Bbc Quiz : Week 17

[Buenchico]

Good evening.

I'm running a bit behind schedule because I've been catching up on some sleep tonight. The snooze seemed to help me with the main quiz anyway, as I managed a score of SIX out of seven this week:

The kids' quiz has some really easy question this week (as it should, of course) but I couldn't achieve a maximum score. FOUR out of five for me:

I was somewhat less successful in the Timed Teaser though, with a score of SIX out of ten this week:

So that's an aggregate of 16 for me. Can you do better, I wonder?

;-)

You are streets ahead of me this week, Chris!
Well done on those great scores!
2/7, 4/5, 7/10
Wishing you and kitties a wonderful week as always :-)

[Buenchico]

Ah, there is someone else about then!

Good evening, Karamia! At least you beat me in the sprint event, I see ;-)

Thanks for your good wishes. I hereby reciprocate - and the cats send you lots of purrs too ;-)

[Sam1960]

You're on fire, Chris. 3/7 4/5 (pleased with that) and 5/10.

[sandyRoe]

Evening all.
Three 4s today and some of them guesses.

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Sam. Well done on crossing the finishing line in the sprint race alongside me this week ;-)

[I'm fine for a old'un, thank you. I hope that you're in top form too!]

Hi, Jourdain2. Well done on being a near-perfect kid (just like me) this week!

Good evening, Sandy! Full marks from you, I see - for consistency, that is!

[haras2]

6/7 v 2/7
4/5 v 2/5
6/10 v 5/10
16/22 v 9(!)/22 Let's move on...
Shady has been having sneezing fits these last few days - as I have, I think due to tree pollen. Various websites say : don't worry if there are no other symptoms so I've decided to take him to the vet if he shows any other symptons over the next few days...
What do you think?

[kwillmott]

Surprised this week!
2/7
2/5
7/10

[Milo2]

4, 4 and 6, this week.

[Buenchico]

Hi, Haras2!

Better luck next week with your scores ;-)

My understanding is that pollen allergy in cats usually presents itself as a skin irritation, rather than sneezing. My lot have all had occasional sneezing fits but they've invariably got over them without the need for any veterinary intervention. I'd only bother a vet with the problem if there were other symptoms (such as lethargy) or if it continued for quite some time.

I hope that the lovely Shady is fully fit soon anyway. (Of course I hope that you'll get over any hay fever problems quickly too. There have always done the trick for me: https://groceries.asda.com/product/view-all-allergy-hayfever/asda-one-a-day-hayfever-allergy-10-mg-tablets-loratadine-tablets-30-pack/910001308087 )

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Kwillmott.

I see that you're a better sprinter than I am this week!

You matched me on two out of the three quizzes, anyway, Milo2 ;-)

[Lie-in King]

5/7
4/5
7/10

[haras2]

Thanks for the advice Buenchico...
When Shady first came to live here, (in July 2018) he had sneezing fits and I rushed him to the Vet only to be told that there was nothing wrong with him, so I think you're right...

[Buenchico]

Wow! I matched the mighty Lie-in King's aggregate this week. Amazing! (I've still never beaten you though, LiK!)

My cats seem to find something different (healthwise) for to worry about every week, Haras2. They still seem to be fine really though!

[haras2]

I agree
If there's something really wrong, it's pretty obvious...

[Ken4155]

Mirrored your scores in the first two, Chris 6/7 and 4/5. But went one better in the timed quiz with 7/10 :-))

[david small]

4 again.

[JJ109]

A very miserable 3 and 3 respectively

[twix123]

Thanks Chris, I couldn’t quite match you this week:

5/7
4/5
6/10

[campbellking]

4/7,5/5,6/10. Got the first 6 right in the timed teaser then bombed.Kitties distinctly unimpressed by my singing voice today, off to see if Norman and Magic think it’s any better.Hope all is good with you and yours
