Hello everyone. I've been feeling a lot better tonight. Mainly because of this quiz I've done tonight with two people I know, but also because my mind set has improved. I am actually feeling more positive. Hooray! And, seeing as I've done this quiz and it has been lingering in the back of my mind to do a quiz on my blog, and because @LucyMGreenfield said I should do it, I'm going to put the quiz on my blog, and see if you lot can answer the questions.
1. Julius Caesar was assassinated on the 'Ides' of which month?
a) March b) Arpil or c) May
2. Which cricketer scored 158 in the Oval Test in 2005 to help win the Ashes for England?
a) Andrew Flintoff b) Andrew Strauss or c) Kevin Peterson
3. Who plays the hopelessly inept TV presenter Alan Partridge on TV?
