Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Jesus. Just woken up after 2 days on the lash to a surfeit of PMs, a hefty Cardinal error, and rather surprisingly, no hangover. Apologies to gkneil and Eednud, first of all. Anyway, in the Premiership play off, it was Peasy23 vs Eednud gkneil .. gkneil scored 6/10 and Peasy23 scored.... so impressive, he actually managed to get 11/10! On his phone too! He definitely deserves to stay up.. hardlines to gkneil. And in the SWL play-off, it was Welshbairn vs Dyl. .... Welshbairn picked up 7... What is this "No donkeys here" thing all about? I'm confused. Anyway, Dyl nailed a perfect 10 so deservedly takes Welshbairn's place. Thank God there was no draws here, I don't think my mushy brain could have handled it . Now to sort out the cup before embarking on Monday's quiz which looks like a b*****d. Sigh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie S Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Definitely feels like we've strayed into the natural habitat of the wild guess rather than anything that passes for knowledge here. 6/10. Will take that. Was able to narrow down the Bahamas question a bit, and landed guesses on Aussie politics and Olympics. Knew the word definition, musical and novelist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Knew 3 got 3. Just when you thought you had your measure of Japanese island questions, they chuck in a double Japanese island question. No league tables until tomorrow. I can't imagine many of you will be wanting to see it anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpma Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 5/10, every guess came up short. I'll probably be late with further answers this week, going to disappear to a land without signal (a.k.a. Argyll) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
