peasy23 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 A stunning (by recent standards) 7/10 for Monday. Lying by a pool obviously doing wonders for the brain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Should've been a magnificent 7, turned out to be a meh 5/10. First 4 and the car manufacturer all right (knew them all) changed my mind on the sauce and, in my haste, despite all the warnings, I didn't read the last one right either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Izzy Whizzy, let's get quizzy, The day is Tuesday, the quiz is Ozzie. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz?quizId=7143§ionId=1 After knowing 6 and getting 6 yesterday, my heart sank as I guessed the first 7 ... thankfully, I knew the last 3 and managed to guess another 4 - so a sexy 7 for Old Cardy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 First 3 wrong then the next 7 correct. Knew 6 of 'em and guessed the author for a middling 7/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Knew three, scored six. Disgusted at getting the cricket wrong. Got some strange looks at work as was unable to prevent myself shouting "oh, f**k off" at the Aussie reality TV question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
