Bbc Quiz : Week 27

[Buenchico]

Good evening, yet again!

I could only manage a somewhat-less-than-magnificent score of ONE out of seven this week - and that was a guess!

I did no better in the kids' quiz either, with just ONE out of five:

I achieved partial redemption in the Timed Teaser though, with SIX out of ten this week:

With my lousy aggregate of just 8 points, I can't see anyone at all doing worse than me this week! Your turn, anyway!

Could have been worse....

4, 3 and 4 this week. As Rowan says, it could have been worse, particularly as there were quite a few guesses.

Not much better Chris. 1/7 and 3/5. I knew the NHS one cos I was born in July 1948, as mentioned on here t'other day. I was one of the first NHS babies! As it happens, I was visiting someone in NMGH on Wednesday when the staff brought round a trolley with cakes on to celebrate the 75th birthday of the NHS. I told them that I had been born there in July 1948. Well, I was treated like a celebrity, photos on Twitter with the staff. Happy days! :o)

Good morning. Late reporting for duty today. I'm afraid I've beaten you this week but I have to confess half of it was down to good guessing. 4,4,7, happy with that!

Hi Chris. Thank you:-)

[Arksided]

Much better than last weeks offering.

Main: 5/7
Jnr: 5/5
Timed: 6/10

[Arksided]

Wow just looking at others scores. The benefit of Housesitting for a few days, keeping up to speed with the news.

1/10

[maggiebee]

Obviously didn't pay attention to the news this week!

Main 3/7
Kids 2/5
Timed 2/10

[Buenchico]

Wow! A lot of latecomers this week! (More still welcome though, of course).

Thank you, Kwillmott and Maggie for allowing me to beat you this week. I don't feel so bad now ;-)

10CS wasn't exactly flying along either. I'll just put it down to an excess of NHS celebratory cake though ;-)

Rocky's aggregate of 9 might not be that great but it still beats my lousy 8 anyway!

Well done, Rowanwitch, on beating me easily with your aggregate scores of 11 each this week.

Congratulations, Roo, on that very impressive aggregate score of 15! Well done!

Arky must have been very bored with all that housesitting though, as he appears to have done absolutely nothing all week apart from hunting down the most obscure news stories on the BBC website. Very well done indeed on taking the lead with your magnificent 16 points, Arky!
