Off Topic Biweekly Quiz

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

1st, Pride and last guesses correct for a disappointing 3... just felt like I should have guessed better????
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.

 

4/7
Common People
Common !!
Cheers Blond

 

Lucky you and Well done Snaggey lad

 

4/7 Pulp, bah pap
Actually still above average I'm happy

 

Struggled to a 2

Cheers BB

 

I wonder why @Blond Bombshell liked this post

At the moment, you are this weeks most popular contestant

 

Rule 1 Post your score
Rule 2 Like everyone's replies.

 

Rule 3. Try not to score a Zero, because its never bloody forgotten.

 

Rule 4. Ace it to remove "One" of your memberships to the club that cannot be named.

 

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

 

3/7
Mis-Shapes

Good start, good finish, middle order collapsed like the England Cricket team

 

I couldn't remember who it was mate. Thanks for reminding me

 

It's currently sitting in post 16 on page 113 marra

 

Back down to earth with a bump.
2 for me. Fortunately they were early on so wasn't panicking.

 

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

Phew

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.

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

Enjoy

 

A poor 16, helped massively by the biscuits round.

Cheers @Blond Bombshell.

 

18 for me. Agreed, the biscuits round was a nice easy one.
