Swarley Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Myself and Swarley are still flaffing around in what could loosely be described as "mid table", as usual. This is my best league position since forever. It's similar to when East Stirlingshire had a good season or two before they hit the bottom and we're papped out the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 A steady enough seven with a couple of guesses, including cricket(!). I'll take that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 A poor4/10, knew king and bridie, guessed word and (whisper it) Vatican flag. Guessometer still misfiring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eckthearab Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 After yesterdays decent 7, Tuesday brings a mediocre 5/10. Flag, Edward IV, spelunking, krennic and bridie with no guesses. On to the cup replays. Both Kincardine and Cardinal both gave the same answer of 120 miles for the question regarding the length of the Hadrians Wall Path. As this was the incorrect answer they were both asked to submit a second guess. Kincardine came back with 100 miles while Cardinal guessed 150 miles. In the other tie Welshnairn guessed 87 miles. Despite a PM from myself and holding off on giving the result no answer has been submitted from SlipperyP meaning Welshbairn has a walkover into the next round. The correct answer to the question is 84 miles. Meaning Kincardine and Welshbairn progress to the next round so congratulations to them and commiserations to Cardinal and SlipperyP. A special mention to Welshbairn for his guess, being out by only 3 miles. ETA guess received from Slippery of 100 miles. So there would have been no change to the outcome. Commiserations Slippery and Welshbairn continues to the next round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 3/10. A little better than yesterday. Knew the 3 I got correct, every other one was a shot to nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For actual Monday quiz I got 7/10, guessed two and went wrong way on two 50/50s. Wait, what's this sorcery? Don't tell me we've got 2 Monday quizzes flying about. That'll confuse things. Well done to Mr_Kincardine in the cup. I'll create a quiz for the next round and post it tomorrow. Sadly, I've got a phone interview at 10am. I've kinda got used to not working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the thing. I wasn't doing nothing! The snazzy league tables didn't put themselves together you know! And it's a full-time job keeping them updated. Which is why I asked for a very reasonable £100 per side per month for admin fees, but sadly this fell upon deaf ears. All the scores in the Premiership... the dream is still alive for Tynieness. Some poor scores in the relegation zone, not helped by the "two quiz Monday".

It went okay thanks. One of the sticking points might be that the job is in the Czech Republic and the salary for a cardinal is about half that in the UK. Having said that, I don't actually have a parish / see here, so there is a lack of beggar / chooser synergy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite like a Kozel beer though, which means goat (they have a big goat on the bottle to remove any doubt). Cheers for the Bible lesson too.
