Very high quality list of entrants so far

Great title.  Delaying entry because I suspect some people may be copying my answers

So, if I give an answer and 12 others give the same answer, do I score 12 or 13 points?

County in Ireland would cause some serious hassle if this were a reverse sheep quiz.  Count yerself lucky imo.

can only get worse from here.

See previous rulings - it's not a farce

Home counties in which country please?

In for low table obscurity.

ffs, is it normal for the quiz master to abuse entrants via PM?

This is the joy of the quiz :-) I coulda just used Red Dog's motif and put 'County' and then ruled out all but home counties. We all know when people say 'there are no wrong answers' they don't mean it

rigged but will obv enter

lol, be quick, I've started building pivot tables and shiz

Originality Objection: http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=55692.msg1455335#msg1455335

Oh man, outed for plagiarism. However, over-ruled - I need a really famous bridge, not just well known

IN.

off to google 'home counties'

Can we choose the cd if we win? Just won't really feel like much of a prize if it's one of the ones you've borrowed off me and keep 'forgetting' to give back ;D

Probably not but if you win I'll throw in a book

that'd be good.  there's only so many times a grown man can re-read twilight.

Entered my first ever one of these.

We have 41 entries - it's a really great line up, pretty much the great and the good.

Chompy isn't in, but then he's not in the calendar either

Actually made me LOL and I don't think I know Chompy (could have been anyone). Just class

IN

Pleased to get a PM acknowledgment of my Entry, not quite so pleased with the content. Rubs PRE judging, bang out of order.

I can imagine you winning this.

Guess the punchline......

[   ]************88

or

*picture of wooden spoon*

or

...but then i always have been prone to flights of fancy

don't think you've quite understood how the scoring works

!

i try not to win it because i could not think of a worse way to spend a few hours of my life running a quiz.... had a couple of sweats with 2nd places so playing it safe....
"they dont like it up em captain"

Come on QM, get with the programme. List of entrants in the OP please.

Standards are slipping.

is the slots forum quiet?

Specially for Cf, though not in the opening post, here's the list of entrants for this week.

Reveal at about 8.30pm tonight - very frustrating that tables in word or excel do not retain their formatting when you post them in messages here. If anyone knows a natty way to display results then please let me know.

Saw Dan made .PNG images of his spreadsheets last week. Is that the only way we can display tables here with their formats retained - ie a picture.

Don't really matter as the info will all be there and the losers will still be losers but without the benefit of seeing their name and score displayed nicely.

This is looking like one hell of a well organised reveal. First time ever I am not expecting a FARCE. WP so far Nirvana.

he told me "Good Luck. You will need it"

I want to win again. Have a tremendous idea for the next quiz, if so

Sadly, my skill edge has been removed with having to find the most popular rather than the rarest answers.. ;whistle;

Tighty if I win you can do mine!! I'm with jase I don't wanna run one would be the biggest farce since the farce itself

I reckon wrong answers shouldn't be allowed.  Fine to say google and all that, but then why accept wrong answers?!  Reckon there should be a mega penalty for wrong 'uns and gives the rest of us something to do trying to prove everyone wrong.

you do know the last reveal spanned over 2 days. wrong uns are completly wrong in my opinion but who are we to prove it :)

Yeah, but that was Red.  He was a virgin so it was bound to take time.  Nirvana's been around, so we should be allowed have some fun with him.

loooooooooooooool. I saw that Nirvana. Worst possible start for me! FML. nice formatting tho. How did more people not go Brooklyn bridge?

That's more of it.  Revealing before the reveal.  We might have shit to stir yet.

you taking a lap top tonight or just phone dave?

Phone mate. At work now with a Xmas hat and a flashing bow tie on. You defo up for wearing them tonight! I am! Lets get into the Xmas spirit. I know you Chinese don't normally celebrate it, but surely you can make an exception.

yes i will wear it if it fits

I bought my whole office Xmas hats and a singing and dancing Xmas tree which is now tilting the life of everyone. The fat doesn't fit one guy so he wears it like a skullcap. No excuses!!

If either of us turn up without a Xmas hat on then its £25 to live update fund. Deal?

Oops ! You & Laxie on my tail !!

OK, just gonna have my lovely home made 3 chicken thigh curry with a touch of the phillistine (big chunky chips) and back at 8.30 for curtain up

Season with farsley.

Sat in Dtd in a stupid reindeer hat. :(

lol, they're removable you know

Sat in DTD like a pimp with a Santa hat and flashing bow tie.

when is the reveal?

10 mins ago ???

Lol , not for me n Milligan . In for a penny in for a pound

Finely chopped onion, olive oil
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Turmeric
I tsp Lazy Garlic from a jar
2 tsp Lazy chillis
1 tsp Lazy Ginger (finely cut)
Fenugreek Seeds
Big handful of Garam Masala
3 Chicken Thighs

Add a tin of tomatoes and some chopped mushrooms, water to suit

Scoff

OK, 5 mins to the first answers, images worked OK earlier so hope they're legible as I put them up

So to question 1, even though this has been done before some people managed to mangle it, excellent, WP

started 2030 exactly ....wow

(http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/81341/81341,1239117265,6/stock-photo-teen-boy-typing-very-close-at-computer-screen-28223995.jpg) Good start

wow that's the first time I've ever topped a sheep/reverse sheep quiz.

my year is complete

do we need 3d glasses for this?

this copying and pasting of spreadsheets is BS imo

Magnifiers ready as we rock on to question 2.

I merged ranges with Derry / Londonderry - couldn't do the same with Glamorgan I'm afraid

ffs sort it out glennda.  i can't even read that properly with my super dooper (not as good as yours obv) new specs on

Farce, each answer should be a standalone answer.

Nothing can be done now, whats done is done

Yeh this awful


FARCE

gg wp

I kinda agree, I nearly made Captain Mannering an answer on its own

cba more like

and this.  no whaling in a standard sheep quiz.

Lets surprise ourselves by looking at Claw riding high (on alphabets only)

as you should.  google is allowed so no excuses for shoddy spelling.  i hope i spelt Pyeke right.

maybe that's ok then ;)

Churls gonna churl

MAINWARING, please!

Incred, but it's question 3 already, George2Faroffthepace has some work to do

hurry up and get on with it so i'm not riding high right on top of girgy for much longer pls.

dont panic tk

I'm rubbish at these

Well done Mrs B! lol

Er.. I know this, but i decided not to be spellist ageism on the other hand.......

Cushioning ftw

oi oi top"

Lucky just lived up to his name as he slipped under Girgy

had been sticking to 10 a day for last couple of days but can feel a trip to the garage coming on.

Wiiiiii. Just met tonytats? Sat to my left

single figures fml

Stick around Claw, we're onto question 4 already, dear Ray went for the reverse on this one

Stick to being a TV critic ?

i was thinking to myself. fml, I'm doing bad, but better than bitb..

getting quite excited about the cd now

In the battle of the Reds back story its, Mrs Red from Redsgirl and bringing up the rear - the original RED-DOG

That County Q was b.s , why is Cork so popular, Dublin had to be the 'safe' answer there!

no it didn't.  Dublin would have been the 'safe' answer if it was 'name an irish city', but 'county dublin' doesn't trip off the tongue like what 'county cork' does innit

This one threw up the most disparate set of answers - it's question 5

Ok, I see the thinking outside the box thats gone on there, no wonder I'm doing terribly!

siogh gg me

no one watches rasta mouse?

still watch it now at times

it's purely level 1 thinking. that's why i'm doing pretty great atm.

Normal service resumed

Claw the outright leader on top of Lucky with snoopy looking on

How did I get that one so wrong?

browsing the hmv website.  might pick a double disc for added valoooo

that was my bad one - was hoping all of the old people in the quiz would pull me thru

Yep, I overthought every question!...First thing I thought of was London Bridge but then decided to look deeper into it, then picked a worse answer!

Claw looking likely to win her own CD and then there was question 6 - ooooooooops !!!!!!!!

Special mention for Joshua Pim as an answer from Cf - excellent name, unlucky

Contrary to popular belief, you are not a child

first instinct - bish, bash, bosh.  although i dithered from my original thought in one of the later answers and will probs cost me the quiz.

edit: or i could get screwed over by sampras :)

Wp Celtic  rotflmfao

I was gonna go rasta mouse but I thought the tweenies were in

The cream rises to the top and look, there's Lucky.

The TightEnd looking unlikely to have his wish granted unless the winner cedes to His Tightness

greeky entered your quiz? I'm hurt *tear*

Question 7 threw up a very dominant answer if one merged the variants on Cap, Capt, Sgt, Mr, George, no George, Mannering, Manering, Manuring, Mainwaring (thanks Teeks).

rhinoass was a bit unfortunate in that his answer would almost certainly top a different question

quiz should have had 5 questions imo.

[ ] Vinny is funny

I had Compo down straight away,thankfully I copped on it wasn't last of the summer wine!

5 - that's an idea, coulda saved me 23 minutes

Lucky opens his legs and shows his class. Redsgirl totally dominating her own personal battle

Question 8 and suddenly 8 people want to play Celtics personal RSQ

The top ten all in with a shout still

Wiiiiii  GTFO  Mrs Red.

are people fkn kidding me

This question interested me. Shows the power of brands. How long would it be since Nokia dominated the mobile phone market. I guess, across the generations, most peoples first phone would have been a very much loved Nokia and it shows in this answer I think

I lolled

Very close between Lucky and Girgy as we head to the last question - two quite different characters, both Blondes

fml I think this is my first confirmed instance of disconnection from the youth of today

I've never heard of the second most popular answer :(

but you are 7!

I don't understand most people. Dreams shattered. Bring back rsq! :D

very unlucky there, Bucs was my second choice answer and I grew up in Kent....sigh

Edit: also....gfy for previous comment ;)

It's time to get this done.. pa ra pa pum pum. A new born King today...pa ra pa pum pum.

Lucky with an absolute clanger on the last question....congrats girgy

8 for red bull.8. Gives up

King Girgy, who'd a thought he was so clevs - well done old boy, PM me your address for a Stereophonics CD and bonus copy of Twilight - the book.

Girgy. Nut worst winner. Well-done glenn, good quizzing

Well done girgs. Looking forward to your quiz. should be epic

WD Nirvana!

lol & thanks, off to find a tall building ?

 ;grr;

lols

Ha! beat both the olds, even with some seriously dodgy answers!
Looking forward to next time, Well done Girgy ;applause;

I enjoyed your Tim Henman answer! ;D

Well done Girgy!

We let her win...

Great quiz Glenn. Only just read the reveal and was getting quite worried as I didnt want to win it.

My luck held up!

Well played Girgy.

Wp girgy. Really looking forward to your quiz.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ty ty all only just caught up with this. <3 stereophonics

Can do a quiz but reveal date wont be until Tuesday 27th if you want a bit of a crimbo break?

Haha, confusionaments, FML.

PS: So cold for Djokovic, he's the abs boss and doesn't even get 1 pick.

In which case, we can have a Guest QuizMaster chappie person next week.

All those in favour of a Tighty Quiz say.......

Get it done Tighty.

One off tighty Crimbo special? Happy with that.

Questions at the ready. Will wait for Tighty to post his Crimbo special first tho.

gogogog Tighty!

Just caught up with this. Jeez! Dead & buried from early, how the hell did I wind up 2nd?
That was way too close for comfort - thank God there were no more questions.

Q    Place   Points Behind
4      26           23
5      18           23
6      15           19
7      12           19
8       6            14
9       4             9
10     2             7

tighty quiz imo

Can't believe I didn't win.

Well done girgles.

+ Tightys Christmas Quiz, sure he has not got much to do at the moment...

Wiiiiii, nice bottom finish for me there :)

My goal was to get 10pts with correct answers, unlike celtics cheating method. Quite hard!

That should be a new rule I think, like in that card game hearts I think. If someone manages to ace every question with correct answers then they win :)

your banned from my quiz

Just caught up a bit.  Well done Lads and deffo Tighty quiz to hold us over!

sorry for cheating, I was so scared of winning.

Good quiz surprised Borg not top I'n tennis question was my hero as boy . Look forward to next quiz
