I announced a SUPERLEAGUE, posted it all week and warned all absent teams on the last day of the  season! Short of flying over to the States, booting in your front door, shaking you awake and screaming in your face that the league was on, I don't see what else I could have done!

You could've done that, I suppose. I would've made you very welcome.

I did get some luck with my score of 9 with the cricket, I guess NRL is a rugby league that question as well and one other I can't recall which.   The other I was pretty confident with.  

Watch my scores decline the rest of the week now probably. 

I would certainly hope so...

(Nine!!)

@Cardinal Richelieu Sorry been missing for the last 2 weeks for the playoff question, very buy at work during the July period.  

Can I ask for annual leave until August, I'll be back with rip rare questions, unlike your bouncy bouncy WTF question.  

I shall still have time in the morning to do the 1 minute Australian quiz, I'll just cut out the w**k.

Thank you.  Seee you all.

PS CR as always it's July, should I start the names for the Christmas Party? What a ball it was last year......PM names everyone, this year we will have in Ulaanbaatar

I'm taking umbrage at that. Calling my play-off question "the bouncy bouncy question" gives it negative connotations. It had absolutely nothing to do with Rangers (much to Kincardine's disappointment)! But yes, you take time off until August, you deserve it. 

Re: the Xmas Party. I'm well up for it, but Ulaanbaatar is getting a bit samey. Anyone fancy Tristan da Cunha this year? The good news is that's a British colony and they all speak English, which will please Kincardine. Bad news, is there are only 275 odd people living there, so pulling opportunities will be limited, which will displease Kincardine. Also, there's no airport and ships only call by once every 3 months or so, so you might have to take some time off work.

Few points. which are highlighted 

1. so pulling opportunities will be limited, - i really don't think this is a problem, however we can educate the local girls/boys of Japan Islands and Ozzie politics, they'll love it.  

2. take some time off work. Why? Tell them to f**k off.

PS I'm walking, not far.

And the results of your play-offs. I asked the world record time for the mile on a space hopper. The answer was exactly 13 minutes. And here's the weirdo who holds the current record...

Fastest-mile-on-a-space-hopper-2010-2.jp

As usual, I got some varied and rather wild guesses, although none of them were as ridiculous as Tynieness' guess last week.

First, in the Premiership play-off..

Peasy23: "Working on the uneducated guess that it will be a fair bit slower than running, I'll go for 10 minutes and 37 seconds."

LincolnHearts: "I will go for 2 minutes 15 seconds."

Amazingly, this is about the only post by LincolnHearts that hasn't been red-dotted. Especially amazing since it was so way-off. Peasy23's "uneducated" guess (I wasn't really expecting any expected guesses!) sees him retain his Premiership status. 

And in the SWL play-off ...

gkneil: "Complete guess 20min"

The Captain: "Space hopper answer 9 minutes and 26 seconds.. Bizarre question, but a worthy poser to separate the wheat from the chaff. I speak as one of the chaff."

Well, this is one of those David and Goliath clashes where the chaff beats the wheat. The Captain retains his SWL status. 

More wacky play-off questions to follow next weekend...

Well it's Monday lads. And that can only mean one thing. It's time for Tuesday's quiz.

And question 1 mentions John McVeigh. Although sadly, the question isn't:

John McVeigh is which of the following:

  1. A tit
  2. A fanny
  3. A twat
  4. All of the above

(just kidding. don't have anything against the guy. Indeed, I don't really know who he is. All I know is you try and type the word m i n g e into a post, it gets converted to John McVeigh is a tit). 

John McVeigh is a tit

edit: i got 5.
