Celebrity Big Brother 2009 - Ulrika Jonsson Wins!

Ulrika Jonsson was the shock winner of this year's Celebrity Big Brother! I must admit to watching almost none of it, but I'm glad that Ulrikakaka won - she gets such a bad press and the British public obviously likes her.

And the questions are: -

1. Who composed “The Wedding March” that was presented for the first time today in 1858 at the wedding of Queen Victoria’s daughter? (Extra point for knowing the name of the bride)
   
2. Brazilian footballer Robinho (right), who was born today in 1984, joined Manchester City from which football club in 2008?
   
3. Today in 1924, the first Winter Olympic Games were inaugurated at Chamonix. In which country is Chamonix?

Celebrity Big Brother is Back!!

From the sublime to the ridiculous - the Cuban Revolution to Celebrity Big Brother! That's how a decent quiz works, it is the only time where you will go from talking about a significant world event to a piece of useless trivia within seconds...and you'll enjoy both! (and everything in between!)

I won't watch much of CBB2009, but I'll be interested in the outcome; similarly, I'm not that fussed about the minutiae of the Cuban Revolution, but the outcome is of interest. That's the curse of the quizzer - the surface of any topic is interesting, but too much detail and we can't be bothered with it!

Anyway, on to the trivia: -

1. Who unsuccessfully tested a flying machine today in 1496?
2. Who married Jason Allen Alexander today in 2004, the marriage being annulled 2 days later?
3. What became the 49th State of the USA today in 1959?
