Bbc Quiz : Week 39

[Buenchico]

Week 39? It can't be! That's three quarters of the way through the year! Where's it all gone?

A middling FOUR out of seven on the adult quiz for me this week

. . . and just as middling in the junior quiz, with THREE out of five

. . . so quite a few of you should beat me easily enough this week, I think. Go on, five it a go!

I don’t want to say ….

Oh, alright then …. I’ll just whisper it.

3 and …. 0.

adults.. 6
kids.. 4

[JJ109]

Not as good as you, Chris!
3 & 2 respectively

I'm always amazed that show-biz garbage gets the coverage it does. I know, excuses, excuses! Only 1/7 in the adult and 2/5 in the junior. I know nothing, Chris!

[Buenchico]

Catching up with all the latecomers . . .

Zero, Naomi? In a quiz designed for kids? Really? I'm not laughing. No, honestly I'm not. (Oops, I nearly choked on my coffee there!).
;-)

At least you achieved the same aggregate as Roo and 10CS, both of whom seem to be a little more childlike than grown up this week ;-)

JJ109 has managed to scrape by with what I think of as 'bare pass marks' in both quizzes, I see ;-)

Welcome to the club, Margo!

Emmie's managed to go one better than me in both quizzes! Well done!

Piggy is a real star though, achieving near perfection not once, but twice! Well done indeed, Piggy!

Very late on parade this week, and i shouldn't have bothered turning up at all. 1/7 and 2/5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know i've done 4 day's work this week and perhaps missed a bit of news, but even my guesses have been affected :-J

[Buenchico]

With luck like that when it comes to guessing, Ken, it might not be too good a day for betting on the horses, I think ;-)

At least you're not alone anyway ;-)

[Ken4155]

Started off with a couple of winners, Chris. Not big prices but money in my pocket instead of the enemy's satchels. Besides which, i like to think my 'guesses' re the gg's are of the 'informed' variety :-))

[1ozzy]

Once again late to the parade.
Thought I may win the wooden spoon this week, alas not.
2/7 2/5 respectively.

[Buenchico]

I often write "Better luck next week!" in response to scores posted here but, if you're after the wooden spoon, perhaps I'd better make that "Worse luck next week!" in your case, 1ozzy?

;-)

I need some new wooden spoons Chris, and I hate spending money.
Must be the Scots part of my genes.
