blonde poker forum

There are 13 questions, PM your answers to me by midnight on Monday May 25th.  Each answer is to be on a different line with corresponding question number.

Reveal will be Tuesday May 26th starting at 19.30.

Your score for each question is number of people who give the same correct answer. So you want to go for answers that you think will be less commonly given. Levelling commonly happens. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.

You are not allowed to do research such as Google searches to come up with answers.  I have ways of knowing, so be careful if you intend to break this rule!!!

If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive the sheep score + one half the number of distinct correct answers given, rounded up.

You MUST pass on one, and only one, question and score a 0 for that question.  Objections must be accompanied by proof (links) or they will be ignored.

All are welcome to enter this week and previous winners must nominate a new QM.  

Any questions, post in this thread.



1.  Name one of the current top 10 countries for total rice consumption  

2.  Name a county in Ireland starting with the letter 'L'

3.  Name a fast food chain which was founded in the UK  (Fast food = no table service)

4.  Name a vegetable that can be bought as 1 loose item in Sainsbury's

5.  Name a state in America starting with the letter 'M'

6.  Name a character from Father Ted

7.  Name a breed of Spaniel

8.  Name one of the top 10 topic starters on the Blonde forum

9.  Name a popular mixed drink with Bacardi in it (If I haven't heard of it - it's a fail!)

10.  Name a famous person who's been sent to prison.    

11.  Name an Avenue which runs through New York City

12.  Name a Rugby team that has won the Heineken Cup

WTF have I done?

;hide;

 ;applause;


[ X ] Excellent RSQ questions
[   ] Other QM's have have had good questions
[   ] They've never made a farce of the marking/reveal

so glad I went with public opinion and squeezed my quiz in so that we could go ahead with thursday reveals

[ ] wp dawn

If ya want to wait the whole week for the next one, that's grand too.  Majority vote and I'll change it.

farce. already doubting yourself, this lot'll eat you alive if you show any weakness. stick with your decision. change it to thursday ffs. when is it? can we have the reveal tonight? actually, wednesday would be good, I can play whilst watching the apprentice

rotflmfao

Bite me!  It's happening on Monday for sure now.  Voting closed and have a nice day!

so when do we have to get answers in by now you've moved the bloody reveal

and having it on a bank holiday monday? ? ? are you sure

The reveal is on Tuesday at 19:30 as stated in OP.  The entries must be sent in by midnight on Monday night as stated in OP.

Disregard any later posts where I attempted to placate your kind self.  From here on out, I've got me whip!

Is Q3 a trick question ... We are struggling to come up with ONE !!

the clue is in the question fast food=no table service

I'm going for Boots

and what do you mean 'we'? collusion alert mrs qm

So it has to.

a. serve food
b. have more than one outlet
c. have been founded in the UK and
d. have no table service
e. (common sense) not come under some other category e.g. supermarket

If it meets these criteria can I take it that my answer won't be a fail?

Not a trick question.  Go in.  Order food at counter.  Take it away or to a table of your choosing.  And founded in the UK.  Supermarket chains will be a fail!

Cant wait for the reveal !!

Jim's cafe FTW, there must be a couple of those in the UK

And if she fails it you only have to provide an internet link to prove that

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=Hon&q=jims+cafe&btnG=Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK|countryGB

Question 10 ...  Define "Famous"

and prove they're all owned by the same person, otherwise it's not a chain.

Its up to the QM to prove that they arent ;)

[  ] true
[  ] that approach always works

ooh, I know this one. based on previous rsqs it means a random googled person that I've never heard of

does it have to be in new york or just passing through?

famous,who went to prison?or certain criminals become famous/infamous?

sent anyway

I don't even know any counties in Ireland, yet alone one starting with L.

She just struggles with English, I think she means in New York.

I thought of one.  then realised it's table service.  bloody farce, grumble grumble

Spearmints?

I am openly admitting to googling Q3

I will obv be passing on that question ... and having seen the answers, (of which one is wrong) anyone who gets a right answer cheated, it is as clear cut as that.

I don't think you'll be the only one passing Kev!

Q3 is utterly utterly ridiculous. There is no correct answer as far as I can tell as the fast food outlets are all American owned from Subway to KFC to McDonalds, and furthermore Supermarket chains are not allowed


I take it I am allowed to enter this one?

 ;carlocitrone;

I can only think of a few but with so many people struggling I'm considerably less concerned about getting a sheep answer now.

am I allowed to ask an irish person in the pub tomorrow about the county question?

I think Q3 is easy and can think of multiple answers.


ready for quoatation when i fail

is pizza fast food?

entered the farce

i would say not.  the definition of fast food surely is that it's ready prepared?  Pizzas are made to order.

I'm pretty sure Laxie has given her definition of what constitutes fast food

lol soz, my mistake, I was talking about the actual definition of fast food :D

so the problem is, the only ones I can think of are pizza but that's clearly not fast food. but then it might be fast food under laxie's definition. so do I go for an answer that's clearly wrong on the basis that the qm doesn't understand her own question or do I pass?

Nope - I have an answer, it's not googled, and it's correct.

love it - such a farce already!!! ;D

Anyway, my answers are in.

Started sending answers .... got question 1 ...

Got to Question 2, there are 5 possible answers FFS ... and I need my pass for the ridic Q3.

Added to the farce that is the Bacardi question, and the judging criteria etc etc

I refuse to enter this quiz on the grounds that it has seriously sent me on life tilt !!

I agree with Kev, these questions are ludicrous

any chance you could pm me 1 you're not using? I ain't got a clue. also don't know any bacardi based drinks, know nothing about new york streets and am guessing when it comes to club rugby. add in the farce that is q3 and I may have to pass more than I did on joobie's farce

The question specifically states 'Name an Avenue which runs through New York City'  So yes, it has to be in NYC or it will be a FAIL!




Famous:  Well known.  In the public eye.





Famous first.  Sent to prison after.  Sigh.




Surely someone with your level of intelligence will have read and understood the OP where it clearly states, 'All are welcome to enter this week'.  Granted, it wasn't on google, so I suppose I can understand how you may have missed it.  




WIMP!  

The judging criteria set in place for the Bacardi question is to prevent obscure and obviously googled answers.  

As for the UK Food Chain...it's your feckin country FFS!!!  How can you not come up with one?!  That question's a stroke of genius me tinks.  

You have the week-end to send them in, so take your time.  And for the record, I will not penalise anyone for spelling errors on the Irish counties one as long as it's reasonably close.

I can spell the one I'm going to enter with - but for those that need it, does "reasonably close" include being spelt phonetically (as long as you can work out which county it's meant to be)?

just copy my spelling when you're nicking my answers :D

[  ] I am sure my spelling is right

Yes

includes asking randoms in pubs imo

I know two.  I might sell you the one I haven't used.

Searching out an Oirishman means he's not random.

asking irishmen doesn't really fit into 'such as google searches' though does it. I mean, an irishman and google are about as opposite as you can get

I'm away next week, so I'd like to object to question 3 and 9 in advance please.

There is so much room for debate and objections with this lot of questions, couldn't you think of any proper ones?

Bearing in mind how I dealt with your objections, I fear I have no chance of getting a reversal from you. Is it even worth entering I wonder.

But I'm the QM so I'll allow it.

I will treat everyone equal.  Even if they've been utterly disgraceful in their own attempts as QM

wiiiii, I'm also going to find a rugby fan, a new yorker and ask the barmaid about bacardi

Pointless, Laxie might not have heard of it.

true, I'll just go for neat bacardi then. that's probs how she drinks it anyway

lmao - utter farce!  In that case may I please withdraw all my answers so I can ask my clever friends before resubmitting!?!?

but you do that every week anyway and every week we tell you to get your own answers

I wish I did - I might have won one by now :(

[ ] this could be my week

Trust me...if his local barmaid knows about it, then I've deffo heard of it.  I'm usually teaching them what goes into drinks FFS!

My friend owns a franchise to a fast food company .. UK as well... Would be surprised if anyone has heard of it.  But  there are lots around so mayeb I am wrong...  Funny thing is...  people ask him what he does...  Restaurant Manager for International company... lol..

PS I tended bar for a living in the States.  Trust me.  There isn't much I haven't heard of.

You prob already seen my answer, dont reckon many Yanks know of it lol

Sent.

I'm sure my poor form in these of late is just variance (I've been like some sort of sheep-divining maniac - think KP on speed...). I feel I have a good set of answers here and am preparing my questions in readiness.

Sent

Usually I aim for lower upper table results, this week I think lower middle/ approaching bottom, is the best I can hope for.

That UK fast food question is either genius, or utterly stupid (no offence meant), I'll decide which after the reveal xx

Feeling confident about this week.

[  ] Confident I'm going to win.
[ x ] Confident that no-one will believe I know my Irish counties legitemately.

;D  Same here.  would just like to say beforehand that I went out with an Irishman for 3 years and have been to said place.  Do I sound too defensive?

Mine was a stab in the dark and according to Kev it's a 'potential' fail - which is kinda ok as I really don't want to win one of these, I just enjoy playing them. 

Only Potential because of the farceness of the questionmaster.

Irish county 26 or 32

lol

that is all

In the country of Ireland, name a county starting with the letter 'L'.  Sigh.  You, of all people, should have found this to be the easiest question of the lot FFS!   rotflmfao

depends on your politcal persuasion

why on earth would you expect people to know the counties of a foreign country? I'd be good if the question referred to any country I've lived in but for random other country, no

There was a RSQ QM from Eire
Who thought that her questions were fair.....

;whistle;

The question wasn't Name a county in Eire that begins with "L" ...

EPIC EPIC FARCE !!!

The question is very straight forward and without political debate.  So stop moaning!

name a county in venezuela is also very straight forward but just as bad a question for rsq. DUCY?

I have entered. stop I will have a nasty turn. stop Dawn is a nutter. stop

Sorry to hear you're having problems gatso, why not write a poem about your troubles?

Oh and am I allowed to say that a quiz with drink,Ireland,Rugby,food,prison and dogs is right up my street-- but its still a fecking farce

I'm not having problems, I'm allowed to ask people in the pub for answers. not much material for a poem in that I'm afraid, I need real adversity to get the creative juices running

I'm sure you could squeeze 5 lines out of it at least.

joke sooooo last season page....... :D

yeah, in fairness matt did beat you to it

My bad, I missed Matt doing it first.

Sent. Will probably miss most of the reveal :(

And received.  TY   ;D

Sent ...... with explanation attached to Q3 lol

Can only think of 2 but one is not counter service (or wasn't/majority are not) so went with the other one.

Kicking myself on the rugby one - put my old team I used to suport (or rather we used as an excuse to have regular beano days out for) but not sure if they have actually won the cup  :dontask:

All will be revealed on Tuesday night.  But I will say this...you deffo got a better score than you did on the last quiz.   rotflmfao

Busy Tuesday, can someone do me a favour and shout farce a lot plz

tyvm

You sure?



 rotflmfao rotflmfao

Pretty sure they can handle that for you. 

And yes Mich, deffo sure.  I think.

Uh oh, submitted. But I thought by "ireland" you meant the island. Oh dear.

ps. what is a 'vegetable'?

Question 12.

Anyone brave enough to put down someone who hasn't but might today and then be prepared to shout farce when they do and its disallowed becouse they did before Dawn said they should.

# edible seeds or roots or stems or leaves or bulbs or tubers or nonsweet fruits of any of numerous herbaceous plant


The 14th Heineken Cup final will be played on Saturday, 23 May, 2009 (Kick-off 5pm) - the second time European club rugby's final will be staged in the Scottish capital.

Sigh. 

[ ] planned that question well

Possible freebie for some of you.  However, one of the two teams has never won it before, so you'd best not pick them as it happened 'after the fact'.  You have been warned.

PS  Predicting WAR with question 4   rotflmfao

Farce Q4 differs from the rest of the Farce Q's how exactly?

I think my answer is genius. Risking a fail but will be objecting vociferously if it does get failed !!!

Will you be here for the reveal?

Sent FML yet again.

Yep :D I think there may be a difference between one loose item and "one loose item"

Does it have to be something I can buy single, loose, without having it weighed?

For the Ireland question, can I resubmit a new answer now that we've changed from "Ireland" to "the country of Ireland"?

Don't ask for clarification that may make already submitted answers, a fail! (save that for the farce reveal...)

Laxie asked for a 1 single item, she didn't specify whether they then needed weighing or not. Loose is loose.

Entered, with accompanying explanations of my thought process where necessary

???

type "counties of ireland" into google and submit answer?

;whistle;

I feel like I've just got back from a rare shopping trip having ignored all your orders on the way out and come back with the wrong stuff again :D :D :D

think it's going to be the 'vegetable' bit that will cause problems.

[X] Matt and I have compared our answers
[  ] Matt's answer to Q4 is a vegetable

:D

I'm thinking matt's grasp of english is somewhat limited. he didn't know what a soap opera was last quiz

What is Ireland - if it isn't the country of Ireland?

an island split into the north and the republic. both the island and the country use the same name. if it was republic specific then question would've specified republic of ireland surely

Wiki list counties in Ireland as

Ireland & Northern Ireland

neither of them starts with L

This RSQ is a farce
on the questions I'm going to pass
For JUSTICE you know
It should have been Crow
You can stick this one right up yer arse


:) :) :)

Saves me scoring one that won't win anyway!   ;nanana;

Hopefully

Hopefully not

After reading your answers....that's the one I'm going with.   rotflmfao

not to mention the suffix debacle!

At least the RSQ is back on course.  Ambiguity and farcicity FTW.

;mexicanwave;

Going off previous RSQs, you expect the questions to be non-ambiguous and non-controversial?

If in doubt, play it safe.

funny how when i wondered about my answer the first two sites i looked at said my answer was a vegetable. When we compared answers you looked at 2 sites and 2 online dictionaries and they confirmed the same.

as for the soap operas it all depends on your definition, same characters appearing week in week out sometimes with the stories continuing from one episode to the next - not much difference between a soap opera and a sitcom......... (to be honest my watching of animals in soap operas usually ends when i used to turn over coronation street during the opening credits with the cat sitting on the back alley wall!)

[ ] they sure did

err, no it doesn't. frasier is never a soap opera

looking forward to seeing your definition of a vegetable

Cheers

Taxi!

Don't listen to the haters Matt.

The essence of tyranny is the denial of complexity. Works of art, be they paintings, songs or television programmes cannot be categorised and genre-alised as they were some sort of 1,2 di-menthyl octane or whatever.

In the absolute sense, there is no such thing as the Renaissance, Brit-Pop or the situation comedy.

That being said, you were still totally wrong. Eddie, a soap opera dog, com'on to fuck man. Eat some real biscuits

 ;tightend; ;tightend;

LOL Dawn, gr8 job as QM hun, my answers are in, gawd help me!!

i cannot help it if people are jealous of my unique powers of the mind ;D

What, if anything, including 1,2 di-menthyl octane cigarettes, can be categorised in an absolute sense?

I demand a full essay on this cos I read it at 1 am and it kept me awake wondering

If I had won, a star trek question was going to be

Name an element thats a gas and a crystal that powers the warp drive of Star fleet engines

Answer  Di-Lithium

Sent, sigh

And gave me a giggle too.   :)up

how long 'til entries close?

Midnight tomorrow night.  Reveal on Tuesday night. 

Thank your lucky stars I am in a hotel in Notts on Tuesday night ....  If i dont go out on the piss, I will have to get net access because this could just be the farce to end all farces :D :D :D

so not midnight monday as stated in op? thought as much. bloody farce. what hope have we got when the qm doesn't even know how clocks work

You've already had a go about timings on the first place. I trust this QM to get it right. Whilst I'm at it, you talked about getting back to Thursday reveals, if you check your RSQ history, the idea was to sort out the whole thing in less than a week so, again, she's doing right!

Sigh.  Just wait til you see yer scores!   rotflmfao

And Robert...no Stars transfer required now.   ;D


Please go out.  That is all.  

? ? ? what you talkin' about willis?

op states midnight monday which is in about 2 hours, now it turns out she meant tomorrow night. that is farceness of the highest degree. you trust someone who can't tell the time to run a quiz? and let's not forget that she's from another time zone so the quiz will probs be 7.30 new york time or something. ffaarrccee

QM had already answered your semantic gripe

QFT fail


english language fail

can we do the reveal now? I'm bored

Showing all the signs of it.  And no!

Last day to get your answers in.  Closing it at midnight tonight!  Will need all of tomorrow to get the scores sorted and my arguments for the fails in place. rotflmfao

OK, I had a change of personality yesterday, prompted by the thought that if I supported the QM I would get some credit with objections. I am recovering and, after researching one of my answers, the only way I am getting any objections through will be brute force. It's going to be one hell of a farce tomorrow.

Yeah.  [ ] Good luck with that   ;D

All through my life I have had a notion of when i am fecked.

it's carried me through a lot of situations.

so it's official.

i am fecked.

but I have a plan

Oh gawd!  It's never good when you're involved in planning. 

27 entered so far and they're the line up from hell for a QM.  Anyone who would like to be the icing on their cake has just over an hour to submit your answers.

My plan is

1. I do not exist
2. If I did I would not go near this forum
3. Farce is my middle name
4. Qm is a nutter
5. All alien life exists
6. The earth is flat
7. My left testicle is a vegetable (prove otherwise)
8. America suks
9. I have met David Icke
10. get ready for some huge denials tomorrow

Oh and have a nice day

Someone's had a few (gallons) tonight.   :cheers: rotflmfao

5 minutes and counting people.  Can't wait to start tallying up the fails scores.

advance objection to anyone who gets a 'correct' answer for question 3 - either wrong or cheating imo!!!!

That one is going to be a bit tricky TBH.  [ ] So glad I thought of that question.

gtfo. if my q3 is a fail I'll be fuming

google cheating gripe.

Not sure as I'm not looking at the answers this minute, but have a fire extinguisher handy...just in case.

CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


See you all tomorrow night for the reveal at 7:30pm

+1

I put yam yam to go

Went there the other day, they got a branch at Luton airport.
They're not too big at the moment, but I reckon they're going to take off (no pun intended) at some point soon.

Seeing as entries are closed, can I start the discussion on the UK fastfood question now ??

[ ] You chose well.


Please do!  Ensures I can't allow late entries.

we need confirmation on whether late entries will be allowed

I just fired str8 in.

Who asks QMs permission? honestly, amaturs

Right here is the wiki list

United Kingdom

    * Bagel Nash
    * Bella Italia
    * Chicken Cottage
    * Dixy Chicken
    * EasyPizza
    * Favorite Chicken
    * Little Chef
    * Millie's Cookies
    * Pizza Express
    * Pret a Manger
    * Prezzo (restaurant)
    * Shakeaway
    * Spud U Like
    * Square Pie
    * Strada
    * Wrapid


Little Chef ... WTF they take your order at the table ...  as for the rest LOL just LOL if anyone has an answer from that list (pret a Manger apart) and tries to claim they didnt google

There are more possible answers than just those on the list you've posted.  I will allow objections from participants if they notice I've incorrectly given a pass to someone who has obviously failed.  It ain't gonna be pretty. 

I'd not be too suspicious of Dixy Chicken. There are loads of them about.
If anyones got any of the others then well played googled

Bella Italia, Prezzo, Little Chef and Pizza Express are all table service, obv.  And since when do cookies count as fast food ffs?!?!  The only one of those I would accept that hadn't been googled is spud u like.

If a chain means more than 2 shops then there are loads more that do not appear on the wiki list.

Wiki will NOT be the deciding factor on much of anything tomorrow night.  Be warned. 

spudulike was my 2nd choice and def not googled. I turned it down in favour of my actual non googled answer (not on that list)

we actually had a discussion about this question round the table at Luton tonight, and the only valid answers anyone could come up with were spud u like and dixy chicken (although I've never heard of 'em, and if I had wouldn't know they were UK founded).

Is the Tastie Tattie just an Aberdeen thing?

I resemble that remark

Prior warning

Little Chef is a definite fail- table service


Prior warning x 2

Aubergines and Avocados are fruits.

So are a few more you didn't mention.  This will be fun.  WTF have I got meself in to?!   ;scarymoment;

Only got yourself to blame with ambiguously worded and poor quality questions

Whoever chose you is pants

Your questions were pants


The reveal should be a right laugh, probalby setting new objection, page count and farce records

Oooooh Sharpleaaaaaaaaaaa....Jooooooooooobieeeeeeeeeee........................

I predict scoring hell.  Wanna have fun with me?   ;whistle; rotflmfao

just posting a couple of links here so they're nice and handy for tomorrow night.  Got a feeling I might be using them a bit...

(http://www.thetanooki.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/071130objection.jpg)

Pre-emptive objections

the question did not specify Rep Of Ireland only. A bit like the Irish rugby team therefore it has to apply to N Ireland too

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Ireland. Londonderry is listed

However http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derry-Londonderry_name_dispute. This muddies the water but just because Laxie is married to Republican stock does not mean she should disregard the Unionist view here

On behalf of Claw, Londonderry is valid



You can also see a huge amount of Little Chef discussion..formats, rollouts, menus etc here

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Chef-The-Official-Page/35537563147

Controversy reigns

eg

Kai Robinson  hey little chef ive been trawling the internet for months to find a large fat charlie teddy or toy, and i cant find one any were infct come to think of it i cant find any little chef merchandise at all, how come you have no fat chalie memorobilla? every time i go to little chef (wich is alot) i get a little fat charlie coockie but im desperate to find a teddy can u help???


ps Little Chef do table service, its a fail

I put Dixy Chicken and it is UK founded.   And not googled either ...

a) it's a Halal fast food 'chain' - most muslim families (esp ones from Barking/Ilford) will know this   ;D
2) It's HQ was 5 mins away from where I used to live in Edmonton


Wimpey was the only other one I could think of but that was/is mainly table service so stuck with Dixy.

OMG Objection must surely be a fail..!!  telling people answers in an attempt to get an ace..  :(

And the list of other fast food places on the previous 2 pages isn't   :dontask:

dixy chicken is a fail as the question asked for fast food, not halal fast food*






*this objection was issued on behalf of the sharples party, championing non-logical arguments in the field of reverse sheeping

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao


FARCE FARCE FARCE     -  come on guys, you gotta let me get ONE question right a week     rotflmfao

no skin off my nose - I went for a 'safe' republic county.  In the interests of justice and fairness and all that shebang though counties in Northern Ireland must be allowed as correct in response to the question as worded.  Not sure how important all that stuff is to your average RSQ QM though!

;D entries are closed!

never mind londonderry, I'd imagine several counties in the south in the south are going to be fails. qm is a yank so has no geographical knowledge, probs talking about ireland, az

Another fast food chain which is the one I put - Big Johns! And before anyone accuses me of cheating I live 10 minutes up the road from the one in Erdington (Bham), and there are several others scattered in or around Birmingham.

Big Johns were famed for having a drive thru chip shop also. If that is a fail i will be disgusted.

Who else put Muhammed Ali for famous people to go to jail? If anyone gets a sheep score for this question i will be amazed, too many famous people have gone inside for something havent they? I bet 3 people say OJ Simpson :P

There's a great British fast-food chain that I've got for Q3 that hasn't been mentioned.  I bet I'm not the only one to go for it though...

Harry Ramsden's?

Caspian Pizza? Pizza Express? Classic Fish Bar?

Claw - Harry Ramsdens is a good shout to be fair. Do they have more than the one in Blackpool though?

Yeah there's loads of em.

However, 'Harry Ramsden's' should be a fail due to mainly being table service restaurants nowadays.  Looks like they have 'harry ramsden's express' too, so if that was specified I guess it could be counted as correct.

None of them.

Shame there isnt one in birmingham then, the one in Blackpool is yummy :) FML now I'm hungry!!

lol me too! just been on their webby to see where nearest one is, but it's at Euston :(

PS - there's one at Merry Hill....

Just a wee FYI - If the fast food restaurant has some chains with table service and others that are the proper Mc Donald's type we may be in for a long night.

Table service though - the one and only one that I have been to was.

erm - fail by your own rules.  'no table service'. 

YOU are in for a long night     JUSTICE   he he

That q3 is a bruiser, if there are multiple objections it will take all night to sort out without ever getting it accurate.

I suggest if we fail we take it on the chin, I will be the first to say I didn't give a correct answer so lets rack up the points.




































I passed obv.

this

yet another logic fail, I'm gonna hold a seminar in leeds on simple logical argument structures

I know a Wimpy that is take out only. So it's a [X] fast food ([X] no table service) chain [X] founded in the uk.
I can't believe the farceness is occuring 5 hours early.l

Gotta give it to Laxie ...... she's trying to get us to stay up all night so that she has company during one of her all night poker MTT marathons   rotflmfao

FAILLLLLLLLLL

the one wimpy that you know is not a chain, it's an individual restaurant. question asks for a chain. wimpy is a chain. wimpy has table service therefore wimpy is a fail

100% correct.  to get through on laxie's own rules whole chain must be non-table service.

Please don't speak for the QM.........
Laxie said it had to be fast food. It clearly is. There is a chain of non table service wimpy restaurants in services across the country. I think the fact that it has the ability to provide food over the counter shows that it is fast food, it shouldn't be ruled out because some of it's restaurants also offer a more refined meal.

:D  not speaking for her - she spoke for herself when she 'clarified' the question.

FARCE!

anyway, wimpy isn't even fast. it's about the slowest service of any restaurant chain in the world ever

My local wimpy is pretty quick considering it's not actually fast food ;D

Lax, I'll do the scoring. And I'll do it in running so feel free to change scores unlike previous QMs who have blatently ignored valid objections as it fucked up their scoring system.

:D

OMG!!!  You are a STAR!!!  TY TY TY!

You see what we're in for though, right?  They're arguing objections, fails and passes nearly 5 hours before it even starts!   rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

FYP.

I'll be objecting with the rest of 'em. As well as scoring.

So who has googled today to get their objection links ready  ;D

I agree with this. I put Wimpy, the only Wimpy I have ever been in had no table service

I This morning took my children to little chef off J13 of the M1 purely in the interests of research and was greeted by waitressed table service. It is a fail


Tbh this is the single most useless question ever in any rsq. Particularly patheric QMing

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

if someone said they had been to a little chef that was over the counter service only, would that make it a correct answer?

I was going to put Wimpy but didn't because of the table service bit, however, have a feeling this one will end up being a pass ..... link at the ready for tonights farce

HOLDofficallychampioningwimyasapassbutnottoohardcosididntputitasmyanswerFOLD

to be quite honest this question has really got to me. I've fretted about it, thoguht of possible right answers but realised the question as framed is virtually unanswerable due to the (no table service) codicil,as there are so few with not table service whatsoever across at least part of the chain

Logically of course you are right, but participants can only go from there own experience. When these differ so broadly across the same chain then I feel the question is a thorough let down to a RSQ

I am not jokng about this, I feel Laxie has done us all a huge dissservice here

I suppose Little Chef and Wimpy can both be passes or both be fails but you can't pass one and fail the other

Halal fast food is a fail, as the question didn' specify Halal so that's Dixie's out. Especially as I ahve never heard of it

Harry Ramsden's is a good one, though table service IS available in 5 of their restaurants including two airport locations. I rang their investor relations department to ask. So technically that's a fail too. In case anyone wants to double check Head Office Telephone Number: 020 7543 3461

I think that leaves Spud you like, I refuse to call it Spud U like, as the only possible corrct answer.

What a terrible question

Did you get the number of Life4you whilst you were at it?

I am now seriously worried about you Richard.

Ridiculous to say that Halal fast food isnt allowed, considering almsot ALL food in fast food in UK is Halal of some sort so as not to offend certain groups of people.

Perhaps so, but the question was not Precisely framed

I contacted The Halal Food Authority which is a voluntary, non-profit making organisation. It was launched in 1994 to monitor and regulate red meat and poultry in UK. The HFA introduced a unique system of identifying halal meat from non-halal, by putting marking or tagging for authenticity of halal on the carcasses, soon after slaughter at the slaughterhouses.

They think Laxie's quiz stinks too.

Geez! Halal, kosher, chicken, ribs or burger, it's all food and if it leaves skid marks on the counter it's fast food. Objection so weak it strikes me as it is covering up for a very weak answer.

[  ] That's the only correct answer

In preparation for some fails because Dawn is Dawn, I am prepared for a protracted series of objections.

I have already typed up a collection of generic abuse paragraphs that will only have to be edited to suit the objection.

that is all - NFL already going down well

I think we've found the sheep answer.

Wimpy is a fast food outlet. There may be tables but the sure isn't a table service.
Wimpy is a correct answer. End of argument IMO.

Edit: little Chef is a fail. They bloody well serve you at the table. I think they call it table service.

Bloody Farce!

Some Wimpys have table service.

5 Harry Ramsdens' have table service

so do some Wimpy's apparently

as do some Little Chef's for sure

Kinboshi has a mystery answer

[  ] Good luck Dawn

me too boshi...

Still need to talk to you..!!!

fyp

I've never seen one. Surely Winpy is best known for non table service? :dontask:

Just google "wimpy's waitress" for more.

did and the search turned up some cracking sites  :)up :)up

err I missed some it seems. Must change the search filter settings.

Thanks, but surely that's not what they're known for though.

As I'm on my way out and I'll miss the start of the reveal, I'd just like to say that this a total farce and is making a mockery of the RSQ.
[  ]Worst QM ever. Will a Mod please put an X in the box if I fail Q3. Thanks)

back in the early 80s there were a few wimpys around that were mcdonald's style fast food, but most of those got taken over by burger king.  I've been to several wimpy's over the past couple of decades, and all have been table service.

unless you're going on a round the world trip you'll probably be back before question 3 is done with

4th time you've said that Carl, bloody PM him or something!

Laxie, is that list of entrants on P1 final and confirmed?

FML I am going to miss another reveal

FWIW Thorntons Chocolate shops meet the criteria set by the QM re fast food and no table service in the question and subsequent clarifying post.

Hope you have a stiff drink and your whip out tonight Laxie, you will need it!

Regged for the ecoop sat,this pm
table pops up 6 handed-no probs
realise its limit noooooooooooooooooo
qualify,its tonight
will question 3 be over before the tourny finished?

Which is the biggest farce RSQ or Limit tournaments.

If I'm the next QM that will be one of my questions :D

Ok ,

Good luck tonight Laxie,.... may the farce be with you,  young Jedi shepardess

sigh, would've played sats for this if I'd realised it was on. 6max lhe is ftw. must resist the urge to deposit and play

You were robbed Crow ... it was a conspiracy !!!

Good luck Laxie ... I have a sneaky feeling you might need it.


NO DRINKING TIL ITS OVER !! .... if you manage that it will be a miracle :D

seriously - at least the crow might have come up with some less farcical questions.  I never thought I'd find myself typing that sentence!!!

sigh - farce already.  reveal was supposed to start 2 minutes ago!

orly?

thanks for your  votes of support,

It will be remembered when the Crowmaster sets the questions

In Ireland its only 6.30pm , we may have to wait

7.30 GMT?????

Right Kids...off we go.  Good luck to the lot of ya!

???

fml. on the same level of thinking as those 2. can't bode well for the rest of the quiz

haha - that's laxie's scoring system fucked up for the rest of the quiz.  [X] hopefully!

Look again   rotflmfao

if the sheep is worth 4 and there are 7 diff correct answers then how is a fail worth 9?

That's why I have people for the scoring...and to make sure I don't have a repeat of the above.   rotflmfao

pictures wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
fail for me boooooooooooooooo

Laxie's scoring system is me, and I'm doing it as the results get put up - very very very very easy for Laxie to change scores in running this week.

just as well

Oooops.  We're in for a long night then.  I thought it was half the total number distinct of answers...not just correct ones

pointless objection on the grounds that the lists provided are inaccurate

Pakistan - 5 or 6th largest population on the planet where virtually every dish is accompanied by rice - but because they don't produce figures they dont appear on the list

wow, are you kidding???

How old are you though????  Most of us 40+ remember Wimpy as being ONLY table service as kids.... Knickerbockerglory and Brown Derby FTW ......

My dad was never a burger eating person, he took my brother and I to the Wimpy once and proceeded to cut up his burger (in the bun) with hs knife and fork.  My bro and I were mortified at the time.  My dad then discovered the Wimpy Special Grill and Knickerbockerglory ... there was no getting him out of there after that  rotflmfao

It was half the number of distinct answers

It got changed to half the number of correct answers

what mich said. knickerbocker glory ftw!!!

http://www.fas.usda.gov/psdonline/psdReport.aspx?hidReportRetrievalName=World+Rice+Production%2c+Consumption%2c+and+Stocks&hidReportRetrievalID=681&hidReportRetrievalTemplateID=7

Laxie - whats the new fail score or are you just gonna change the rules to read "number of distinct answers"? ;)

In that case, I'm changing it back for tonight.  

Can;t just change the rules!

hahahahahaha you poor poor thing ... it is however quite cosy and contentful in this bubble world

Ignore this ^^^...I lied.  Going with total distinct answers as that's how I scored it in the end.

FARCE Seriously, you set the rules, you get to keep them.

I know - but Laxie might have been remembering what she'd read in one of the early one's rather than thinking about what she'd actually copied and pasted from the last one

Right then...on to Q2.  This is easy.  

two lists i looked at after didnt even list them - though they were dated 2003/2004

so, as claire pointed out, why isn't usa the sheep answer?

Because it was a fail

But it was the most given, therefore sheep.

sigh objection to Londonderry fail.  Is it a fail because it should be 'Derry' or coz it's in the north?

was it or was it not the answer most commonly given? do you have a clue about the rules?

GOLD STAR FOR CARL..!!!!!  LOL

You tend to find that chapati's are the more staple part to the dish rather than rice.  I was surprised when i went to my husbands family home the first couple of times and there was no rice at all served.  But shed loads of chapati's (hmmmmmmmmm).    Rice is only cooked about once a week - gutted I was lol.

usa deffo sheep answer as answer most commonly given.  doesn't say anywhere sheep score is most commonly given correct answer.  in this instance, and this instance alone, I'm happy to accep the QM's interpretation on this one :D

USA is therefore sheep. ffs, 2nd time I have had to quote your own rules at you.

I was thinking then...  Chipati...  ChipButti... Chipati...  ChipButti... Chipati...  ChipButti... Chipati...  ChipButti......  Mmmmm  Chip butty...

Oh hush!  Most given correct is sheep, ffs


I will explain the deciders on this one.  I was originally failing it mainly as it's not in what I consider to be Ireland.  However, as I failed to say Eire or Republic of Ireland, I went with my second reaction when I first read their answers...it's feckin DERRY!!!!

I consulted a number (half a dozen, there or thereabouts) of teachers in the area.  They all sided with ye on the Ireland argument, however they concurred with me on the Derry vs. Londonderry issue.  So there you have it

so we are now completely ignoring the rules set out in op. is that correct?

at least that gives us hope that we might ignore the questions as well

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Ireland

lists Londonderry with footnote - often referred to as Derry.  Londonderry therefore correct.

Look, if I was wrong at least I was consistently wrong throughout...so just work with me and get over it!

[  ] Blames Laxie
[X] Blames Kinboshi

see also - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derry-Londonderry_name_dispute

clearly a pass.

Hmmmm I still object to that according to various maps why isn't just called fecking Derry then  ;D

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Ireland.html

How about you just post all the answers, we can then mark them individually, using any rules that take our fancy at the time, just like your doing.

http://www.touristnetuk.com/NI/LONDONDERRY/

It's not Ireland!

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge objection to silo's answer please.

LOL...  too many people take this too seriously..  LOL...

Forget your Wiki.  The Bible of all that is right and true in Ireland...I give you the GAA:

http://www.derrygaa.ie/

The Grab All Association is right

GOOGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 autofail imo.  if he's gonna look it up he should at least keep quiet about not knowing a correct answer first.

county Londonderry has 890000 google hits

Hmmmmm,

The farce is strong in this one master Luke

She may turn to the dark side , beware young Jedi

just pass Londonderry ffs before this turns into a political argument!

Time for a Crow Interlude methinks  ;D


EDIT:   one was being posted while I was typing above lol

Will not debate Derry Vs. Londonderry, however you have a point with your case for a google charge.  Am considering an auto fail...with double points for google farce.  Give me a sec to think about it.

Like that would affect this thread

fyp

How many pages is Tikay's diary upto? I think we could be giving it a run for its money tonight!

no, FYP.

I consulted a number (half a dozen, there or thereabouts) of teachers in the area.  They all sided with ye on the Ireland argument, however they concurred with me on the Derry vs. Londonderry issue.  So there you have it


Excuse me but this is ludicrous, You consult Eire teachers likely unsympathetic to the union about Derry or Londonderry and take that as gospel?

Absurd. Londonderry is clearly not a fail

County Debbie Does Dallas has 76000 google hits. What limit do i have to hit to make it a County in Ireland?

Leicestershire would have been an ace.

It's not in Ireland, but like that matters to half the people on here...

Lincolnshire....

I have made a decision regarding Silo's crime of googling.  I find him....................................

Louisiana...

There you go Laxie, if you had any doubt before, now you know what to do!

FAIL

the Irish rugby team draws players from Ulster. Londonderry is in Ulster, ergo Londonerry is in Irealnd

excuse me. Laxie is completely wrong on this.

Free the Londonderry answerers!

Silo is GUILTY of google crimes!  As punishment, you receive double the FAIL score.  Shame on you!

JUSTICE

He's too tall to win anyway.

Q3. let the blood letting begin

Score amended.

Any change on the Derry situation or shall I post up the final revised scores for Q2?

Wexford is a county beginning with the letter L (If you take the Irish, Loch Garman)

Right, no change to Derry so scores please Mr. Sharplea and we'll move on.

fyp

And would have been accepted.  However, some are having difficulty with the English, never mind the Irish.

Absolutely ludicrous. Seriously, wtf?

Londonderry does now not exist.

Got to go with the locals opinion. What may be Bombay to some people is clealy Mumbai.
Derry for Derry folk. Londonderry for farcical googlers.

The Welsh rugby team draws players from Australia. 

Not in Ireland.

I should have gone for Cork as my answer.  It doesn't begin with an L, but we can ignore that part of the question...

Took you long enough to get it.  Seriously.  I thought you were an intelligent man.  One who grasped information quickly.  Keep up please.

this is about regional identity not birthplace of players

Don't be ridiculous

I'm staggered Lodonderry is failed

Scores will be up as soon as Adam gets firefox working again!! (long live internet explorer)

What's the evidence that Silo googled?

+1000 in fact.

I am shocked, staggered, nonplussed and ashamed.

FYP and so you should be.

clearly a ludicrous decision by the QM, but are you shocked, really?

Let's call a halt before someone gets hurt ffs!

New set of questions please Laxie...

Surely there can be no debate on those two, both have table service - simple as that.

Objection !

thorntons is a food chain, you didnt say fast food restaurant.
Serves food,
no tables

Should be a pass

OBJECTION!!
Yo Sushi has waiters

http://www.yosushi.com/files/17a882ce-/HowToYO!WebVersion.pdf
"1 Pop in and we’ll
seat you with
our menu
Help yourself
to any dish off
the conveyor
belt or order via
your waiter"

can confirm existence of a Miss Millies.  Cannot confirm if it is a chain or founded in the UK.

lol @ 14 different correct answers to a question nobody knew the answer to 5 days ago

going to be interesting at bb8 when nobody will be allowed to google...............

Plenty of BE my way

These kind of franchise always had the best chance of being aces

My wimpy has no table service


p.s Pret a manger is the best answer, brilliant stuff

Also have the ability to serve food over the counter, without table service, hence fast food.

The waiters don't deliver your food.  You can order something and it's placed on the conveyor belt.  Waiters don't serve you at your table.

Now find a proper fail ;)

Objection the second

Wimpy also has waiters, proof already posted!!

Considering your appreciation for food, I'm shocked that you've not heard of them.  However, I can promise each one was researched thoroughly and found to be a pass.  

those google-bunnies are going to suffer big time

Move on - nothing to see here

The only Harry's I've ever been in had no table service - I REPEAT NO TABLE SERVICE - therefore clearly an epic non-fail

or order via a waiter

Clear fail

how can you pass yo sushi? we've all been, we've all had table service. all hot dishes are brought to you by waiters/waitresses after you have ordered from them. drinks too

:( I mean I know RSQ is a laugh and shouldn't be taken too seriously, but this one really takes the biscuit - wrong answers are right, right answers are wrong and QM ignoring all valid objections.  I've never meant this so much - FARCE!

5 Ramsdens outlets have table service, including Gatwick and Heathrow airports

I rang them earlier to clarify

its a fail

Thank you kind sir, it was the only one I could think of with Laxie's criteria - and of course, even then it was probably a fail for some bizarre reason.

the only one i've been in did!  So it would be a pass for you and a fail for me then?? :D

I agree, this has all gone too far

Epic depression settles in in my house over this sad turn of events

Wrong=right, fail=pass, pass=fail, londonderry=mythical

Table service is fine if they also serve over the counter they can clearly do fast food. They just offer a refined option along side this.

lol. did you read the question?

The three I have been to ALL have table service, I repeat, TABLE SERVICE! therefore clearly an epic fail

works in my house

I'm happy with that - seems to meet Laxie's criteria.

YES !!

3.  Name a fast food chain which was founded in the UK  (Fast food = no table service)

good.

Duke for next QM!

[  ] that's how it works

so you order hot food, wait 10 mins while they cook it and then they just stick it on the conveyor so other people can take it?

or shall we go back to the real world where they have waiters?

do they put your drinks on the conveyor belt as well?

Laxie, this answer is a clear FAIL

One of my friends owns a franchise of a Rooser Hut in Birmingham LOL...  I promise...

If she passes all those with table service I think I won't bother any more tonight. I ready the Q and her later comments and passed because of it. ow she changes the rules, again.

Going by that basis then WIMPY is a FAIL as well

It serves chocolate, not food.  And you knew it going in to this.  Can't be arsed to find yer quote as I've too much going on, but you did say you were taking a chance with yer answer.  [ ] That was a good idea.

Fine, really

not that bothered about my own score in this non quiz as any winner will be tainted by the londonderry farce

ramsdens and wimpy can both fail imho

I think common sense should apply to Q3, which I think Laxie has provided

Well done Laxie

Excellent job

She said no fecking table service!

LOLOL creep

Right, I've had a word with me, myself and I and have come to a new decision regarding 3 restaurants, which are now fails.  Be back in a sec

This



Sigh - RSQ Tilt ........   

Wimpy, Ramsdens and yo squid at least

Wimpy and Harry Ramsdens are fails as is Yo! Sushi.  Table service provided and clearly one of the rules was no table service.  Have a good day.  Scores please.  

NEXT!

Know the feeling.

If some are allowed to have table service, and some not, then fine it's a pass. But the question was NO table service.

ABSOLUTE FARCE. WIMPY AT SERVICES HAVE NO TABLE SERVICE. THEY OFFER OVER THE COUNTER FOOD. THIS IS FAST FOOD.

[X] FAIL

Yes, drinks go on the conveyor as well.

Please, don't have hot food at a bloody sushi restaurant.  Thanks.

The question didn't say no table service it define fast food as no table service so it's fast food if you don't need table service. Wimpy and Harry Ramsden's fits the bill.
FARCE

Marrow is a fail?

wow, unlucky

WTF - why is Marrow a fail


oh, is this not a vegetable now or something????

Things are workin well my precious
