Bbc Quiz : Week 52

[Buenchico]

Good evening all!

Another year nearly gone!

I managed my fairly regular 'middling' score of FOUR out of seven in the main quiz this week:

There doesn't seem to be a junior quiz this week but, because we were all doing the big four-part annual grown-up's quiz last week, I never posted the link to last week's kids' quiz anyway.  So here, a week late, it is for you:

(I scored FOUR out of five).

Happy New Year everyone!

Good morning. I managed four for each of the quizzes too - some guessing going on though. 

Happy new year to you and your furries, chico. 

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the club,Roo!

The Fun Threesome and I send you all  best wishes for a wonderful year in 2024!

Late to the party. 4/7, 5/5. Bailey and Puss Puss broke into a friend's present bag and liberated their own catnip toy. Hope yours are behaving...

[Buenchico]

Well done on beating me - and on being a perfect kid this week too, Campbellking!

My lot can't seem to make their minds up about whether they like catnip or not.  However I came across these little tins of catnip treats in Poundstretcher recently and they seem to be going down well with Troublesome Trio:

(There's about a month's supply of treats in each tin, at the recommended maximum of 9 treats per day, even with three cats to give them to. The shelf label said the price was reduced from 79p to 50p but they went through the till at just 40p).

I hope that you, Puss Puss and Bailey will all have a lovely 2024!

Thanks, Jno.

My cats are usually in that sort of mood just as I'm trying to get to sleep!

Hapurr New Year to you & the mogs, Buenchico 😊

[Buenchico]

At last!  At last!  I've had to wait an entire year but I've finally beaten Lie-in King! (Thanks, LiK!).

All the best to you for a lovely New Year's Eve and a wonderful 2024 from the Feline Threesome (and from me too!)

THREE out of 7 on the main quiz but FIVE out of 5 on the youngster's quiz - shows how young at heart I am LOL.

[Canary42]

... and a Happy New Year Chris, and to all other competitors.

[bookbinder]

I am so embarrassed! I scored a miserable - nay, less than miserable - one in the main quiz! Please don't publicise this! I have always regarded myself as an achiever, but today I have hit rock bottom!

[Buenchico]

There's nowt wrong with being 'young at heart', Canary42! It's my excuse when people call me 'childish' 😄

 

>>> "Please don't publicise this! "

Of course not, Bookbinder.  I've only informed the BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, PA and Reuters so far.  So not much publicity there then, obviously 😊

[Arksided]

oh dear, rescued by the football questions... Beer has nothing to do with it 😏

Main: 3/7
Jnr: 3/5

Happy New year to you Chris and all others that try and have a go.

So you've already started on the spirits, have you, Arky?

Thanks for joining in each week and a Very Happy New Year to you!

[Arksided]

So you've already started on the spirits, have you, Arky?

of course not 😜
