OK here it is. The last quiz before the sky falls or was it a new pyramid scheme? There's a distinct Oceania leaning today with 1 pacific Island, 1 NZ and 3 Aussie and a Southern hemisphere question as well. Just remember this though before coming the raw prawn and going off like a big girl's blouse, it is an Australian quiz for Australian people. After all that I'm happy to report 8/10 to farewell the league as we know it. Didn't know NZ or gowf. Guessed Palau. element and song, knew the rest. Good luck and thanks to His Eminence the Card, for all his great work as keeper of the table. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz?quizId=5673&sectionId=1

5/10, knew 1 (author) half sure of country.

And on day 5, we have a new league leader! Arabdownunder is currently top of the heap (on goal difference from WRK).. Can't award any trophies yet though, since Frankie S and alang1993 still have to post their score. Down at the bottom, Jacksgranda just needs to score one point (or Jagfox99 has to get a somewhat unlikely minus one point) to avoid bottom spot. 

I shall make the draw for the league / cup around 5pm. That'll give anyone who's not posted a full week of scores to go into the hat for the top league. I was thinking of doing the draw live on P+B chat. If that doesn't secure hundreds of platinum memberships for Div, then nothing will!

Well alang can do the very unlikely and get a full boat in Friday's quiz, we have a new champion. Congratulations to ArabDownUnder! And commiserations to FrankieS who narrowly missed out on some silverware.

Right. The chat wasn't working ... but the following teams will find themselves playing in the Premier League next week...

  1. Bully Wee Villa
  2. Leeds Saint
  3. Arabdownunder
  4. Deej
  5. Supermik
  6. Welshbairn
  7. Blackislekillie
  8. Dee_62
  9. G_Man1985
  10. WillieA
  11. Ross
  12. Die Hard Doonhamer
  13. Eckthearab
  14. Frankie S

There's some big names missing out the top league, so it's up for grabs for everyone! All other teams - including me - go into the Beazer Homes League.. but with three promotion / relegation places, it should settle down soon enough. 

And in the cup... the first 6 names on the list above receive a bye. Everyone else... please PM me the score you got in the quiz posted at the end... the highest score in each tie will go through to the next round next week!

  • WILLIEA vs Frankie S
  • G_Man1985 vs BigBo10
  • Edmund vs Peasy23
  • The_Kincardine vs eckthearab
  • Cardinal Richelieu vs alang1993 (f**k. another big team... oh well, at least it should generate some much needed revenue)
  • Marr1 vs die hard doonhamer
  • Dee_62 vs Jacksgranda
  • Ross. vs Jagfox99
  • Swarley vs Blackislekillie
  • SlipperyP vs WhiteRoseKillie

And here's the quiz... gone back to our spiritual home again.. The Guardian! 

https://www.theguardian.com/news/quiz/2013/sep/17/daily-quiz-17-september-2013

Please have your scores in to me by Monday lunchtime! Good luck!!!

Congrats to Arabdownunder and nae luck WRK.  37 is an excellent score.  What's the highest we've ever had?  30 is the highest I've ever had (I think) and it still puts me well out of the euro places.

Oh and a home tie against 5x runner up and quizzing royalty?  Sake, Cardy!  Still, at least I understood every question even if I certainly didn't know every answer.
