johnnydun Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Didn't like the quiz in the higher leagues anyway, the questions are so much tougher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what was the attendance? I'll send you a PM but I expect, "Proud Lanarkshire men at one end and a shower of inbred east-coast c***s at the other" may be wrong. 6 minutes ago, Jacksgranda said: Congratulations to me, very well done, I say.

pleslie99 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I still think we should have some sort of penalty for scores not being in on time. The top leagues been won by someone posting all 5 in one go after seeing everyone else's scores. I know we all have faith eta etc but just saying [emoji14] just call me a grumpy auld git mulling around at the bottom 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackislekillie Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Sorry mate. Fridays questions fell just about right for me.

Signed, Another grumpy auld b*****d. You're a pair of grumpy auld c***s though you do raise a valid point. There's no way of dealing with this without handicapping folk who are away with work/holidays/illness etc. Something like "No more than three answers in a row unless you hand in a sick note from yer maw" just isn't practicable so it's down to self-policing and shaming regular offenders. But also, the good thing about the thread is the daily badinage - such as @SlipperyPand his excuses and @Jacksgranda and his moment in the sun so those who only post at the end of the week need to take a look at themselves. I'm definitely in the 'auld c**t' category but spent 1 1/2 hrs explaining the cosine rule to my 15 year old this afternoon and she finally grasped it - so I'm a happy auld c**t. Anyway, here's Monday's quiz: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz?quizId=8233§ionId=1 6/10 for me so maybe I'm a grumpy auld c**t after all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the offer but a weekend that sees the Scottish egg chasers put 50+ points on the Aussies and my wee yin grasping trigonometry gives me a reprieve. No? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Boring 4 to start the week. Flipped on a couple of 50/50's, but really just guesses anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add me too it also. It is annoying, there was me having a great week sitting top after four days then alang (not picking on you it just happened to be you this week) fires in five scores and that's me fucked.
