dee_62 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) 7/10 for a super sexy Friday - probably not enough to save me from my fist visit (in a while) to the seaside league. 4 Aussie questions I think and I only managed to guess Banjo. Knew 5 of the other (non-Aussie) ones though, so things are looking up! (until I get bumped out of the cup in the first round...again...)

Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) I think that's the first time in living memory I've not had to chivvy someone for their league scores... I should go away more often. Anyway, here's the league tables... and jolly exciting they are too. First off, many congrats to MSU and pleslie99 who scoop their second first and first second respectively (I'm sure there's a less confusing way to write that). But this won't be the news grabbing the headlines ... who the f**k is that languishing in BOTTOM place? Why, it's only 13 times league winner, WhiteRoseKillie - it would seem that when WRK his forced to do the quiz on his own dime, he can't hack the pace. So down he goes with Tynieness, with Jagfox99 in the play-offs. Into the SWL, and Arabdownunder earns his first SWL league title with a late Friday charge. LiviLion loses out to The_Kincardine due to the vagaries of the new Quiz Difference regulations but still nabs a play-off place. Downstairs, Ross and Madwullie are relegated, with Dee_62 in the play-offs - again due to QD. By the by, can I just point out that there were 5 teams tied on 27 places who weren't vying for anything. A lesser league administrator might just have left them in the order they fell.... but not this league administrator... no siree. And finally, in the BHL, Supermik scoops his 2nd BHL title, and is promoted alongside serial yoyo-er deej....newcomer Wilkinson1998 finds himself in the play-offs with rumours circulating in the tabloids that he is One for the Watching (in a football-quiz hybrid managerial sense, not in a beastly one). Congats also to BWV who has achieved what I believe is his lowest ever score and position in the league structure. Quiz newcomers will be wondering how the f**k he managed to achieve a gold medal ... nobody is quite sure... perhaps BWV can explain! And the play-offs.. @jagfox99 vs @LiviLion and @dee_62 vs @Wilkinson1998 Back in 2000, the Guardian published an article in light of some research performed on behalf of Guinness. Some might call this cheap advertising, but it makes for a great tie-breaker question...anyway, according to the research, how many pints of beer are wasted every year due to men with facial hair trapping and losing beer in their moustache and/or beard? To pad out the article, they also gave the average loss to various hirsute celebrities which I've recreated below to pad out this post give you a clue... So answers by PM to me by Monday lunchtime please! Now to go and chivvy cup c***s. Edited June 4, 2017 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) A quicky chivvy to all those who haven't responded to the June cup quizzes (and those who have responded and I've missed - and not to those that I believe have responded who haven't). @Ross. .. @Wilkinson1998... @Tynieness ... @DeeMan ... @WhiteRoseKillie ... @G_Man1985 ... @gkneil ... @die hard doonhamer Oh, and also to Wilkinson1998 for the play-off question, although I'll cut him a bit of slack cos he probably didn't realise that joining the quiz thread would require so much attention!

Say the link you posted is 2 pages back - that's 8 posters having to go back 2 pages to find it. 8 x 2 = 16. When you subtract the 2 pages you had to go back, that's 14 pages of data I've saved the interweb from using up, thus saving energy and ultimately the environment.
