Hello again!

[NB: There’s a BONUS QUIZ down below this week!]

A fairly standard ‘middling’ start for me this week, with FOUR out of seven in the main quiz:

Only ‘passable’ for me in the junior quiz, with TWO out of FIVE in the junior quiz:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/51318780

I managed to redeem myself a bit in Timed Teaser though, with SEVEN out of ten:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65665917

So that’s my fairly regular aggregate score of 13 for you all to beat (easily, no doubt, I'm sure!)

Hi, Jourdain2!

Decent enough scores in general, anyway, I feel. 3/7 (even with a guess) isn't too bad really. I'd love to see how many Americans would do with that quiz ;-)
Question Author
At least you're better at being a kid than I am, Haras2 ;-)

Yes, it's lovely to see some spring-like weather at last, even though the warmth of the sunshine here has been knocked back quite a bit by some northerly winds.

I hope that you and Shady will have a lovely long weekend!
I'm going to have to put a bit of water in it before I try these next time.
Main: 4/7
Jnr: 3/5
Timed: 6/10

Bonus: 5/7

Another new member of The Thirteen Club! Welcome, Arky!

Well done on joining me at the top of the table on the geography quiz too!
Thank you, I don't look at others scores before I have ago.
okay, 5/7 - can't believe i got the golf question wrong
3/5
5/10 - began very poorly but some good guesses did the trick

Despite the fact that geography was my worst ever subject at school - and i haven't improved in the intervening years - i did click on to it in order to attempt to answer a few.
However, when i was asked to say which countries were neighbours with other countries, i immediately changed my mind.

(I always know that it's late when I see that you've posted here)

When it comes to geography though, you're clearly a bit of a coward ;-)
Not bad for me this week!
6 in the adult
5 in the kids
7 in the geography
Question Author
Well done indeed, JJ109!

A near-perfect adult, a perfect kid and (because you actually know your geography) totally unqualified to be a minicab driver ;-)
5/7,1/5,5/10,3/7.Puss Puss very happy chasing after toy up and down stairs, Bailey continuing his very relaxed approach to exercise.Hope all is good with you and yours
2/7 and 5/5 in the kids. I am a kidult, Chris!
Hi Chris! Beautiful day today!

4, 4, 5 and 3 for me

Geography has always been one of my least favourite subjects.
Hope you and kitties enjoy this lovely sunshine :-)
Chris, my knowledge of geographical neighbours is sooooooooooooo limited. I know that England has Wales and Scotland as neighbours, and i believe that Canada and America are neighbours. and that's about it.
But, just to prove i'm no coward, geographically speaking, of course, i took the quiz and astounded myself by getting 3/7 - 2 of which were complete guesses. So, thmuuuurrrr :-)

Hi Campbellking.

You're not very childlike this week, I see. (Maybe you need to spend more time on your pogo stick?). Otherwise decent enough scores throughout, I feel.

Bailey's attitude towards exercise is shared by both Chequers and myself ;-)

I hope that you're all well and enjoying the sunshine.

Hi, 10CS. Well done with that perfect score in the kids' quiz. Award yourself an extra gobstopper!

Hi, Karamia!

It's always a beautiful day when I see your posts ;-)

Welcome to The Thirteen Club on the regular quizzes!

I met my old geography teacher n a pub a few years ago. I was about to tell him why I gave up Geography at the end of my 3rd Form studies when he said, "Don't bother. I know already. You gave up the subject because you couldn't draw the maps. That's what EVERYONE says!"

Hi again, Ken. Thanks for giving the geography quiz a go. You remind me of the (many) people who've arranged accommodation in the Dominican Republic but booked flights to Dominica, or vice versa ;-)
My geography is so good that a few years ago I arranged travel insurance for a trip to Mexico but I put Morocco on the form - as it happened I didn't need it...fortunately.
Question Author
^^^ Remind me not to book with your travel agency, Haras2 ;-)
Well - as long as you behave yourself - I'm sure you'll be fine :-)
Question Author
I never behave myself, Haras2 ;-)
