Bbc Quiz : Week 22

[Buenchico]

Good evening, all!

A somewhat pathetic start for me this week, with just TWO out of seven scored in the main quiz:

If I'd not changed my mind about an answer at the last second, I'd have scored full marks in the junior quiz this week.  As it is though, my score is FOUR out of five:

You beat me buen! 2/7 and 3/5 = a miserable 5.

I'm feeling better now, Jourdain2!

Thank you 😊

One and three.  Seems ok with 3 in the kids section as I think I'm entering my 2nd childhood.

Hi, Susan!

Thanks for allowing me to beat you this week!

The 'kittens' are driving me bonkers, as always, but they're just as lovable as ever! 🐱

 

Are you sure that you ever really left your first childhood though, Sandy? 🙂

 

Hiya, Patsy!

We're a perfect match, I see!

Will you marry me?  💕

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the club, Sam!

3/7, 5/5. Bailey chilling on the floor and Puss Puss has gone out for his evening stroll before returning to his cardboard box. A slightly more relaxing weekend for us all this weekend after refereeing all day at a girls tournament last Saturday . Hope all is good with you and yours

[Buenchico]

Well done, Campbellking!

You're in the lead - and a perfect kid too!

You'll have to remind me though about which particular sport it is that you referee.  (My brain only seems to retain a very small fraction of what it is that people have told me in the past!)

I'm glad that Puss Puss and Bailey are each enjoying doing their own things.  Moonbeam has now switched to his summer 'outdoor only' mode, choosing to sleep in the cosy (and fairly well-sheltered) cat bed that I've put on my front step for him.  Chequers spends a lot of time on my bed, especially when he can cuddle up next to me.  Tablo won't leave me alone for long at all; she'll sleep on my shoulder for hours when I'm in bed and follows me down to the local community centre if I go out for a drink.

I hope that you and your feline companions will all have a lovely week!

Hi, Haras2!

Like me, you seem to be more childlike than grown up this week, I see 😊

I hope that your feline visitor will decide to stay!

Have a good week!

Football. We even had a famous spectator in Alastair Cook as his daughter plays for one of the local teams

Thanks, Campbellking.

Refereeing football all day can, indeed, be rather tiring! I once spent much of an entire day refereeing a youth tournament in Belgium.  As soon as I'd finished refereeing one game, I'd be rushed into running a line on a second one, before being back in the middle again for a third match and so on.

One of the most tiring football matches that I refereed though was a team selection match between Sheffield Wednesday youth players and candidates for the South Yorkshire Schools' Under-18 side, which took place on one of the hottest days of the year.

All of the players were super-fit and anxious to impress their potential team managers.  Further, I knew that both SWFC and SYS were going to substitute their entire teams after 45 of  minutes play.  (So I'd have to do far more running around than any of those super-fit teenagers). 

What Jack Charlton (who'd asked me to referee the match for him) had omitted to tell me though was that there were going to be three 45-minute sessions in the match.  So each of the teenagers only had to endure the heat for 45 minutes but I had to struggle through for 135 minutes!

[Buenchico]

Well done, Scorpiojo and Lie-in King!

Your aggregate scores of 7 apiece are definitely among the higher ones this week!

[Patsy33]

😆 I thought you'd never ask, Buen..x

[Buenchico]

Will you wear white, Patsy, or shall I?
