Bbc Quiz : Week 1

[Buenchico]

Good evening, all!

I hope that you've not put on too much weight over the Christmas period and that at least one or two of you still have a few New Year's resolutions which are yet still unbroken 😀

There's just the main quiz this week, as there's no junior one.  (I'm hoping that's just because CBBC's Newsround programme has been taking a Christmas break, rather than the quiz disappearing altogether).

It might be a new year but nothing much seems to have changed for me, as I scored my regular FOUR out of seven once again:

Can you do better?

Hi Chris thought I'd give you a chance this week 3/7.

I haven't gained or lost any weight, went on scales today, but the escaping brain cells might account for that.

[10ClarionSt]

5/7 but a couple of guesses in there. I know nothing - especially about r appers!😁

[10ClarionSt]

Rappers, even!

[kwillmott]

Back to normal

1/7

 

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the club, 1581960!

Most of my 'little grey cells' (as Poirot would term them) ceased functioning several decades ago, Arky!

[Buenchico]

Well done, 10CS!

You're out in the lead!

 

Oops, Kwillmott!

At least there's plenty of scope for improvement in the weeks to come 😊

[Arksided]

Shh no-one has noticed 😉

[Moorea7]

Good Evening😊  Score 3/7 - not great.  Was careful re weight!

Hope 2024 will be a good year for you.

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Moorea7!

Only one point difference between us, I see.  You'll probably surpass my score next week anyway, I think.

I hope that you've had a good start to 2024 and that the year will continue to go well for you!

[Sam1960]

Evening Chris.

 

2/7   could've been worse I suppose   !!

 

Hope this finds you well  ; ))

[Redhelen72]

5/7 not too shabby 

[bookbinder]

Snap! Buenchico! I also scored four out of seven. Oh, well, must try harder (as my school teachers said).

[Buenchico]

Well done, Red!  Joint leader!

 

Welcome to the club, Bookbinder!
(I always tried to come up with something original on the school reports that I wrote!)

 

Hi, Sam!

I see that you're leaving yourself scope for improvement in the coming weeks 😊

I'm still doing well for an old 'un, thank you.  
(I hope that you're well too!)

[Buenchico]

Hi, Scorpiojo!

Well done on taking the joint lead!

[jourdain2]

Oh dear!  Things can only get better.  🤣    3/7  Hppy New Year to anyone I've missed.  

[roopower]

Happy new year, chico. I don't make new year resolutions so I don't have anything to break! 

You've beaten me this week as I only got 3. Must try harder next week. 

[Buenchico]

>>> "Things can only get better"

Er, can I remind you of that when you score 0, 1 or 2 next week then, Jourdain2?  😉

 

[Buenchico]

Hi, Roo!

My only resolution for the new year is to stop procrastinating so much - but I've not got around to putting it into effect yet 😀

Happy New Year - but please don't beat me too often in 2024, will you? 😉
