The All New Occasionally Aussie P+B Quiz League and ☕ Occasional Cup ☕


Recommended Posts

Onto the cup replays. All guesses now received and I can confirm the scores.

Dee62 4004miles v The_Kincardine 5000miles

FrankieS 6500miles v Leeds Saint 2500miles

The correct answer as of 2012, and taken from several sources including China highlights, bbc, Wikipedia and reference.com is 13,170miles long.
This means Kincy and FrankieS were closest with their guesses and progress to the next round. Congrats to them and commiserations to Dee62 and Leeds Saint. The draw for round 2 will take place tonight.

I'm going into the 2nd round with confidence at an all time low. I hope we draw one of the big boys so at least the finances can keep us going for the rest of the season. Maybe even invest in some books.

Well, it wouldn't be the P+B Quiz League (and Cup) without accusations of skullduggery being bandied about. It seems that as soon as you take on an administrative role within the set-up, you also become a target for all the sneerers and nay-sayers. Well no more. Criticise one of us and criticise us all. I stand tall beside you Brother Eck (and Neil Doncaster). 

Oh wait, he drew me against the Cup Specialist WRK in the first round of the cup. The hounds can have him. 

Anyway, in the Premiership, Brother Eck and Deej are riding high. after WRK's shambolic collapse. Welshbairn and Jagfox are packing their buckets and spades in preparation for next season.

And among the diddies, Tynieness is absolutely romping it with Arabdownunder yearning a return to their glory days.

Also, I woke up around 4 this morning with an absolute rip-snorter of a tie-break question rattling around my brain - and now I can't remember the b*****d. Oh well, if I keep my 3rd place spot, I won't need it anyway.
