    I knew the answers for the club world cup, tennis and trump questions.
    2 lucky guesses for the planets and TV ones.

    BBC Weekly quiz: Who rescued England's Lionesses against Italy?
    • Published
      24th July, 2025
    This week saw a drugs ring run by a "gangsta" granny sent to prison, the preliminary report into last month's Air India disaster, and Prince George celebrate his 12th birthday, but how much attention did you pay to what else happened in the world over the past seven days?

    Quiz collated by Ben Fell.

    4, a great start getting the first three, knew the Lionesses... petered out...

    Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving

    Enjoy

    Ah, man...so bloody close, nearly Aced it.

    I got 6, and it was the last one I got wrong.
    Q4 was a guess, the other 5 I knew.
    Soooo close.

    Cheers @Blond Bombshell.

    It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

    Content enough with that, until I saw Snaggey's effort. Well done mate!

    5/7 should have been 6 but I over thought the Trump question.
    I'm happy with that score and once again I'm above average :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Cheers @Blond Bombshell

    Birthday week has thrown me off schedule <laugh>

    BBC Weekly quiz: How did South Park annoy Donald Trump?

    Published
    31st July 2025

    This week saw US President Donald Trump visit Scotland, the Lionesses play against Spain in the Euro 2025 final, and the UK get its first female Astronomer Royal.

    But how much attention did you pay to what else happened in the world over the past seven days?

    Quiz collated by George Sandeman and Grace Dean.

    2, and that was tough after getting the first three guesses wrong.

    Enjoy

    Ffs man, another 6, at least this time it was the 4th question I got wrong.

    Knew 4, one was calculated guess :emoticon-0127-lipss, and the last one a wild guess.

    Cheers blondie.

    4/7 I only knew 2 of them
    You can tell that I haven't been keeping up with the news.
    I'm still above average though, even if it's only just :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    The JOE Friday Pub Quiz: week 462

    Charlie Herbert

    This is your Everest
    You’ll be tested—not just on trivia, but on nerve, memory, instinct. This is not about what you half-remember. It’s about what you know—and what you’re willing to fight for at the table.

    You’ll need composure. You’ll need to remember names, dates, titles, capitals – and nuts.

    Some of you are here for a laugh—and that’s fine. But others… I can feel it. You want more. You want victory. You want to win this thing.

    And I’ll be honest with you—it won’t be easy. It’s not meant to be. This isn’t a slow stroll through Sunday afternoon telly. This is a climb. Relentless. Unforgiving. Round after round.

    So I ask you now: Will you rise to the challenge? Will you take the hard route? Will you conquer the quiz?

    Because at the top of this quizzing mountain—there is glory.

    https://www.joe.co.uk/quiz/the-joe-friday-pub-quiz-week-462-497670

    The 50% Guaranteed Quiz. 14, thank goodness for the nuts and Aussie sections <cheers>

    Enjoy
