Arthur Orton Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 All these high scores, I miss the days of our Aussie quiz and the expectancy of getting a nine only to get a five. A ten in those days was a thing to treasure, a victoria cross of quizzing, not now though they're ten a penny, as common as muck. Damn, where are you Japanese Island questions, aussie politicians, netball etc etc? Progress they say, give me back the good old days. I mind when I was a lad, going to quiz, no phones in those days, relying on your wits and acumen, today's lads surreptitiously checking answers under a table on phone, lack of morale fibre those lads, wouldn't want them in a trench with me. The quiz is representative of society today, kids expect big rewards for less effort. It leaves me empty and ready to move on, this is no longer my quiz, my time, my era. Has anyone seen my funeral plan? Time for my meds. Carry on. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Naughty 9 for Thursday. 1984 one wrong, disappointingly given I studied it at school (presumably like everyone else). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When c***s would be laughed at for using phrases such as, " lack of morale fibre" since the only fibre they know come from their ISP. Is that what you mean...? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're finished your tear-stained rose-tinted rant old man, you perhaps might like to furnish me with your scores for Tuesday and Wednesday.

You might have thought that my favourite book would be The Bible but it's not. Mainly cos it's a load of boring shite although it contains quite a bit of shagging if you know where to look.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Some leagues. It's tight in the Premiershit. And it's tight in the SWL (sorry alang1993 ... can't be arsed redoing it) Not quite so tight in the BHL but exciting nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean "handed", not "handled" Despite there being SEVEN (7) of you, not one of you bothered your arse "handling" anything in to me once. I actually had to come and get your sheet. I did this 4 times. 7+4=11. Oh wait. I see what you've done. You got 7. Still, I'm not deleting any of this so everyone knows the truth about you.

You're only 42, M8 and your weans are still quite wee. In a decade's time you'll be proud as f**k at how much they have progressed...except when you take them for driving lessons. That's when 'our' experience of technology is a real divider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
