books question wrong!
5 and 1. Couldn't spot the theme though.
Who's gonna get the pussy joke outa the way?
Good quiz. This might be a way to Spice Up the tradition, having a running topic.

Same arse.
4/10 First 4 correct then nothing. Yes themed quizzes are quite fun, still think single subject ones are the cat's whiskers though.
Quiz 274
6/10, which happens to be the first 6 too (!), then nowt, apart from 2/5, which overall I'm quite happy with.
And nice idea of a themed quiz!!
7/10 and 2/5 for me. Great quiz Kate Emmett, good mix of question subjects.
I correctly answered 1-4, 6, 8-9, 12-13. One or two of the ones I got wrong were ones I should have known.

You mean the cat's pyjamas.
Hello folks, I scored 6 out of 10 today on the regular questions, I was grining like a Cheshire Cat at my score🤣
