It Aint Gonna Be Hard . . .

[Buenchico]

. . . to beat me this week (but when is it ever?)

Just 2 out of 7 for me:

Surely you can all do better than that, can't you?

[ummmm]

4

[tonyav]

2 for me to, Chris.

[Mamyalynne]

5/7, quite pleased with that.

[Buenchico]

Well done, Ummmm. A lot better than me!

It's nice to have some company, Tony ;-)

[Sam1960]

A respectful 4/7 for me.

[Buenchico]

Ooh! Who's a brainbox then, Mamya!

Well done!

[Buenchico]

Hi Sam.

Another one twice as good as me!

[marval]

4/7 so not too bad or me.

[Buenchico]

Another one twice as good as me!

Well done, Marval!

[Calicogirl]

1 out of 7- awful- and that was a guess. Mind you I've been busy lately so not had much catch up time with the news, but still pretty pitiful :(

[Lie-in King]

5/7 this week.

[Buenchico]

I feel a bit better about my own score now Calicogirl ;-)

(I'm also using 'being pretty busy lately' as an excuse for a pathetic performance. I've had 7 or 8 hours of motorway driving each day for the past few days, so I've been listening to Classic FM - which only has the news headlines occasionally - rather than reading the BBC News site. That's my excuse and I'm darned well sticking to it!!!)

[Buenchico]

I'm beginning to think that there's a correlation between being good at cryptic crosswords and being good at the BBC Quiz of the Week, Lie-in-King! (In which case, since I'm rubbish at cryptic crosswords, I probably shouldn't be doing this every Friday!)

Well done!

[Caran]

2/7 again.

[ChillDoubt]

3.....and even those were guesses.

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the club, Caran ;-)

[Buenchico]

3 is still 50% better than my score, Chilldoubt! (I was guessing throughout as well).

[Cloverjo]

4, but they were guesses. I hadn’t read any of those in the news.

[wolf63]

I got four right.

I actually posted stories about the two animals during the week.

My boy is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, I bet his uncle Andrew doesn't even send him a card. :-(

[Buenchico]

Double my score then, Cloverjo!

I'd read one or two of the stories but, for example, I thought that the bear had curled up inside a wardrobe, so I (incorrectly) selected 'bedroom' as my answer for that question.
