Bbc Quiz : Week 30

[Buenchico]

It's Friday again, so here we go yet again. However there aren't just three, but FOUR, quizzes to test out your little grey cells this week ;-)

I got off to a good start this week, with SIX out of seven in the main grown-ups' quiz. (No guesses either, for once!):

I could only manage a middling THREE out of five in the junior quiz though:

I couldn't even reach 'middling' in the speed quiz :(
Just THREE out of ten for me:

This week's bonus quiz from Aunty Beeb is, in my humble opinion, quite entertaining. It's on 'strange sports'. (Don't worry if you know absolutely nothing about the sports that usually feature in the media. It wouldn't help here anyway!). I managed THREE out of seven:

So how will YOU fare, I wonder?

[Karamia]

Rather unremarkable scores for me tonight, Chris.
4, 4, 2, 3
The last quiz was a bit of fun though!
Enjoy your weekend :)

[FatticusInch]

Only did the first one, 3/7 and I was lucky to get that!

[Buenchico]

Well you're a bigger kid then me this week, Karamia, with an equal knowledge of silly trivia for the last quiz. So not too bad really ;-)

Three's not a total disaster, anyway, FI! (Why not try the very silly last on, to see if you can do better though?)

[tiggerblue10]

Ok, so my score was 0/7. I blame it on feeling ill and will retire from the other quizzes :o(

[sandyRoe]

Three stinkers and one not bad.
2,1,8, and 3.

[Milo2]

5, 2, 7, 3 this week.

[Buenchico]

>>> I blame it on feeling ill

Ahem! Your earlier post suggested that it was nothing more than a bit of a cold! Methinks that you're looking for excuses ;-)

Get well soon, anyway, Tigger!

Ruddy 'eck, Sandy!
8 out of 10 in the sprint event is exceptionally good!
Well done!
(Er, we'll gloss over your other scores though, shall we?)
;-)

[Buenchico]

Well done with that decent 5/7 and your equally creditable 7/10, Milo2!

[tiggerblue10]

Got a bit of a temperature now and feeling a bit shivvery, Chris. Started yesterday with a sore throat but seems to have progressed.

[10ClarionSt]

4/7, 3/5 and 2/7 in the odd sports quiz. I thought Somerton Man was a spy. There was a programme on about him not long ago, I think called The Proof Is Out There. However, I'm still bound for the heads' office Chris!

[Buenchico]

OK, Tigger. Let's hope that a hot drink (or a hot toddy?) and a good night's sleep will help to put things right for you.

[Buenchico]

Not too good, but not too bad either, 10CS ;-)

The Somerton Man news item is here:

[haras2]

6/7 3/7 Not good
3/5 2/5 Nothing special
3/10 5/10 That's better
3/7 1/7 Back to square one
I was so mortified yesterday when I realised that I had completely
forgotten Shady's birthday - a week last Tuesday!
Good thing he doesn't seem to have noticed :-((
Hope you and the terrific trio are all OK
By the way, really enjoyed the ads last night :-)

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Campbellking. Your first two scores are pretty good and the other two aren't too bad either. So well done!

I'm surprisingly well for an old 'un and the troublesome trio are all fine toom thank you. I hope that you're also in fine fettle and that you'll be getting that fence fixed (to accommodate a new feline friend) a.s.a.p!

Hi, Sam. At least you managed to avoid any major disasters this week, anyway! As stated above, I'm fine, thank you, and I hope that you're fighting fit too ;-)

[tonyav]

3/7, 2/5, 4/10 and 3/7 on the strange sports quiz.

[DTCwordfan]

six and four, no time now for the rest.....work beckons....

[Lie-in King]

5/7
4/5
6/10
5/7

[Buenchico]

Hi there, Haras2!

5/10 in the speed event is quite good, so we'll concentrate on that and forget about the rest, I think ;-)

I'm sure that some nice freshly-cooked chicken, and a big pile of Dreamies, will help to make up for you forgetting Shady's birthday. (It's hard for me to forget my lot's birthday, as they were the best Valentine's Day gift that anyone could wish for!). I'm fine thanks as are the furry threesome) and I hope that you and Shady both are too.
