Bbc Quiz : Week 41

[Buenchico]

Good evening, all!

 

I hope that everyone here is well!

 

I started off with a ‘middling’ score of FOUR out of seven this week in the main quiz

. . . but I could only manage TWO out of five in the junior one:

You can do better than that though, can’t you?

 

[Buenchico]

There's a lot to be said for being childlike, I reckon, Kwillmott!

;-)

[Caran]

2/7, 2/5.at least I'm consistent!

[Buenchico]

You've been consistently avoiding any really disastrous scores for many week now too, Caran.  Perhaps a real triumph is on the cards for you soon?  I hope so!

[Cloverjo]

Only 2 and 3. 
Stupidly, I got the kids' question about the bears wrong even though I'd read the story in the paper and then there was the question in the main quiz. 
 

[Buenchico]

I have days like that too, Clover ;-)

Thanks for joining in, anyway!

[Ken4155]

[elliemay1]

^ got the bear qn wrong too!

[Buenchico]

Hi, Ken!

If you can't tell your marrow from your carrots, I'm not coming to your restaurant!

Well done on taking the lead!

 

You beat me, anyway, Elliemay1!

[Ken4155]

Chris, my excuse is, i think i may have heard that report on the radio while i was in the kitchen rustling up some scran. From that distance, carrots and marrars sounded the same 😉

[Buenchico]

^^^ I'm told that you can get hearing aids in SpecSavers these days, Ken 😊

[JJ109]

Snap, Chris!

4 & 2 respectively

[Buenchico]

We're clearly a perfect match, JJ109!  

When shall we set a date for our wedding?

😊

 

[Arksided]

Main 4/7.

[Buenchico]

Snap, Arky!

[10ClarionSt]

Uh oh! 3/7 and 2/5. I'm on my way to the back, Chris!

Good morning. Hope all is well in the land of chico.Yipee, 6 for the first quiz, 2 for the kids - got confused over the bears! We're still fighting the Superflea and its hotting up. Treatment on prescription from the vet and it had better work. We're on our third bottle of spray for the house. In all the 20 odd years we've had cats, including strays, we've never had fleas before. Vet said it's been a good year for them, not sure good is a word I would use! 

[Buenchico]

Hi, 10CS.

You're only one point below me, so it can't be too bad really, can it? 🙂

 

Hiya, Roo!

Well done indeed with that impressive 6/7!

The flea situation seems to be the other way around here.  This is the first year where my three seem to be reasonably clear of them as the warmer weather comes to an end.  I've totally given up on the 'spot on' treatments, as it was taking me several weeks to catch each cat.  Hiding crushed up (over-the-counter) flea tablets in their food seems to be working far better for me.

That technique didn't work with the worming tablets I tried to give them all a few days ago though.  They simply turned their noses up at the expensive food I'd added the crushed tablets to and walked away.  (So that was twenty quid's worth of worming tablets wasted). 

I'm now going to try them with some different tablets, that are meant to be meat-flavoured, hidden in some freshly-cooked beef mince in Bisto.  I hope that it will work as, at twenty quid a bash, it's getting rather expensive to treat them!
