Salvo Montalbano Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 And trades union ... cheers Mr Montalbano ... any scores to add to that? [emoji4] Since you asked so nicely Your Eminence. A shite 5 for Monday, then two 7s for Tuesday and Wednesday. Sadly, I got more of my guesses right than wrong but was able to work a few out (almonds and lyrics). Did guess an Aussie politics one right for the first time in ages mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 1 hour ago, The DA said: Knew 2 (the year and Quakers) and scored 5 for Wednesday. I thought early-onset dementia might be... setting in and my memory was going but I had another look and I've NEVER known those answers. The film one was a bit odd... Even if you hadn't seen the film, 1 answer out of 4 stood out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you didn't know that, Tully sounds quite a male nickname . Of the 4 actors, he was the only male. If this comes across as me boasting a bit about getting a question right where I'd no idea what the right answer was, it absolutely is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hanks played James Sullivan aka Sully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Hmmm. ** don't read if you've not taken the quiz. but do read if you want to read what a c**t I've made of this ** First, I was confusing the film Sully (about the hero who lands the plane) with Tully (some film I've never heard of) Next, assuming the title role of the airline pilot was played by a male, I went for the only male sounding name (MacKenzie Crook etc) It's been pointed out to me that MacKenzie Davis is in fact a bird. Now that I think about it, I've seen trailers for Sully and it had Tom Hanks in it. So to summarise, I mis-identified the film, mis-identifed the gender of the actor/actress, and got the question right. I think there's only one winner here guys.

I've hidden a wee easter egg in there for the moment. Want to see if anyone notices. They all look the same to me so I think that's a red herring. 6/10 for Wednesday - and only able to score one guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds of the time I was playing in a tourney and my opponent was getting pissed off 'cos he was obviously a much better player than me, but I kept getting dealt much better cards. His cry of "If you want a game of luck, why not go and play bingo" was met with a resounding "If you want a game of skill, go play chess". Two hands later as he bombed me out the tourney but I left the casino with my dignity intact (in my mind). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
