Bbc Quiz : Week 46

[Buenchico]

After yet another ridiculously short week, it seems to be Friday again!

Just a pathetic TWO out of seven for me this week in the main quiz. (I really should have got the BBC history question right. I regard it as one of my specialist topics!):

Just TWO, out of only five this time of course, in the junior quiz for me too :(

Only a middling FOUR out of ten for me in the Timed Teaser as well:

Those scores are exactly the same as I got last week! I got to feel a bit better though when many of you lot fared just as badly (or, in some cases, even worse) than I had. So will you be keeping me company in the doldrums this week or will you all be sailing way out ahead of me, I wonder?

4/7,2/5,4/10. Just chilling with kitties and not reading the news…Puss Puss had his first trip to his new vets and was told he is a healthy kitty for his age, just got to keep working on getting the weight down ( he has now got down to 5.64 kg, only 1.64 kg to get off). Hope your kitties and yourself are well.

Evening Chris.

3/7

1/5

5/10

should've scored 3 in the junior quiz, least it wasn't a zero

Hope this finds you well ; ))

[cashier]

One and three.

[sandyRoe]

A bit like the curate's egg this week, good in places.
4-1-6

[cashier]

Four for me as well on the timed.

[Cloverjo]

I’m only slightly worse than you, Buenchico. 1, 2 and 4.

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Sam.

Well done on sneaking ahead of me by a single point this week! I'm basically fine, thanks, except for a lot of tiredness lately (which affects 3 out of 4 men with prostate cancer, so I'm not exactly surprised). I hope that you're 'fighting fit' (but not actually looking to fight anyone, of course!)
;-)

Hi, Campbellking:
Not great scores, maybe, but still better than me!

I reckon that a 4 kg kitty (or one that will eventually be) must be quite small. Even my tiny Tablo weighs in at around 4.2 kg, with her slightly bigger brother weighing around 4.7 kg. Chequers, at about 8.5 kg, weighs nearly as much as his two siblings put together. (He's just a little podgy, maybe, but most of his weight comes about from simply being a very big cat. I used to have a really sleek cat, with not a gram of fat on him, who weighed 10.5 kg. He was known as 'The Panther' to people around here!)

I'm glad that you and your new feline friends are enjoying life together anyway - although I'll bet that Puss Puss sidn't like going to see the vet!

[Buenchico]

Hi, Cashier.

Thanks for keeping me company on a lowly aggregate total of 8!

You're out in the lead on your own at the moment, Sandy! Well done!

Thanks for making me feel a bit better about my scores, Clover ;-)

[kwillmott]

Well The dreaded zero has appeared!

1/7

2/5

0/10

[Buenchico]

Oops, Kwillmott!

I'm getting the feeling that this week hasn't exactly been one of the easiest for many people ;-)

Better luck next week!

[jourdain2]

Well, not sailing ahead. Crawling (in parts) perhaps. 3/7 4/5 (pleased about that) and 5/10.

[Buenchico]

Congratulations on
(a) being a near perfect kid this week ; and
(b) being our new leader too,
Jourdain2!

Evening Chris, 3/7,2/5 and 5/10 for me this week.
Sipping on a nice Wickwar Station porter here, nice drink.

[Arksided]

Not too bad by my own standards:

Main: 4/7
Jnr: 2/5
Speed: 6/10

[Lie-in King]

5/7
3/5
5/10

[Arksided]

^ he would ;-)

[Buenchico]

Well done, Arksided. You were briefly our joint leader until the might Lie-in King posted with a higher score. As you say yourself, "He would!".

[Well done, Lie-in King!]

Good evening, Tony. Well done on beating me (not that it was exactly hard to do this week though!). I've not tried the Station Porter myself yet but I've already added it to my 'possible beers for Christmas' list, so I reckon that it's now become a 'definite beer for Christmas' item instead ;-)

[tonyav]

Well worth a try, Chris.

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Tony.

I've been finding it difficult to get decent dark beers lately. For example, not one of the big supermarkets is currently stocking Young's Chocolate Stout :(

So I'll have to make do with a wheat beer from the stock in my meter cupboard tonight ;-)

[tonyav]

Hah back to the cupboard love then Chris.

Young's Chocolate Stout
I haven't spotted any for quite sometime either.
