Bbc Quiz : Week 6

[Buenchico]

I managed a 'passable' FOUR out of seven with the grown-ups' quiz this week

So it shouldn't be too hard for you lot to beat me.

I proved that I'm still a big kid though, with a maximum FIVE out of five on the junior version:

So who fancies a go then?

[Buenchico]

Oh dear, Theland! . . . and after you did so well last week too :(

Better luck next week (and I hope that you're feeling a bit better now as well).

You're more of a kid than a grown-up this week, I see, JJ109!
;-)

[Mozz71]

Ordinary scores for me. 4/7 and 2/5. Could've sworn Spurs beat Wigan 9-0 a few years back.

[Buenchico]

You've deprived Wigan of their only goal, Mozz ;-)

(Given that the score was only 1-0 at half-time, it must have been a very entertaining second half!)

Welcome to the club with your 4 anyway! The 2's rather better than some people have managed as well ;-)

Sorry, I have always been rubbish at crosswords.
I do a 10 minute one everyday, but can’t do cryptic ones.

The Quiz this week, I knew 4, and guessed 2.
I found the Gutenberg Festival one amusing because I didn’t know it, and was unable to make an educated guess at the 3 answers. That was the one I got wrong.

[Mozz71]

Must've been one hell of a half-time team talk Chico!

[Buenchico]

My crosswords aren't cryptic, Sunk. (I'm far too thick to come up with cryptic clues!):

Remind me not to use your services as a travel agent though, if you don't know the difference between the Gutenberg Festival in India

and the Goteborg Festival in Sweden

[Hopkirk]

5 in the main quiz.

I can't access the kid's quiz, perhaps it's got an anti oldies lick.

[Buenchico]

Well done on beating me with that 5, Hopkirk.

Theland often reports that he can't view the kids' quiz either. I've no idea why. Perhaps it's a browser problem? There is a link which says "If you can't view the quiz, click here" on the page I've linked to but it appears to go to exactly the same URL, so I've no idea whether using it will make any difference or not. Perhaps you could give it a try though?

[Hopkirk]

Oh I kept tapping it, but it just made the page shudder.

[Buenchico]

I just make women shudder, Hoppy ;-)

[rowanwitch]

2 0n both, can I trade in my brain for a new one,

[roopower]

2 for adult, full house for the childrens! That hasn't happened before.

[Buenchico]

Oops, Rowanwitch!

Sorry, I can't offer you a new brain; I've only got reconditioned ones in stock and, given that they all used to belong to politicians, I doubt that any of them are much good ;-)

Congratulations on reaching your second childhood, Roopower ;-)

[TonyV]

Just a 2 for me

[Buenchico]

Oops, TonyV!

You've obviously had lots of important things to concentrate on all week, rather than news trivia ;-)
