Bbc Quiz : Week 13 . . .

[Buenchico]

. . . or Week 12A if you're superstitious ;-)

Can it really be Friday again?

Oh well, here we go again then!

A reasonable start for me this week, with FIVE out of seven on the main quiz:

The junior one seemed fairly straightforward too this week. FOUR out of five for me:

I couldn’t reach half marks in the timed quiz though. Just FOUR out of ten for me:

A lot of people had some really low scores last week, including quite a few zeros. (One of which was mine, in the kids’ quiz too!). However I’m expecting to see some far better scores in general this week. So how will YOU do?

[Mozz71]

Matched your total Chris, but with a slightly different point spread.

4/7
5/5
4/10.

Head boy at least!

[Sam1960]

Evening Chris.
middle of the road scores this week

4/7

3/5

5/10

Hope this finds you well ; ))

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the 13 Club, Mozz! (13 points on Week 13? Shouldn't we now throw over our shoulders, or something similar, to undo all the bad luck that's otherwise bound to bring us?)

Good evening, Sam. I'm fine thanks. (I'm always feeling good when there's a cat on my knee, as there is right now!). I hope that you're well too.

As I've probably said before, your scores are like my body shape: big around the middle ;-)

[wolf63]

I got three out of seven for the first one.

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Susan.

I always think of 3 out of 7 as a 'bare pass' mark which, at least, is better than a 'failure' ;-)

I hope that the weather has improved a bit up there in haggis land ;-)

[hellywelly4]

2, 1, 3. Well I haven’t been very well…..

[cashier]

Four and five for me.

[tonyav]

Ah well, another bad week for me. 2/7, 4/5 and 4/10.

[cashier]

Five in the timed. Good job the football question was in all three.

[Buenchico]

The same aggregate as me on the first two then, Cashier, but a perfect kid, I see!

Keep taking the tablets, HW4 ;-)
(and get well soon, of course!)

[Buenchico]

Well done on just edging ahead of me then, Cashier ;-)
(Having the same question turn up in more than one quiz doesn't always seem to help me much. I can still keep getting it wrong!)

At least you avoided any complete disasters, Tony ;-)
(I'll be joining you in that beer that I know that you're going to have - just as soon as I can persuade this cat to get off my knee!)

[tonyav]

(I'll be joining you in that beer that I know that you're going to have - just as soon as I can persuade this cat to get off my knee!)

To right, Chris ( send the cat to get it for you ) ;-)

[Buenchico]

It's the other way around with cats, Tony. Humans can't get them to do things at all but they're great at getting humans to do things for them ;-)

[tonyav]

Yep I know, Chris ( manipulative little gits ).

[Patsy33]

Hi Buen :-)

[campbellking]

4/7,4/5,4/10. I like consistency like Robbie likes a warm lap.

[Buenchico]

4, 3, 2, Patsy? With that trend, it's lucky that there weren't a few more quizzes, otherwise your scores would have gone negative ;-)

Consistent indeed, Campbellking . . . and quite good too ;-)
My darling Moonbeam, who seems to have spent much of his life feeling bullied and insecure (even though he's actually the one who strikes out with his claws first), has really grown in self-confidence lately and is now contentedly sleeping on my knee. (Overcoming his anxiety seems to have improved his general condition too. He used to be very skinny, with quite a thin coat, but I've now nicknamed him 'Fluff-podge' because he's solidly built with a lovely thick and fluffy coat). I put the improvement down to this stuff, which isn't cheap but is certainly worth the money, in my opinion!

[Milo2]

3, 4 and 4 this week.

[Buenchico]

Not too bad this week then, Milo2 ;-)

[zebo]

2, 2, 3 Not a good week, the children's quiz was helped by the adults re the Oscars!
