Off Topic Quadweekly Quiz (Thu to Sun)

[OldNewtown]

I only guessed four (yes, four) correctly

Well hello Mr Popular

I can say that now, but I will be declaring a low score on the BBC quiz later.

@Snaggey Dont get too excited, it's not a zero club score

Welcome to the final Thursday news quiz of the year – a small festive tradition involving the news, a handful of jokes, and the knowledge that somewhere there are 1,057 pedants limbering up to find something to nitpick. And it is a bumper 20-question edition. Thank you for quizzing throughout the year, for your comments, corrections and good-natured quibbles, and most of all for the kind messages literally hundreds of you sent the quizmaster during the Great Thursday Quiz Hiatus of 2025™, when he was off sick. It really meant a lot. Allons-y!

• The Thursday quiz will return in the new year and wishes you a Merry Christmas, a great festive holiday period and all the best for 2026. Sign up for First Edition to get a Thursday quiz-style quiz of the year in your inbox on Christmas Day.

An average 7, changed my mind on 3... so calling 12 out of 20 a good score... well, it is Christmas.

Merry Christmas quizzers

Enjoy

7/20 too.

I knew the answers to those 7, didn't get a single guess right on the others.

 

[OldNewtown]

11/20 Once again I'm surprised at how little I knew. I must read completely different news sources to the person that sets the quiz.
Or, perhaps, I'm just thick.
When you know, you know.
When you don't know you're....... (insert suitable word)

Cheers @Blond Bombshell

 

[Snaggey]

I got 10.
I think i was on 2/10, but a decent 2nd half saved my bacon.

Very similar to Snaggey. Didn't get any of the first seven but recovered to 10/20.
