Bbc Quiz : Week 23

[Buenchico]

Hello again!

I got the first four questions wrong in the main quiz this week but I then recovered a bit, giving me a total score of THREE out of seven:

A less than impressive TWO out of five was all I could manage in the kids' quiz:

I could only scrape half marks, i.e. FIVE out of ten, in the Timed Teaser:

So my aggregate score of 10 will probably be beaten by everyone this week! Oh well, c'est la vie ;-)

Your turn!

[cashier]

Three and two as well.

[Buenchico]

You've left me in suspense (or maybe even in suspenders?), Cashier, awaiting your final score this week ;-)

[cashier]

Four on the timed.

[Buenchico]

Well, thank you for letting me beat you, Cashier ;-)

I wasn't expecting to beat many people (if anyone at all) this week!

[Milo2]

4, 3 and 8. A lot of lucky guesses in the timed quiz.

[Buenchico]

Guesses all count, Milo, and you're well out into the lead as a result of some good ones ;-)

Well done!

[haras2]

3/7 v 4/7
2/5 v 2/5
5/10 v 4/10
10/22 v 10/22. I put it down to sunstroke. Shady has been prowling the
long grass and picking up ticks...
Hope you and your three have had a good week :-)

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the Terrific Ten (or Terrible Ten?) Club, Haras2!

Its finally starting to warm up over this side of the country, so we've got a decent weather forecast for the weekend for once. [My friends from Italy are here, so we'll be visiting lots of gardens (about 20 in total, I think) on Sunday: https://www.grundisburgh.show/hidden-gardens-1 ]

I'm glad that Shady is happy doing cat things (even if that does involve picking up a few ticks along the way) at the moment. My lot are much the same except that Tablo has become super-affectionate for some reason. (I wonder if she's having a phantom pregnancy, perhaps?. If I'm in the bathroom, she'll use the edge of the bath as a launching pad to jump into my arms. If I'm standing up in my bedroom, she'll use my desk for the same purpose. If I'm somewhere where there's nothing to jump off, she'll simply climb up my body, just like a kitten climbing curtains. If I'm sitting at my desk, she leaps onto my knee. When I'm in bed, she absolutely insists upon sleeping on top of me (thus making it extremely difficult for me to get any sleep myself). She just won't leave me alone!

Evening Chris.

3/7

3/5

4/10

note to self, must try harder

Hope this finds you well ; ))

[Buenchico]

Well, I'm still not sure whether it should be called the Terrific Ten Club or the Terrible Ten Club, Sam, but, whatever it is, welcome to it, anyway!

;-)

[Buenchico]

^^^ PS: I hope that you're well too!

[haras2]

Think you're going to have to put your foot down with Tablo - not quite sure where though :-)

[david small]

4 as usual.

[Buenchico]

Tablo has already put her paw down with me though, Haras2 ;-)

You're certainly consistent, David!

[jourdain2]

I struggled to equal your aggregate of 10, Buen, but I did it. Phew!
3/7 3/5 4/10. I'd never even heard of half of the people or subjects!

[Buenchico]

Hi, Jourdain2!

The Terrific (or Terrible!) Ten Club is starting to look a bit crowded this week!

Welcome anyway!

[Patsy33]

Good evening, Buen x

[Buenchico]

Yet another member for the Terrific Ten (or Terrible Ten!) Club!

Welcome, Patsy!

Even your poor weeks are better than most other people's scores, Lie-in King!

[Caran]

4/7. 1/5. 2/10. Worse than ever.
