Sunday Connect 7 Quiz #1

Sunday Connect 7 Quiz  #1

Another new feature on The Quiz addict this year is going to be a weekly quiz on a Sunday I am going to call Connect 7. I figured that one thing to improve this quiz blog would be more quiz questions, plus with me landing a few quiz question writing jobs as of late, this would help me in improving my question setting.

Rules are simple: Below are 7 quiz questions. Answer them and then work out what connects all 7 answers. Unlike some of the other quizzes I have been doing, I will post the answer in the comment box in a few days time to give people a chance to work this out.

1. It was depicted in Turners 'Rain, Steam and Speed - The Great Western Railway' painting in 1844 and designed by Brunel. What is the name of the Bridge in question?

2. Which author wrote the book Three Men in a Boat?

3. Which chef runs The Fat Duck, voted by Restaurant Magazine as the best restaurant in the world in 2005 and runner up in 2006 and 2007?

4. In Horse Racing, which course is home to 9 of the 31 annual Group 1 Races including King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes?

5. At which educational institute is Dorney Lake, the site to be used for the rowing events in the 2012 Olympics? 

6. Which comedian, who caused major offence in the same job last year, is set to host the Golden Globe's tonight?

7. Opened in 1998 and seating 24,200 people, which football team plays its home matches at the Madejski Stadium?

And once you have your answers, work out the connection between all 7. Hope you find that a bit tougher than the usual quizzes I post!
