blonde poker forum

Here is your RSQ. I have only taken part in these for a few months, so it is possible that one or more has been asked in the past.

The score for each question is the number of people who give that answer.

The most popular answer is the sheep.

Incorrect answers receive the sheep score plus 5 points.

Lowest score wins.

Using Google is not allowed.

You must pass one question and will receive 0 points for that question.

PM your answers to me by 11pm Wed 26 Sep. The reveal will take place at 8pm on Thurs 27 Sep.

There are fifteen questions in total, starting with a couple of easy ones:



1. A country, outside the UK, which has Queen Elizabeth II as Head of State
 
2. A seating position at the poker table

3. A character in The Bash Street Kids

4. A type of animal or plant that can live for 100 years

5. An acronym or abbreviation commonly used in dating ads

6.  A country in Central America

7. A change in Shane Warne's appearance since he took up with Liz Hurley

8. A destination (country not accepted) that can be reached by direct ferry from Portsmouth

9. Someone who won a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics, who was not representing UK/GBR or USA

10. A famous person who is or was missing a body part (not including common removals like appendix or tonsils)

11. A junction on the M27

12. Someone who has run unsuccessfully for President of the USA

13. A sport that has been dropped from the Summer Olympics

14. A sexually-transmitted disease

15. Picture Round. Just choose your favourite hat. Or your least favourite. Or the one that you think other people won't pick. Or the one that they think you won't pick. Or the one showing her knockers.

Nice. X factor just started but will defo be in at some point

In. Done. Submitted.

Some great questions, some "interesting"  questions, and the hat one :D

We've also seemed to move to 15 questions as the standard, rather than 10. Which is fine, unless people can't answer more than one question.

Anyway, will enter as it has to be better than Dawn's effort. I use effort in the loosest sense of the word...

had another go hoping to finish lower this week, far too close to winning last week!!

Had a go,

expecting to come last!!!

A few complete guesses in there. Also one or two that could cause controversy, hope I'm about to argue it! :)


Edit: Sigh

Blonde will make you thin members must not pick the breakfast hat should be a rule !

I will play but I know google ain't allowed ! Can I use ask Jeeves instead?

lol. I only have a couple of answers for 1 question and only 1 answer for question too. Guess that's my pass :)

in

in

Will prob do it tomorrow. Do think you should get 2 passes for 15 questions though.

In - after my p*** poor effort lkast time

With seven entries received, I am surprised at the unanimity on some questions. In particular, four entrants have given the same answer for one question. It is a correct answer, but one I thought unlikely to figure much, if at all. I suppose I shouldn't say which question, in case it somehow gives an advantage to the remaining players.

Just over two days left to finish them off......................time is running out.

If it's Q5, there could be some follow-up questions!

IN

In

Not long left - the deadline for entries is tonight!

Will be in after I have sorted tea

Oh it is ONNNNN!

Giving my laptop to Jack for an hour or two but I'll get answers in once he gives it back.

Goddamn, how many posts do you need to PM?

I presume it's 10.

At least I hope it's 10.

Time to find out...

Bingo.

Can't wait. After last time, I feel I have unfinished business.

Ah, Grasshopper...

I thought Tighty was only joking about being upset at Laxies biased marking. Alas it would appear that the toys really have left the pram and tighty as seen his arse :(

Win number 10 will have to wait :)

He'll be even more upset if I knock him out of the semis of the football quiz cup later.

#onetiiiiiiiiime

Yea last week was a bad football league week for him too

Gah. Ended up out yesterday so missed this :(

Good luck to all involved... especially the QM!

Can Tal stop Kinboshi  ;popcorn;

why is my name not on the list?!  WTF is going on here?!  I submitted a perfectly crap set of answers in a timely fashion and do not take kindly to being left off the list.   ;nemesis;

Good work Mr Pompey.

tighty may have had something to do with it :)

Can anyone stop you?

Actually, I know the answer to that!

;)

Mrs Smashedagain?

she's off to Dublin in 12 hours :)

Don't know what you're on about. Your name is on the list.

can someone send me a reminder 5 minutes before the reveal i think i might need to appeal on the STD question in order to win the quiz

I will. 


For real this time...proberly

dont you mean probarbly?

Best of luck appealing that answer!

i hope i dont need too appeal it but have my appeal read and have been helped in the appeal by a sexual health nurse who agrees with me

Did you say "Brazil nut allergy"?

Just warming up ;)

more common

How are you gonna know that the people have the std's they say they have?

Braziw nat allajay?

#essexaccentfail

I still can't believe that can be sexually transmitted. We live in an odd world.

They just need to show me the evidence.

nice job

i can assure you i have never suffered from my answer

Why are you still here?  My phone call at 7:55 is going to seem a bit silly at this rate.

i didnt hold out much hope of the call

10

ok forum clock is wrong

why am i waiting?

I phoned you at 7:55 and it went to voice mail. 

forum says 8 pm

Forum is 5 minutes fast

i used to be in army 5 minutes fast is the correct time

Legoooooooooo

1 minute left...then we let Ironside run the reveal

+1

FYP

He's late now.  Ban him ffs

Hello

what you expect from portsmouth they are terrible football team and many naval

come on the saints and the army

shit i might have just blown my chances of winning the quiz

8 o'clock according to my computer - 8:01 now.

Oh hell to the no.  Don't 'Hello' us.  YER LATE!!!  

lets go boss

best RSQ master ever

So, here we go. Thanks to those of you who have entered. Here's a nice quiet evening, with little dispute and an early night. I'm not expecting any dissent but, if there is, let's just agree that we'll accept my decision and move on. Agreed? Okay, let's get this over with.

question 1 ironside ace thank you pointless

Suck ups.  Want chapstick for those arse kissing lips?

Evening all.

Some of the answers have surprised me. Quite a few of you have out-clevered yourselves by going for the same obscure answers, while the obvious one has remained unused. One of the questions that surprised me was the US Presidential one, where 4 of the first 5 received all went for the same person, who failed to be elected over 50 years ago - and that wasn't the sheep in the end. Another one was the hat question - where most of the votes went to just 2 hats, until a late spurt by one previously unchosen hat, taking 3 of the last 6 entries, narrowed the gap. There is an Ace there though, so everything could swing on the last question.

as long as you accept my answer too 14 as an ace i can tell you the symptons i believe laxie and claw and most of my facebook have suffered from it

I'm not looking forward to the 100-year old question though. Why do some of you have to be so bloody awkward? Perhaps we should just skip that one altogether.

Forgot about that one. I'm fine on that.

So, if you're sitting comfortably, we'll begin.

It's not an Ace.  It should be a whale with technolog's answer.  Can't believe the pair of ya.

WTF is all this preamble? Get on with the farce ffs.

not sitting not comfy but get a freaking move on

No skipping it!!!

Question1:

+1

Boshi's warming up his grumble-valves

It's ok, they go from 0-60 in less than 3 seconds.

A bit nervous about this as I am still not sure I really understand what's going on!!

And I'm on a train....

With rubbish reception

Perfect!

There are 54 member states of the Commonwealth but, apart from the UK, only 15 of them have The Queen as their Head of State:

Canada
Australia
New Zealand
Jamaica
Barbados
The Bahamas
Grenada
Papua New Guinea
The Solomon Islands
Tuvalu
Saint Lucia
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Belize
Antigua and Barbuda
Saint Kitts and Nevis

Far from this being a historical throwback, most of these have been acquired during her reign. She has been Queen of only Canada, Australia and New Zealand since the start, with the other twelve becoming realms at later stages. Actually, twenty-four countries have become realms during her reign, but twelve of those have subsequently reverted to full independence.

Three countries (South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon) were realms at the start of her reign but are no longer.

Sounds good to me.

I refuse to be lectured on Her Most Glorious Majesty's Realms by a goddamn Irish man ffs! Please reinstate Fiji.

i have fallen asleep waiting here

Mr Trav the history teacher.

::)

Wish he'd hurry up and post technolog's epic FAIL while the Yank got it correct.

Tuvalu FFS, you cudda just said Australia and had an Ace.

will you stop watching pointless i get my answers from there too

You're shitting me?

If Tuvalu is not an ace, this is going to be a long and unpleasant night for everyone.

Bloody chess-players (and Ironside)

fyp

Does no one else watch five hours of parading countries in the Olympics Opening Ceremony?

What's a "goggle"? 

Tuvalu is the home of the .tv web-domains.  That's the only reason I know anything about it, and that it's in the Commonwealth.

Gave up at Jamaica.

its on pointless every cpl of weeks i forgot how many people watch pointless on here

You can feck right off for a start.

why are we waiting

Can we do a Mexican wave while we're waiting?

 ;yippee;

i hope i get an ace here and not a whale cause the button and the seat the dealer sits in to throw the cards are totally different

Glad I didn't go for Fiji...

2. A seating position at the poker table

The wording left open the possibility of saying 'sitting backwards", cross-legged", "woman-on-top", etc, so I had to allow them but, again, the ones who tried to be clever mostly shot themselves in the foot.

At 7.45 I was sat waiting for this and have just remembered what I was waiting for. How are we only on q3

I'll be getting my bus pass before this reveal is over.

well pleased about

its ok laxie already has hers

I'm worried about Laxie.

Q4 Animal or Plant that can live for 100 years.

This'll be fun. My definition of "can live for 100 years" is that there has been at least one known example of it happening, thereby showing that it is possible.

How many examples of koi carp living over 100 years do you need?

1

Immortal Jellyfish!!!

It regenerates, so has no natural death.

It's nearly time for my cheque from the Queen

"The age of a fish is calculated in much the same way as one works out the age of a tree by counting its rings; most fish have growth rings on their scales known as annuli. This technique was used to estimate the age of Hanako, meaning "flower maid", the world's oldest koi carp, who died in 1977 at the age of 226 years."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2007/apr/12/animalwelfare.world

Last time I looked, 226 > 100

can we get running scores please?

humans is an ace perfect

Nothing lives forever. Different types of jellyfish live from a few hours to a few months. The immortal jellyfish reverts to a polyp stage and then reforms as a new jellyfish. In theory, this could go on indefinitely. However, I have rejected it as living to 100 years because:

a) If it is reformed, can it actually be said to be the same creature?

b) the process has only been observed in laboratories; never in the wild so far.

c) No single specimen has been observed for any extended period, so it is not currently possible to estimate the age of an individual, and so even if this species has the potential for immortality, there is no laboratory evidence of many generations surviving from any individual.

d) Even if it has the potential, most potential jellyfish succumb to predation or disease in the plankton stage. An individual would have to pass through this process many hundreds of times to achieve 100 years.

e) Most importantly, there is no example that is known, or even thought, to have lived 100 years.

did you google this?
My mate has a koi farm and they have 2 at 75 + :(

http://www.sanangelopondsociety.com/freqaskedques.htm

I dunno about giving Iron an ace there.  You said plant or animal.  I know some humans could be classed as, but does that make it right?

Have heard of plenty of Koi living over 100 years in Japan - saw a few of them in the flesh.  Just googled this one now, didn't realise the record was over 200 years old though.

Humans are animals ffs.  We're primates, and like apes we're animals.  How many times do we have to cover this ffs.

http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/search/imagedetail.php?id=276&topic_id=&keywords=

Hanako? LOL. You don't believe that,do you. Carp live to 50-60 years. The only evidence for Hanako being over 200 years old is that it's owner said so. There is no other evidence that I know of. I don't believe that something lived to 4 times as old as it's species usually does.

This is RSQ & boshi we're talking about. Of course he googled it.

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

In this process the medusa of the immortal jellyfish is transformed into the polyps of a new polyp colony. First, the umbrella reverts itself and then the tentacles and mesoglea get resorbed. The reverted medusa then attaches itself to the substrate by the end that had been at the opposite end of the umbrella and starts giving rise to new polyps to form the new colony. Theoretically, this process can go on indefinitely, effectively rendering the jellyfish biologically immortal

Ergo, it CAN - it is possible for it to - live for 100 years

Look at 'is ickle faaaace...

(http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9j185MeoQ1rcmvwbo1_400.jpg)

There are fish in this country over 100 years old but I only have my mates word for it.

Humans who live to be 100 do not have a single atom in their body that is part of the 'original' person.  So, is it the same person?

this hasn't gone well at all so far. Next time I'm just going for the obvious answers!

I posted another link to ones that live over 100.  There are plenty of them.  You said you wanted one, I'll post half-a-dozen. 

Also, you're argument against Tal's ace is wrong.

If you & boshi can show me show solid evidence, I'll allow it. I don't think you can.

#Invalid YouTube Link#
Ffs. That tells of em in Japan

http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/34936-226-year-old-koi/

Yeah those scientists weren't sure whether it was capable of living for over 100 years, so they gave it a name that would keep its possible age unclear.

Oh hang on..

How. It has never been observed, so there is no evidence. Show me some evidence of one that has lived that long.

Again, it says "CAN" live for over 100 years. It is biologically possible at this time for an example of the species to live for 100 years or more.

Ace, baby!

tbh if it stops Kinboshi or me winning then just mark it wrong :)

Don't make me get all modal verb on yo' ass!

(http://www.play-mag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ice-t-photo-ice-t-.jpg)

If MintTrav hasn't sat alongside it for 100 years, he won't take it as an acceptable answer.

Good point!

I take it we are all agreed that those creatures don't live that long.

You couldn't just say tortoise or redwood like normal people.

humans are normal people as far as i know i am the only normal person and i aint human

Yes, well I assumed that the quiz had normal people in it, so picking a normal person answer would be -EV.

I've probably spotted the flaw...

scores on teh doors?

Here's something that is 100 years old. Happy birthday!

OBJECTION

Trees should all be whales.

over an hour in, 4 questions down..... finish time around midnight?

anyone want to take the overs?

You're skipping to the Shane Warne question.

What about fish? Over-ruled.

This is true. You didnt ask for a specific tree. You got the answer tree. A tree can live for more than 100 years. Ergo, correct.

Fish is a fail.

Trees are a type of plant, and they should all be grouped together as whales.

trees can live to 100 years in a tree chopping area

We might have to live to 100 years to reach the end of this reveal...

wow $2.2 million for one koi. Did find an article saying that koi live to 70. That can't be average can it. There are plenty of reports of the 200 year old koi too

so i get what's going on now,

but why is it called RSQ?  ;ashamed;

woohooooooooooo


i dont even know half of them including the sheep

sheep quiz you want to get the most common answers reverse sheep quiz you want to get the least common answers

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/01/090130-immortal-jellyfish-swarm.html

Turritopsis typically reproduces the old-fashioned way, by the meeting of free-floating sperm and eggs. And most of the time they die the old-fashioned way too.

But when starvation, physical damage, or other crises arise, "instead of sure death, [Turritopsis] transforms all of its existing cells into a younger state," said study author Maria Pia Miglietta, a researcher at Pennsylvania State University.

The jellyfish turns itself into a bloblike cyst, which then develops into a polyp colony, essentially the first stage in jellyfish life.

The jellyfish's cells are often completely transformed in the process. Muscle cells can become nerve cells or even sperm or eggs.

Through asexual reproduction, the resulting polyp colony can spawn hundreds of genetically identical jellyfish—near perfect copies of the original adult.

This unique approach to hardship may be helping Turritopsis swarms spread throughout the world's oceans, she added.

So that would be identical genetic material, which would be...an ace?

TYVM

Another reason why the RSQ should only be 10 questions....

WE = well endowed.

I watched the same episode of QI as dwh103

You'd think it would be, except we have a fool as the RSQ.

i want to do a RSQ to be abused by the teaboy boshi is my lifes ambition

would TIUTB been an ace or fail?

Depends on how the QM feels I think.

LOL

me you and Tal have TIUTB with this marking.... Farce

A country in Central America.

A nice easy one. What could go wrong? At least no-one said Mexico.

Thought I'd stick to non-controversial answers, because I'm all about behaving with appropriate levels of decorum.

Don't make me come over there.

You might have well given that answer, as he's marking your correct ones wrong.

i am not liking my chances with question 14

if question 14 is an ace i win if it is a fail i lose

It's very sad. Warne was a rough one-of-the-guys for ever. Now he's a pussy-whipped wimp. Okay, he's healthier, and probably happier and he'll live longer. But is that enough when you no longer have the respect of the boguns.

These are changes I am aware of since he met her. Happy to accept others you have observed.

Weight Loss
Smooth forehead
Crow's feet gone
Teeth whitened
Hair style
Hair colour
Smarter clothes
Earring gone
Waxed eyebrows

I'm not allowing lip gloss or orange skin, cos he always did those.

Think MintTrav's put it on the long finger

I bought a koi carp just to check your answers Boshi and Smashedagain. Will let you know after Q10 whether you're right.

Goddamn Central American question, I flicked through 5 of the possible answers before settling on an incorrect jobby. Gahhhhh

OBJECTION!!!

Tidier is totally CORRECT!!!  Fuck sake!  He has to pluck his eyebrows, wears nicer clothes, lost weight, has whiter teeth and sorted his hair.  How the fck is that NOT TIDIER?!

You should have gone for one of those then, instead of a vague cover-all.

The only good thing that came out of that school trip to St Malo is, (cough) years later, I get an RSQ ace!

Also, he is tidier.

Whale with clothes, right?

(cue image of whale in a suit)

while we wait here is a true story

Postman Pat's Last Day:

It was Postman Pat's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same villages and towns.

When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family there, who all hugged and congratulated him and sent him on his way with a cheque for £50.

At the second house they presented him an 18-carat gold watch.

The folks at the third house handed him a bottle of 15-year old Scotch whisky.

At the fourth house he was met at the door by a dumb blonde in her lingerie. She took him by the arm and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced.

When they went downstairs, the blonde fixed him a full English breakfast: Bacon, Eggs, Sausage & Tomato with freshly squeezed orange juice. As she was pouring him a cup of
steaming coffee, he noticed a quid coin in the saucer.

'All this was just too wonderful for words,' he said, 'but what's the quid for?'

'Well,' said the dumb blonde, 'Last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day and that we should do something special for you'. 'I asked him what I should give you'. He said, 'F**k him. Give him a quid.'

She smiled shyly and said, 'The breakfast was my idea.'

There is no doubt he's tidier but, as demonstrated by Laxie in her objection, that's a bit of everything innit?

I was merely pointing out that if those others were accepted, then my answer should be accepted too as it encompasses any one of them if you were feeling the need to go that route.

7. A change in Shane Warne's appearance since he took up with Liz Hurley

He's tidier.

Sounds fair to me.

THANK YOU!!! 

That's THREE of us who think mine is an ACE!

technoilog says it's an Ace too...if he knows what's good for him.

So that's FOUR of us!!!

4 of us

ok 5

If Speedy the QM had asked for an element of his appearance that had changed, it'd be wrong. He didn't ask that though.

Jellyfish was also correct, not for that question, obviously.

In an attempt to make my life worth living; please allow this.

Don't ruin your objection ffs.

is it always this controversial?

It's ok...he agreed obv.

Nah, it's usually far worse. 

Usually quicker though.

Tal only said he is tidier - even I said that. That doesn't make it specific.

Tell you what - anyone else agree? I didn't think it was specific enough but, if people think it is, I'll allow it.

That was my point!

This is a tame night really.   rotflmfao

Anyone ELSE?!  How many do you need?!  We've already got 5 who fkn agree!

Tal said jellyfish, not tidier.

i agree with laxie and 14 people on my facebook have also agreed

I'll have to rework the scores now. Luckily I didn't do them in the first place.

laxie you owe me one on question 14

Take your time.  Hopefully the Mayans were right.

I DISAGREE!  ;ifm;

make sure you remark question 14 as a 1 pointer for me i need to win this i will buy you a pint

he was never my type. Does he TIUTB?

Just logged in - htf did herbie have UTG+3 lol - we must be on same wavelength lol

fml i am in 2nd with an ace for question 14 to come

Christ, how much further?

You could grow our tobacco first and still have time to get back before we reach Q14...

you wont win if you help me ace question 14

Very much this.

If you do win, please just do 10 questions. 

I wish I did.

Just popping out to run the Berlin Marathon.  Should be back before the reveal's finished.  It's only going to take me 3 hours 45 minutes.  It also starts on Sunday morning...

i will do 8 as there will be too much farce

I'm watching Justin Timberlake recite a poem about golf to the sound of a school orchestra playing "Land of my Fathers".

This is still more surreal.

you will have time for a run along the great wall of china

Is that the 84-year old, Justin Timberlake?

He's certainly under 100

he is wooden so could be a tree

skippy, it was Ruby Walsh who lost his spleen, not McCoy.

What was Jeremy Beadle missing?

He had a smaller hand, but a hand nonetheless.

And I'm pretty sure Tanni Grey Thompson  isn't missing anything - unless anyone knows better?

beedle is a fail although he was missing a brain

tanni isnt missing anything she is a paraplegic

Can we step it up a bit please? I've got to take the pups for a walk and I'm worried about arthritis setting in.

Rofl, wish i could read. TBF was done after a 24 hour vegas session. I'm baaaaaaaaaaaad

Thought someone would have gone for:

How is beadle a fail? Missing fingers obv

Bloody OBJECTION!

People googled the Olympics question ffs.

He's dead and probably well decomposed, so he's probably missing more than that now as well to be fair.

Didn't think of Gordon Brown, tbf.

Low scoring has to be good for the leaders. Can't remember what's still to come, but need some big scores to stand a chance of being shot at for three hours setting the next quiz

Agree completely.  No way, no how, were all those randomly 'known' to people on here.

Apparently he had a kidney removed in 2004, so you're good.

Race Walking.

 ;applause;

Same points as mine but a brilliant answer

The Bourne Identity has just started on ITV2. Should just get the trilogy watched before the reveal's finished.

Race-walking was dropped in 1928 for one Olympics.

ice hockey was surely only ever a winter sport

I didn't see any race walking this year. And I pretty much watched the Olympics from start to finish

and tug of war used to be an olympic sport it no longer is so has to have been dropped at one point

Ice-hockey was in the Summer Olympics before there was a Winter Olympics.

there was some i saw it

http://www.olympic.org/content/the-ioc/commissions/olympic-programme/past-olympic-sports/ (http://www.olympic.org/content/the-ioc/commissions/olympic-programme/past-olympic-sports/)

Tug-of-War isn't a sport. It is a Track & Field event.

i can only remember one reveal going past midnight this could be the 2nd

and third.

Tug-of-war was always contested as a part of the track and field athletics programme, although it is now considered a separate sport.

So it wasn't an Olympic sport. Glad you agree.

Excuse me, but OBJECTION!!!

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

It was there in 88 and 92 but didn't come back again until 2000.

looking at your link power boating? my goodness i havent even heard of some of them sports

it was in the olympics and is now a seperate sport

Demonstration sports don't count.

I know! Anyone speak French? Wtf is Jeu de paume? And Pelote basque?

I cba to Google, so in return will give kudos to epic knowledge...

Your question clearly stated name a sport.  You did not specify demonstration sport or medal sport, therefore my answer is good!!!

Lol. I run good. I only put it because I couldn't remember seeing any. So I basically luckboxed it

ouch

incidentally, demonstration sports still receive medals, they just don't count towards the final medal table.

weird

it was a sport but wasnt offically in the olmypics

Yes it was.

I'm taking that applause back

Here we go again. Any support for Laxie and her demonstration sport?

Yes. Spousal duty.

YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY!!!  YOU SAID SPORT.  No mention of medal or demonstration in the OP so the answer is GOOD!!!

oh yeah me too i am counting on her support for next question

You don't count.

Now you know how it feels to be a demonstration sport.

epic level

but I support Laxie also

i have just asked on facebook 26 people agree with laxie

My answer was rugby union, was the answer that's been grouped with mine rugby, or rugby union?

If it was just rugby, then that's not a sport as it encompasses several sports, and isn't a correct answer same as tug of war.

RACISM!!!

I've backing from ruud and Iron.  He can ban yer arse if ya don't give me what's right and fair due to your poorly worded question.

Does anyone feel sorry for tightend. He spat his dummy at Laxies marking last week and has been following this reveal all night long :(

Tae kwon doe isn't a demonstration sport.

ffs Andy Overton has given birth during the course of this reveal.

He just played it safe.  Knew there'd be carnage this week.

who and is it proof that my question 14 is an ace

I was just going to allow it until you posted that.

It's might have been previously, but it isn't now and it was dropped from the Olympics.

So it satisfies the remit of the question, as you didn't say it had to be a full medal sport when it was dropped - just that it was dropped (it was), and it's a sport at the Olympics (it is).

It was in the years she quoted.

I might be joining him!

not sure he that way inclined

Read above.

It can't have been dropped if it wasn't in. So the question is whether a demonstration sport is an Olympic sport.

i need a smoke come on lets have 14 now so i can object please

WTF?!  You know it's correct, I've got backing and you threaten to fail it anyway?!  Unreal.

Unders or overs on my marathon time on Sunday compared to the length of this reveal?

unders ainec

I can hear teeth grinding. Doesn't bode well for our next APAT meet-up.

No.

Demonstration sports can be dropped from the Olympics.

It was dropped.

It's now an Olympic sport.

You didn't state that these two things had to run in parallel.

You'll be able to complete the reveal then.

Coming soon...

Scunthorpe Utd travel to Portsmouth this weekend don't they

Bad news, guys...

I haven't forgotten the disallow of congealed blood. Travesty.

Okay Dawn, you slip another one in.

I'll redo the scores.

Shall we chop it?

Getting late.

Gatso could have run a marathon from the start of the reveal till now.

I'm still about 20 minutes from the end...

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii - good Lad.  You know it makes sense.  

PS  I made ya sweat out congealed because you were winning anyway.  

RSQ ICM calculator at the ready...

thats what got me my first dose of question 14

I hope he's sweating blood currently.

wow just had a smoke and still no question 14

Now I'm craving chips. Cheers.

Oi MintTrav, you haven't answered my rugby objection.

Sweetman, make sure you win this by more than six or Dublin is going to be a long trip.

Think he meant man with a white beard (might be mistaken).

i am winning this with all my aces

Rugby is rugby, innit? What's the difference? You and your koi have been whaled.

load of carp

So funny. I was thinking exactly the same.

There will be no jellyfish based discussion on the Ryanair flight lol

i cant believe you are carving this up already

No, there are two sports that come under the term rugby. Rugby league and union. In fact there is 7s rugby too. Only rugby union was dropped.

If you whale them, then tug of war is a correct answer.

Do you know any biochemists who could verify what "keeps its genetic material" means?

How does rugby encompass several sports? You mean Union & League? That's not several.

If Union is the only one that has been in the Olympics, then abbreviating it to Rugby is acceptable in my book.

Yours must be expecting a telegram from the queen imminently...

To be fair to him, he knows I'm the sort of person to let these things go.

There isn't one sport, there are several - rugby union and rugby league as well as 7 s variations. Nothing up with that sentence, something up with the quiz master's comprehension though.

Do you know any who could verify what ''certain to be eaten as plankton during one of it's transformations'' means?

You sure will let this go....

I'm starting to suspect a conspiracy.

i have the support of the whole of my facebook

If you let Ironside have this one, then you need to whale him with technolog because it's the same thing imo.

I'd let 'em have it too, but then, who am I to say?  

No one said that!

How about I don't get the points but you accept I'm right?

(Unbelievable generosity because he needs this to wrap up shortly, as he never makes Day 2...)

ok thats pregancy passes i will accept a whale with children

Is that it?

That is what you've been building up to? What you drafted earlier and had ready to paste in? I thought there would be more to it.

It's standard practice to question the QM's questions ffs.  Not our fault you worded them the way ya did making it dog easy for us to pick at them.

Okay, pregnancy accepted.

what more you need its trasmitted via sex and causes illness which makes it a diesease

wohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I was still editing it, adding sevens as well as a variation. But thanks for the support.

get in there boss

Excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, but he's RIGHT!  Have you ever been pregnant?!  I don't think so, but you can be fecking sure it's not a picnic.

Pubic lice are (medically, I hasten to add) the same as children. They are parasites, not diseases.
