Not as good as The Pregnancy and Parenting thread, mind And for the polar opposite, check out the unwarranted torrent of abuse I've received on the last page of the Creepy and Strange thread. I'm pleased this thread has gone the way of QI rather than Weakest Link! Bang average 5/10 for me. But I'm resting all my key brain-cells for tomorrow's big cup game.

welshbairn Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 A frankly astonishing 7. Knew the tourist destination, was pretty sure about the music and got Blanche by elimination. Rest were random guesses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 An unassailable 15/10 with no passes 5/10 and I feel embarrassed that I knew the sitcom question And so you should. And me, because I knew it too. [emoji20]5/10, knew the country, Olympics and the sitcom, got lucky with the book and the music questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been on P&B for a few months longer than me and, like you, I am astonished that anyone would take issue with either 'rabbit sitting' or the fact you spent a week in a hoose and didn't check the dishwasher for bleeping. 'Unfairly victimised' is my shout! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my cup score transmitted to myself. Looks like TNS Welshbairn will be progressing to the quarter finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
