6/10 for Friday. Knew the word, film star and fairly sure of national park and king. Winged it on the play and chemical element.

(Still can't get rid of quoting Eastswarleyshire.)

Okay. I've undisregarded the couple of "half sings" and included them. The final total is 46.

Bully Wee Villa went for 51 and Frankie 42. Frankie is closest and progresses through to his first final. 

:P

Apologies BWV, I know nothing about Travis, but 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything after all. 

Had a decent week on the quizzing front. My team won a pub quiz by a record 26 points last night. Have a feeling we might get barred soon though :lol:

6/10 today. Fairly respectable total this week.

Will need to fit next weeks quiz into Thursday and Friday, off home from tonight until Wednesday for a few days of well earned jakery.

League first. Congrats to Alang1993 who scoops another gong. Tynieness nearly hibsed it, but picks up a very respectable 2nd place. Down at the bottom, my relegation is without doubt. Felicitations to Die Hard Doonhamer who I believe is the first team to get the same score every day of the week. Sadly, it's not enough for him to avoid the drop. Leeds Saint is in another play-off.

So, @Leeds Saint and @blackislekillie are in the play-offs. Their question is a simple one ... Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" is a meaty tome. How many words does it contain?

In other news, just firing together the quiz for the Diddly Dee Jam Jar Trophy final!

Woohoo!! Automatic promotion back to the big time [emoji41] some serious restructuring within the boardroom to ensure it doesn't happen again is needed so the off season will be a busy one. Hope I can take this strong finish and momentum into the cup final. All the best to Frankie S for the big match!! Will Pm my score later today when not so busy.
