Eednud Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 7/10. Why can't the quizzes normally be that easy? ^^^ Mismatched pre-season friendlies for this pish. [emoji81] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Right. I'm back on terra firma. So to recap... we still need the league play off between G_Man1985 and Blackislekillie (sorry for the confusion... forgot to sort my columns mister). So here's your play-off question... Last summer, I was lucky enough to visit the Czech town where the first sugar lump was made. They've got a lovely statue (see below) and plaques in various different languages telling you all about it. What I want to know is .... In what year did this momentous event take place? Answers in a PM please @G_Man1985 and @blackislekillie And in the cup, Supermik's drunken attempt is in (his own admission - haven't actually marked it yet). Just waiting on WRK to send me his and then we can put 2016 into stasis. Edited December 30, 2016 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 I love how both G_Man and Blackislekillie felt the need to preface their answer about the sugar-lump with "total guess" / "not a clue"... it wasn't really supposed to be the kind of question you would know the answer to! Anyway, I'm sure everyone is on the edge of the seat waiting for the answer... which is.. So congratulations to G_Man1985 (1874) who narrowly pipped Blackislekillie (1794) to complete a remarkable late charge and promotion to the top table. Hard lines to Blackislekillie... once you go down it's very difficult to come back (hope he understands that reference!). Remember, the new league kicks off on Monday 2nd January (or more likely on New Year's Day), and we'll all be brimming with confidence and hope for the year ahead until the first question about the Collingwood Magpies appears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really find any evidence of it online... surely if she was an occasional character she wasn't really part of the core gang?!

eckthearab Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Morning folks. Hope yer all having a good festive period! Decided to do 1 last quiz for the year and finished with a 6/10 for Friday's Aussie quiz. First 4 wrong then a run of 6 correct. Congrats to WRK on another cup win (can anybody stop this quiz machine [emoji848]) and well done GMan on his promotion. Have a very happy new year and I'll be back with you all in 2017 for more quizzing and hopefully a few league and cup wins for myself.
