The All New Occasionally Aussie P+B Quiz League and ☕ Occasional Cup ☕

[Arthur Orton]

Well that was a fantastic first round with everyone taking part.    Incidentally the play off question, Albert Ball had 44 kills when he died in 1917.    We will have the team aggregates first and in the current order

Leading the way with a stonking 48 points is Team Shark.   Ruggy top scored with a nine.

In joint second with 47 points is Team Bear.   Top scorer WRKwith a nine

The other team on 47 is team Tiger.  Top scorer was four of you with an eight.

In fourth place on 45 points is team Lion.  Top scorer with a nine was Deej.

In fifth but not far behind on 44 points is team Crocodile, top scorer was Caspian Chris with a nine.

Onto the indiviudal competition now.

@WhiteRoseKillie v @Arch Stanton  Every contest needs a big tie and the two heavyweights gave a great display but alas it was Yorkshire's favourite turnkey who nudged through against the man with the chemistry degree (or something else Sciency) 9 points to 8.  Unlucky Arch but you can still win the individual event over 4 rounds.

@Salvo Montalbano v @alang1993  Salvo was late to the party after being held up at a crimescene against the young pretender who left the pub for long enough to go through seven points to six.  Lion defeated Lion, that could be awkward in the dressing room.

@Rugster v @Helpma Another clash of the titans saw Falkirk's finest  agaisnt the recently returned Helpma who had us all worried.   In a high scoring contest with both attacks on top Ruggy went through 9 points to eight.

@Eednud v @The_Kincardine  It was the battle of the old timers with Adelaide's Edmund up against Bucks Kinky, this pair were inconsiderate enough to draw eight all but in the playoff Edmund did enough to edge through.  Unlucky Kinky.

@Bully Wee Villa v @G_Man1985 Everyone's favourite mod against the Irn Bru guzzling five a side pro was to produce the shock of the round.  Snooker fan BWW found himself tight behind the black as Gman produced a cracking performance to go through eight points to four.

@Silky Si McFly v @Cardinal Richelieu This pair asked to play each other, one of them will be regretting it now, Simon is a quiz hosting expert and knows his onions, the Cardinal is a workshy layabout who steals from the Church.  Delighted to see Si go through eight points to seven against the IT exprt (geeeeeekkkkkkk)

@Spring Onion v @Jacksgranda This was a step to much for the old man from loch nagar, sorry Norn Iron as he fell to Palmerstons finest Spring Onion  in an eight points to six scoreline.  Springy certainly seems to be in season and with this display he could go far.

@101 v @die hard doonhamer Young Adam or symbol or whatever he is calling himself this week is definitely a cup specialist.  He did come up against a tough competitior in the Qos cricket and golf loving DHD who I think is also a referee.  Well his card was marked here as he fell eight points to five aginst 101.  The green suit will be on now.

@LincolnHearts v @kingjoey  This could have went anyway with Jambo facing Aberdeen in a battle of the veterans.  A positive start from joey a bit like his Aberdeen players corona tests wasn't enough though as Lincs stormed through to take the tie eight to five.  A bad week for all associated with the Ewe Camp (tee hee).

@JamesP_81 v @mathematics  This was another good tie, New dad James must not be getting his beuty sleep though as he narrowly fell to Tattoo loving Killie Fan Maths who got his sums right to nudge through seven points to six.

@peasy23 v @The DA  Another cracking tie in this one, Petershill enthusiast (the old ground was great) against the inconsistent but talented DA.   the latter was to do enough though as the Dundee United fan nicked through eight points to seven.  The fans got their monies worth that's for sure.

@Perkin Flump v @BigBo10   Tiger v Shark now that would be a cool name for an animal, a tiger shark, I wonder if anyone has thought of that before, well maybe. Anyway moomin and the auchinleck fan  in an all Ayrshire battle were to draw eight all.  I've been to Talbot's ground, I never knew I could run so fast.   In the play off Perkin's knowledge of WW1 flyers did the trick.  Unlucky Bo.

@The Captain v @deej The bookies couldn't split them and it was close.  My dear chum El Capitan got an eight, unfortunately for him cup specialist and Dundee fan  (my there is a lot of them isn't there) scored a whopping nine.  Well done you Albert Kidd loving fiend.

@MixuFruit v @Geaky  Mixu can often be seen making things is his work shop or cooking up a tasty treat, looks a better cook than my wife tbh was up against the enigma that is Geak.  I've only noticed that he has a bear as an avatar, shame I put him in team Lion, I suggest you keep an eye on your team mate lions.  Anyway as it was Geaky served up a treat to defeat Mixu seven to six and leave him choking on his latest gourmet meal.

@SlipperyP v @NJ2 Our league table guru and a man that does a great job came up against one of his apprentices the Welly Boot.  Concentrating so much on the league and picking all those flowers meant that Slippy slipped, the Welly boot loving Tennent's gulping Jambo goes through eight to five.

@NotThePars v @Snobot  The recently returned NTP has looked good since his self imposed exile and he was up against a wiley competitior in Snobot, I don't know enough about Snobot I must pay more attention in future (I'm not a stalker honestly) but I do like his avatar.  Incidentally NTP goes through eight to five.

@Adamski v @Blootoon87  Adamski has a picture of Benjamin Massing as his display, that is quite apt as his last minute appearance was as late as Massing's tackle on C Cannigia back in the 1990 world cup.  (Massing passed away a couple of years back).  Blootoon is hot of the heels of winning the last cup as team England, he wasn't too keen on the team name but by golly he was keen on the trophy he picked up.  His good form continues as he beats Adamski eight to five.

@Leeds Saint v @German Jag This was another close tie, Leeds Saint who also won a trophy against the big Hannover fan Jerry Jag.  Now Jerry is in team Lion and his club's rivals are apparently Lions, oops.  It just got worse for him though as Leeds Sain went through seven to six.  Well done Mr Saint.

@gkneil v @CaspianChris  This was a mouth watering clash against the consistent Aberdonian and the Dundee United loving Caspian dweller.  A new Firm battle if you will but Jim McLean's lads cruised through nine to six against Ian Porterfields troops.  It's not been a good week for Eberdeen.

Finally @pleslie99 v @Ross.  These two bunnets also drew, P Leslie has been up and down recently but he always does well in the cups.  Clydebank (yuck) fan Ross is another new father (congrats) and I'm not sure if anyone knows this (he has never mentioned it) lives in Switzerland.  Well Ross you need to read up more on your WW1 flying aces as Mr Leslie goes through after an eight all draw.

Well everyone that concludes this round.   I will put up the next round tomorrow at some points, but it's all to play for in the team event, the individual event and the head to head.  I'm now away to get a beer, and get bladdered.  Have a good evening everyone.

As long as the person organising the cup quiz is unbiased and doesn't pick favourites, I'm happy.

The picture of someone holding the Scottish Cup aloft as his background was a pretty big clue that he doesn't...

Anyway...my guess is 28.

I not read this book, however I see he is credited with 44 kills (BBC), however, when I checked his Wiki page.  It was 44 victories, some of these victories were the other plane having to land. No mention of a "kill". I don't judge your answer, was just curious where you found the answer. Thanks.
