Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Was feeling very pleased with my self after Monday's 9/10, and then Tuesday's 2/10 came right behind it. I plan on drug testing my players who may have over celebrated Linfield's miraculous title win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Okay, before I post the league tables - here is the cup! Two rounds of 10 questions ... PM me your answers before Thursday lunchtime and we can award the trophy on Friday in advance of a new cup month. Anyone not in the final feel free to post me your answers if you fancy having a shot, but otherwise don't post your answers (even in spoilers since they don't work half the time). For the specialist subject questions, I've gone for Harry Potter (we've had the Scottish Enlightenment before), Prison Break (don't think we've ever had a question on that) and the snooker.

Named after Scottish surgeon Charles Bell, Bell’s palsy affects which part of the human anatomy? 13. Which is the only country in Central America that does not have a Pacific coastline? 14.Which prolific author who died in 1975 is credited with coining the words gruntled, pottiness, whiffled, and zing? Set of 3 - Sport and Politics 15. Which former test-cricket captain leads the Pakistan Movement for Justice in the country’s National Assembly? 16.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) And here's the league tables... a few results still to come in. Let me know if I've missed you out! In the Premiership, Alang1993 is stamping his authoritah, with a near perfect 19/20. Couple of teams yet to post (and if they don't they're relegated!) In the middle league, Livi Lion has a two point cushion over The_Kincardine with a further 4 teams hot on their heels And down in the basement, Swarley is THREE (3) points ahead at this early stage. Madwullie and SlipperyP are neck-and-neck. And I miss Eck Edited May 2, 2017 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Corrected now G_Man1985. And Bully Wee Villa has set the standard for the cup final (even though he's not in it) with 13/20. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I like to pretend I'm involved in Cup Final day in some small way. Maybe the diddies who didn't make it through can contest the Cup Final Mascot Race? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 While we wait on the Cup Final result and the Cardivicius comes to grips with who's in the first might as well do the Wednesday quiz.
