The All New Occasionally Aussie P+B Quiz League and ☕ Occasional Cup ☕


Recommended Posts

5/10 to start the week :whistle

Educated guesses on Earthquake affected country and Name of Capital city. Flunked TV protagonist and knew where you wear spats and writer of The Prince.

Went wrong way on Tanzania and Hollie founder on a 50/50 :(

Sorry to read your sad news @SlipperyP

7/10, a score worth posting for a change

Ah come now, if teams only posted their scores when they did well, we'd only have about 6 teams in the league! Just take the quiz and post your score each day, even when it's shite :)

Anyway, with most sides posting their scores, here's the league. A slight bit of shame on my part, whereby my trophy cabinet last week was bursting with "2nd place wins", none of which I've ever had. I've now rectified this. Let me know if there's any other mistakes in there.

5/10 for Friday. Should prevent me picking up a wooden spoon.

 

Which game are you getting to here? I'm tempted to go to the Aarau game on Sunday but the missus is still not talking to me on account of the fact I was a filthy alcoholic during my 5 days back home last week, and I don't know if I can push her any further right now. First game back after the winter break though...

Sorry I didn't get back to you mate. We did ASM Belfortaine v Dunkerque on Friday night, FC Basel v FC Lugano on Saturday and BSC Young Boys v FC Sion yesterday in a very snowy Bern . The price of drink out there is fcuking outrageous, so surely your wife should understand your filthy alcoholism whilst back in the UK?

I heard from Audaces earlier.  He was very busy watching young boys play at the wankdorf stadium.  After that he was going to the football.

Last heard he was mumping about the cost of drink.

£35 to be (at the) Wankdorf old bean, but the Young Boys played nice. :thumsup2 I'd love to see your face if you got the bar bill in Basel. :shutup

 

A boring 6/10, but no complaints as I had absolutely no idea about the ones I got wrong.

 

I'll echo WRK, more CSN&Y please.

A walkover in the cup, I'll take it8)
Denis shapovalov wins "best walkover reason" of the week though
For those who missed it(Yes i know the quality isn't great, best one I could find)

The description in the tennis thread of "cunted in the face" summed it up nicely.

Enough of this pointless trivia and "when did this person you've never heard of do this thing you've never heard of" ... how much did you pay for a beer?

It was about the same as Dublin prices in Zurich a few years back, pricey but not like Norway. Maybe I found a cheap bar though, just passing through.

Evening all, hope yer all well. It's Diddly Dee Jamjar Trophy first round we replay time. 2 matches drawn over the weekend and all four teams have a chance to make it into the 2nd round draw that will take place on Wednesday.

 

Dee62 v The_Kincardine

FrankieS v Leeds Saint

 

The following question is for the above players. Please PM your answer to myself before 5pm Wednesday and the results will follow along with the draw for the 2nd round.

 

Once all the sections of the Great Wall of China are measured, what is the official distance in miles?

 

Good luck!

Cheers Jagfox. They're the same phantom 2nd place finishes I awarded myself and thought I'd thieved from you. Does anyone (except Jacksgranda!) want / own them? :)

And thanks Welshbairn but that's not a great deal of use. Although I was in Dublin not long ago, I was running about with a walletful of Toytown money so I'd no real idea how much I was paying.

Probably the two best stadiums in Switzerland for watching football. Basel creates a tremendous amount of noise no matter how big the crowd, and the Stade de Suisse(to give it its Sunday name) is extremely comfortable with a great view no matter where you sit, unless you get stuck behind the ultras in the away section.

Drinks are expensive here if you are a tourist. Fortunately after 4 years of working here I am now on a fully fledged "Swiss wage" so relative to what I earn it's actually not that bad. I do drink less here and I do complain about the prices, but those two things are absolutely not related.

As for my filthy alcoholism, I put that down to being a schemey jake at heart.

Sounds like a decent wee trip!
