Bbc Quiz : Week 12

[Buenchico]

Yes, I know that I'm posting this ridiculously late this week but the side-effects of my chemo treatment prevented me from getting to my computer earlier on. I hope that most of the regulars, and perhaps a few newbies too, might still see this thread over the weekend.

I managed a fairly decent score of 5 this week but that was only through some very lucky guesses and the presence of a freebie question (where all of the answers are correct). I'm predicting that most people will also score around 4 or 5 but I'm probably way out with that. I usuallly am!

[Theland]

4 :-(

[naomi24]

5 this week. Quite a bit of guessing again - but ever hopeful that one day practice will make perfect.

[-SharonA-]

Not so good this week, I scored 3. I blame the corona virus, my mind's elsewhere.

[haras2]

Good to wake up and find you're back in business.
What is not so good is my miserable score of 3/7 after two 6/7s
Shady the Sad has gone back to bed feeling sad

[marval]

Thank you for posting this Buenchico, I only scored three. Like Sharon my mind is elsewhere.

I hope that your treatment is working, and that you feel better soon.

[Hopkirk]

A full house! I'm obviously watching and listening to the news too much.
I must step back I think.

[Milo2]

My worst score ever this week, 2!

[Cloverjo]

4 for me.

[woofgang]

5 not too bad.....

[maggiebee]

Dunce's hat this week - 3/7.
Take care Chris, stay safe and warm x

[Caran]

I got 5/7 but mainly guesses.

[Toorak]

5 this week - yippee :-)

[Patsy33]

2/7....
Nice to hear from you Buen. x

[Sam1960]

Its a 3/7 for me

[brainiac]

6 for me this week. Did it last night, but didn't want to usurp your position by posting the link!

[Buenchico]

Wow! A very wide range of scores this week!

Hopkirk has clearly had far too much time on his hands this week, with a MAGNIFICENT 7! BRILLIANT!

Emmie, Fibonacci and Brainiac have done really well too, with 6! Well done!

Margo, Naomi, Woofgang, Caran and Toorak can all join me in the Fabulous Fivers clubhouse this week! (Please use the hand sanitising gel by the doors upon entering. There will, of course, be a small administrative charge of a tenner for this service).
;-)

David and Theland performed reasonably well on 4 too.

Not such a good week though for Sharon, Haras2 (and Shady the Sad), Marval, Sam and Maggie, with just 3. "Could do better" goes on your report forms, folks!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! Just 2 each for Milo2 and Pastsy (and with a freebie included too!). I'm confident that we'll see a big improvement from them next week though ;-)

[Arksided]

2/7, my only excuse is being a tad poorly this week... (Nothing on your scale Chris, good to know you're doing better) Only news I've really followed have been talksport on occasion and obviously C-9 updates.

[Buenchico]

Oops, Arksided!

I'm sorry to hear that you've not been well. I hope that you made (or will quickly make) a full recovery.

As you point out, finding any news that's not about C-9 at the moment is far from easy!
