    I checked yesterday and The Guardian is still on its summer hiatus... so The BBC Reaper quiz storms center stage...

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c23gp3yeym0o

    1st, Pride and last guesses correct for a disappointing 3... just felt like I should have guessed better???? :emoticon-0103-cool:
    What a bizarre feeling.

    Enjoy

    A decent 5 for me.
    Knew first 3, correct guess for 4, 5&6 wrong, knew 7.

    Cheers @Blond Bombshell.

    Rule 4 Particularly like a reply that posts a score lower than yours, and gets you off the bottom of the pile :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    I'm not the right shape, either, having only guessed two correctly . . . . the last two <yikes>

    Quiz 3rd Jul 2025
    The JOE Friday Pub Quiz: week 458

    Charlie Herbert

    Too hot? Maybe. Too hot to quiz? Never.
    Hello quizzers, I write to you from a sweaty past, by which I mean Tuesday of this week. As I type this, it’s a quite frankly unacceptable 33C outside and I find myself yearning for wind and rain.

    The forecast informs me that as you read this though, it will be a much more pleasant temperature in the mid twenties for many of you. Positively arctic conditions compared to what we started the week with.

    And there’s the intro. My brain isn’t working, my fingers are sweating and no good will come from me rambling on.

    Enjoy your quiz rounds on film synopses (yes, that is the plural of synopsis) and biscuits.

    Time to cook.

    https://www.joe.co.uk/quiz/the-joe-friday-pub-quiz-week-458-494184

    The 50% Guaranteed Quiz

    17. The last two rounds, films and biscuits, saved my bacon.

    Enjoy

    A poor 16, helped massively by the biscuits round.

    Cheers @Blond Bombshell.
