Greetings, everyone!

A decent enough (in my opinion) FIVE out of seven for me in the main quiz this week:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-65040607

Aunty Beeb seems to have got her knickers in a twist with the junior quiz this week. She's published last week's one again by mistake! So we can't all prove how childlike we are this week :-(

Here's a quiz on British scientific discoveries, taken from BBC Bitesize (which is primarily targeted at GCSE students) to make up for it though:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zn2chbk
(TEN out of ten for me - which only goes to show how easy it is, I think!)

A decent enough (again, in my opinion) SIX out of ten for me in the Timed Teaser this week:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65015765

So that's an aggregate score of 21 for you all to beat. I know that Lie-in King will (because he always does!) but what about the rest of you?

I hang my head in shame. 3 out of 7! Pass the sackcloth and ashes!
Good Evening, Chris!
Sad to see no junior quiz this week - might have boosted my score!
5/7 on main
6/10 on bitesize
8/10 on timed :-) Yay! My best ever score on this one!
Still not enough to beat you overall this week.
Well done on that 10/10 - very impressive!
Hope you and kitties have a fun packed week :-)

Well, it's a 'pass mark', at least, Bookbinder ;-)

Very well done with that impressive 8/10, Karamia!
(I'd have kicked myself if I got less than 10 in the science-based quiz. I did teach the subject, alongside maths, afer all!)

The kitties always seem to have a fun-packed week (where 'fun' usually involves annoying their tame human in some way). I'll just settle for a bit of peace and quiet in my week ;-)

I hope that you have a good week too!
Four on the news quiz and six on the timed.
And an almight ten on the bite sized.

Just back from helping one of grandsons celebrate his 18th and i don't know if the half dozen pints of Tetley Smooth helped or hindered my thinking?
Evening Chris.

Hope this finds you well ; ))
5/7

6/10

Well done, Kwillmott! Solid scores throughout this week!

Hiya, Patsy. Some respectable scores there, I see!

You need addled thinking to even contemplate drinking Tetley Smooth in the first place, I reckon, Ken ;-)
[Mind you, it's probably still quite a bit better than what me and my mates would have been drinking at parties when we were 18 years old: https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/NINTCHDBPICT000496712877.jpg ]

Well done on achieving impressive scores throughout this week, anyway!
Didn't have much of a choice, Chris, it was either Tetley or draught Pilsner. Or, even worse, bottled beer.
4, 10 and 8. I knew all the science ones but a few guesses in the timed.
Question Author
Wow! I've finally matched (but still not beaten) Lie-in King's scores for once! Welcome to the club - three times over - Lie-in King!

Hi Sam! Well done with that 8/10!
(Yes, I'm well, thanks. as I hope that you are too).
To celebrate his 18th with his first LEGAL drink, my grandson had...................................................................a glass of water. I'm now almost totally convinced he's not one of mine. Apparently, he's in training for a charity boxing match. Wimp!
Question Author
I'm rather fond od some of the better draught Pilsner beers, Ken - and some of the very best beers come in bottles nowadays!

Ruddy 'eck, Milo2! I finally match the mighty Lie-in King's scores and then you go and beat both of us! WELL DONE INDEED!
I think I'm getting worse (blame Shingles).
2/7 10/10 6/10 So that is 18 in aggregate.
Question Author
I've just checked the pictures from my grandson's 18th last month, Ken, and I don't think that he was drinking water ;-)

[Mind you, he's one of the best young rugby players in the country. Rugby just seems to go with beer, doesn't it?]

Question Author
Welcome to the Terrific Ten club, anyway, Jourdain2 ;-)

[Get well soon!]
