OMG, what have we done?

GL creating a spreadsheet for that farce pile of utter crap !!

You can see the car crash coming, but you just can't look away.

Irene, I think you might actually spontaneously combust during this reveal.

(http://www.prosperityforlife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Scottish-100-Pound-Note.jpg)

Won't need a spreadsheet as she'll only get 4 entrants.

Anyway, less talking from you and more hanging your head in shame plz. Can't QM for buttons

i aint got a clue


and thats got nothing to do with the rsq i just havent got a clue in general

I blame girgy.

You need to give a pass or two btw. They're there so if someone doesn't know a q they can still enter. Eg I've barely even heard of charmed nevermind watched it. I certainly don't know who the people you're after are.  And name a fairground ride I can do. Dunno wtf a robinsons fairground ride means.

Micky Mouse money is not accepted!!

2.   Name a popular method of Elizabethan torture (This is begging people to google)
3.   Name one of the sisters from the t.v series Charmed (A TV series from about 10 years ago that was not very popular?)
4.   Name a non fiction book by Tom Clancy (Not a clue about any of his books, aint RSQ's supposed to be easy questions?)
5.   Name one of the 10 biggest worldwide potato producers in 2006 (I have no idea)

All points will be awarded depending on how funny the answer is... (This is so far from what a RSQ should be,total fail)

Reverse RSQ Part

2.   Name a Robinsons fairground ride (never heard of Robinsons)
5.   Name a slang term for having sex  (is it obligatory to have a sex question in these now?)

I may sound a stig in the dump but these just aint for me, I just want a quiz type RSQ without all the bollocks that's crept in.

Best question there is............

GIRGY'S TIE-BREAKER QUESTION

There are 12 coins/notes in circulation in the UK. 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p,50p £1, £2, £5, £10, £20 and £50. If you add them all up they total £88.88.
Give me a figure in £'s by using only 11 of the coins/notes stated above.

Wouldn't a quicker way of asking this question be: pick one of these coins/notes?

Middle bit needs to go yeah. Not entirely sure what its purpose is.

As for Girgy's tie breaker... so ambiguously worded. Is it basically a random number from 1-12 or can we use the same coin more than once, eg, 11p. Either way. It's rubbish Girgy. Can't believe you were desperate to pm and get that question in lol.

No no no noooo

You have to use 11 seperate units and add them all up to give a figure.

So it's basicallly choose a number from 1-12?

What was Charmed? Is it still on?

Was a US programme that ran from 98-06 about some witches that aired here on channel 5 apparantly. This is according to wikipedia. This doesn't count as research. I have no intention of entering if I cannot pass this question.

ok well I need to pass it. Never heard of it. A remake of Bewtiched?

An insect is an animal.  A human is an animal.  A reptile is an animal.

This isn't a RSQ.

For that reason, I'm out.

Get rid of the middle section and allow some passes plz :D

Oh dear this looks like the end of RSQ again for another Year!

PMSL!!!!

Going just I had planned wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

So you lot just want a standard quiz eh...well why the feck didn't you say something..I'm nothing if not reasonable ;oDD Plus I had a cracking post 5am kip and as a direct result I am feeling much more benevolent today...

FWIT the middle section had nothing to do with providing facts, it was purely there to save my sanity during marking..gotta have something to laugh at right!! Plus you lot are very funny posters so was your time to shiiiiiineeeee..though apparently not in this case so it's ooooooot...though if that's going then I don't see why Girgy's question should stay so thats oooot also!!!

Sex question..well, as I'm new to RSQ and as no-one told me the rules I had to go by previous questions so I presumed it was the norm...will also amend so as not to offend...

K - I'm off to amend the orig post then onto proper life for the day..will catch up with your interesting thoughts when I get back...amendments will be complete by 1.30pm today (speedy eh!!)

fwiw I'm going for the under on 4 entrants btw so the scoring will should be easy ;oD

Addendum - BLAME GIRGY!!!!

xx
'

WTF is this. As bad as the quiz was at least pretend to stand your ground before finally relenting under the pressure. Don't just agree to change it.

*Sigh. I guess you guys are just not ready for me yet..on the upside I'll never have to do another fecking RSQ so every cloud eh ;)

Amendments in place

RSQ48 is now officially the EASIEST RSQ in RSQ history EVA

Fill yer boots

Much better. Should have left the sex question imo. That said, you've replaced it with a question with epic farce potential so that's fine too :)

oh good god...I predict carnage and mayhem for this one. 

Far better now you've changed every question.

;)

Oh no.

Plz Ban Trip5.

There's even a spelling error in the Thread Title.

Don't let this happen, she's so bad.

You should be delighted.  We forced her to take out the Tikay section of her questions.  All sorts of rubbish about manbags and wigs and the like.  Shocking stuff. 

GG you forcing TRIP5 to do ANYTHING. TRIP5 is female.

Have not got a scooby WTF this is all about but I like a quiz so I will go for..........
 Aspades C5      v         Kd Kc

Am I close??
 ;hattip; ;karabiner;

Please could you allow a pass.

So it's you that wakes Tikay ;)

Isn't a reverse RSQ just a SQ?

*sulks* not playing unless i get a pass. 

Out of respect to my latex loving QM - I have submitted my answers.....

Q4? I don't know one female who reads Tom Clancy.

Apart from QM, obv.

erm.  i looked at the questions earlier and got as far as the 'charmed' one.  it's not even there anymore!

They've all been changed, so now it's at least playable.

That what I like a bit of spirit - you tell em Girl !!!! ;nanana;

 ;yellowcard; ;yellowcard; ;yellowcard;

Now that's sorted, get yer feckin answers in...I don't see why you should escape!!!!!

Repeated for the fecking ancient

MY RSQ = MY SPELLING

Answers please or GTFO

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

You and Sky Poker have a lot to answer for tikay.

Girgy and Trip5 sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G

Bradford, Poker..a natural couple I think

Congratulations both

Still not got over the 'honeycomb doesn't have holes' fiasco I see...

I know. I feel so bad about this.

As punishment, you should have to send in some answers imo.

Hmm. Seems fair.  Carry on, as you were.

I don't feel THAT bad.

erm... NO!!  not having "RSQ 49 everything you never wanted to know about trains!"

But the spreadsheet mayhem would be imense!!

So...... weathers nice for the time of year, isnt it Tighty?

Pic of boobs before I commit to anything kthnx!!

someone post that pic of bongos arse again pls

The middle bit in the original quiz before the edit got a lot of hate.

Would just like to say that while I wasn't a fan myself (I didn't see too much oppurtunity for good original comedy within the parameters you'd laid out) I support innovations such as that in principle.

Translation = unbridled tosh of the highest order.

VOICE OF REASON!!!!!!

TANK FOR QM ;)

Still here...Still no FECKIN answers!!!!!

(http://media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/Yermo77/ManBoobs.png)

I can touch my own moobs!! FFS

The thing that Tikay will most dislike about this picture is the spelling, lol.

Epic thread Irene!

No idea what an RSQ is and now I have no desire to find out, ever.

It's lovely to be able to put photos up & not wait 12 hours to see them, eh?! ;)

My RSQ = My Spelling

Clearly I have no idea what an RSQ is either...

So get yer answers in yer feckin WUSS pffffffffft

Dunno about that but being able to swear is FECKIN brillaint ;)

Special misspelling if brillaint (twice) just for you dear...enjoy your cocoa

Fecking 9...

It's gonna be okay...HONEST

How can you now allow a pass if people have already entered FFS?

Hardly fair that those people will lose out.

FARCE

LOL! I added a pass when I changed the questions

Wanna resubmit yours with a pass...fine...looking at your answers it can only help you ;oDD

xx

When I submitted mine you stated in your OP that there were NO passes.  So you've changed it since.

I'll pass on the Fairground one please then.

EXCELLENT CHOICE ;)

In

You have a lot to live up to after my completely succesful quiz this week.

inb4 gatso passes on Q3 then insists you fail everyone because there's no such channel

xx

Oooh thnx for the reminder!! I not entered in your yet!!

Don't you fecking dare...you're not even here for the reveal..plus it's 150% your fault that i'm in super meltdown!!!!!

xx

I had to do it on my own without a spreadsheet, I still have not recovered.  The idea of the game is to make sure you do not win it!!!!

Danger is eminent?

What?

If Mere sees that, you are so dead.

No worries, I won't tell him.

 rotflmfao  He's on thread now.  I reckon you've him set to speed dial.

As I didn't suffer the misfortune of seeing the original questions, I assume that I'm disqualified.

Please say "Yes".

Very definitely a "NO!" to that one.  Nice try and see you at the reveal.

I would imagine the poor chap is mortified, that spelling error might just tip him over the edge.

If that spelling error doesn't do it for him, tomorrow night's reveal most certainly will.

PS  Shouldn't you be out sock shopping today?

As someone who corresponds a good deal with Merenovice, may I suggest you do NOT let him enter.

You must trust me on this. If he was ever the QM, you'd all regret it. For a long time.

Irene has destroyed it, Mere would bury it.

Explain the whoosh, please?

Was watching the Sky live feed at the week-end.  Black with green tips?  Seriously?  Oddly, my internet crashed just after the close up of your socks was aired.

Oh, I seeee.

They are colour-coded, green is "Saturday". It says so, on the bottom of them.

Black socks with sky blue tips, I think (vlose up of you with shoes off on the live feed during the final)

I turned away from the feed for a few minutes at that point


Do NOT ask Laxie who she thought you were sitting next to at Luton, and what she did next.

Oh gawd...pleeeeeeeeease don't!   rotflmfao

Who (or is it "whom"?, in case Mere is on thread) did you think I was sat next to?

My pub quizzes used to be very well received.
I never once suffered physical injury in several years of setting and asking the questions.

I'm not intending to respond to comments about the spelling on this thread - my life insurance has just lapsed.

Never you mind.  I had a 'ding' moment.  Foot firmly planted and all. 

And in. Almost forgot :)

Excellent decision Vince....

(http://www.guy-sports.com/fun_pictures/poor_spelling.jpg)

now, is there any chance of yer helpin me with the fecking spreadsheet..or are you happy to watch me crash and burn!!! Wait, don't answer that!! ;)

xx

Never knowingly off-message, me.

Something is wrong with my computer...everytime i log onto Blonde I have more FECKIN answers in mi inbox

I think this is a fault!

As a RSQ virgin is it sad to be looking forward to my first reveal night?

Can I enter when I get home a 12 pwetty pwease? X

She's new at this...of course you can!!!

LOL!

Pick on the newbie eh...As I can't seem to find yer answers in mi inbox, i'll have to save my imaginery penalty until next time i'm never QM ;)

This is sooooooooooooo gonna go like clockwork-ish

xx

Yes!

What ever you think this is, it's going to be worse, much worse so I would just give it up as a bad job now and withdraw your answers...that way i might have more of a chance v the spreadsheet of death...

xx

Will you accept a late entry from RobertHM if he posts his answers here in the thread?

ONLY if he post's his answers on the thread...that way we can all enjoy em ;)

limbering up


I am available on thread tonight, should the masses wish to avail of my services to abuse the no doubt pathetic QM

Our recent experience of Bradford folk is not encouraging


YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svHUjuWtb_0

I already have all my supplies ready for what I forsee as being one of the most tragically bad rsqs we'll ever have.

Has potential

Probably, however the professionalism of the reveal is gonna be second to none!!

If I can simul-rail 5 tables I should be able to handle one poxy spreadsheet right...

xx

So, you got MereNovice to do the Spreadsheet, then?

I wish.....I fear he may be hiding from me ;)

xx

fs. I'm sat here ready for the action and just looked at OP and it says 8.30. What's that all about?

The QM wants to quit smoking.

About time Eileen

grt start!

Onjections or we move on

This is going well ;)

Objections to anything found on the plate.

Objection

Different types of potatoes are a whale answer


Objection

Roast Potatoes not traditionally served with lamb


Objection

Sheep scores should be lambs


thanks

Move on swiftly plz!!

Thought about it....Over ruled

Any More

Objection

Yorkshire pudding is a beef dish component, never lamb

Fail!

Going well so far.

Come on Eileen

Oh rly?

92 seconds late by my reckoning.

Do buck up.

err why?

You say served WITH a roast lamb dinner. You're not asking for part of a roast lamb dinner. So stuff such as mint sauce, pepper, wine, etc is fine. They are served as accompinaments to the dish without being part of the dish itself.

But shes from yorkshire so im guessing a yorkie pud is pretty much served on any roast dinner!!

You weren't wrong were you Mr tighty about your mood!

Considered at time of marking...overrulled..In Yorkshire we have Yorkshire pudding with anything..stew, chicken, lamb...shall we move on

A potato is a potato, however cooked

I ask you to reconsider, and whale these similar answers

tikay on an RSQ thread. You're highly honoured Irene Eilleen.

No. Answer my objection.

With does not mean at the side of....

Still overruled

However Yorskhire is but one minor county in the British Isles

I ask you to reconsider and suggest that in the vast majority of the country Yorkshire puddings are not serrved with Roast Lamb

Why have you failed lamb then?

gr8 answer!!

An egg is an egg no matter how cooked..however the cooking changes the outcome

Still Overruled

Moving on then? Scores?

but you are wrong. The key issue here is the base food not the cooking style

I must insist you re-consider. It is most distressing.

He's here to watch me spontaneously combust...not gonna happen though-ish

Because a lamb roast dinner is not served with lamb..it IS the lamb otherwise it would just be a lamb and lamb dinner...two lambs in one dinner is ridic

Ask away..not going to happen though

Moving on...

But potatoes, carrots, etc are the roast lamb dinner. You didn't ask for things served with roast lamb. You asked for things served with a roast lamb dinner.

Why?

I must respectfully disagree. I don't think lamb is a fail, personally

What if you have second helpings?  That is lamb with lamb.

have to agree with CF here.  you didn't say 'served with lamb in a roast lamb dinner', so therefore you either have to fail everything that comes on the plate, or let the lamb through.  let the lamb through, obv.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to object here. But just listen to the following clip and pass my answer please.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I

ACE!!

Objection. that isn't a fail. How can it be? They are and were awful, much underperforming. Tourture perfectly sums it up

Answered and overruled...lamb is staying a fail

She's obviously never heard Ironside sing...or run a RSQ before.  Both ACES imo.   rotflmfao

thank you Girglemeister. We both think Eileen is wrong

WHAT?!?!  OBJECTION!!!

The Iron Maiden was a massive torture device.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_maiden_%28torture%29

She was right about the Yorkie puds tho!

THANK YOU!!!!

Surprised the people who have gone for humourous answers have been failed tbh. You said youself with your orig questions you needed a laugh to help keep your sanity through all this. I thought I was doing you a favour with going with the lady gaga answer (which is torture!!) rather than my original answer of the water dripping method. And I get failed for my thoughtfulness. Not impressed.

Objection to all fails EXCEPT for RSQ

Fails 11 Points   
Trafficlight   Cigarette Burning



Not a fail



Threatening family members is not a fail either



We are in for a long night. Yet another QM with a stubborn streak and half a brain.

The question was name a POPULAR method of torture...

All the fails are subjectively annoying but not as the question requested a POPULAR method of torture

and how on earth is Iron Maiden a fail - sort it out!!!!!

I agree

QM being two faced, now trying to run a serious quiz

Lady Gaga plays POPULAR music.

Fair enough..thought you meant the band (I say band in the loosest sense of the word)

12k watch Bradford so pretty popular club!!

An Iron Maiden and cigarette burning are definitely popular.

There are lots of Bradford fans.

There are millions of people who consider Lady Gaga's music to be torture also.

lol. best of blonde.

Popular itself is hugely subjective

Its not our fault you chose a bad question, worded wrongly


Is the size of a Bradford City home crowd enough to make something unappealing and tortuous popular within the context of this question? I would suggest so

why would they mean the band rather than the torture device in answer to that question?!

farce!

and i'm not shutting up til i get an ace.  that will be a small taste of what it's like to be subjected to ironside's singing.

look away now Eileen


You berk lolol


look back again now

Penalty please!

Popular is completely subjective, yes?

therefore none of the fails are fails, by the wording of your question

You know, this is on youtube...

post as evidence pls

Run to the Hills TRIP5

torture

all time great rsq moment

if i get a fking penalty then i'm retiring immediately!

Sure can be arsed digging it out, go search a blonde bash thread ldo.

Working on it now

I thought I was getting failed because Iron Maiden is not currently a popular method of torture.

Nowadays they tend to go in for cigarette burning and threatning family members.

No no no such abuse is a form of torture

Sorry Eileen I am close to giving up here, you are making this impossible to enjoy, such is your pedantry and stubbornness

if i thought it would make any difference i would, but is suspect we have a very stubborn qm on our hands...

Presumably the QM is fixing the answers and scores.

+10 points for lack of originality in QM abuse

and reconsidering the farcical rule about 10 point penalties for anyone who says farce.

farce.

too stubborn

Unable to admit she might be mistaken


Sad times


Bring back Laxie

lol.  have a good night!

Probably the wrong place to say this but I really like TRIP5's posts, the woman is clearly awesome.

Iron Maiden 2points

Cigarette burning, Threatening family - proof please

GAGA - funny but fail ;)

Absolutely. With the exception of tonight lol

Agreed.

Did you listen to the video clip I posted? You allowed loud music. Turn your volume up to maximum and play it. Then try and tell me it's not torture!

Bradford City?

How can you of all people fail that?

Still subjective...thousands more buy her music..and not just to burn ;)

Thousands of people buy whips, stocks, etc, for purposes other than torture.

Proof please

I offer this not so much as proof, but to lol at the Spartan name for the website

http://www.thisisexeter.co.uk/news/Horrific-torture-attack-man/article-2224475-detail/article.html

LOL! Yes it was total torture for me.....not so much for the PT fans screaming for him to keep his job though

More scoring fails

jj =fail

Alex not sure. fail or ace

After 2 questions I should be on 5 points I believe.

Opening post clearly states where more than 1 answer is the sheep..the sheep will be the new comined score and the fail based upon this score...

Dont know why this wasn't done before tbf...makes perfect sense ;)

And "No Such Chanel" gets 2 pts? Either fail it or ace it. Think you need to fail it though as otherwise every other answer is a fail...

Objection to the erroneous apostrophe in The Sopranos.

People might think it's me wot's done that.

Right. I'm out

See you at the next RSQ folks

she is addling my brain lol

the OP is wrong. It doesn't make more sense. It's a stupid way of doing it. 3 points.

Searched SA for the news and couldnt find it listed

So why have you passed it?

They are 11 point fails..just didnt copy across properly I guess..I did warn you about my spreadsheet ability ;)

Ah good. Now just fix the sheep scores and we can move on.

Rechecking ...

Why are my answers not checked!

Don't do this, the new way is awesome.

Mixing it up in such a manner is a good thing, a good thing indeed.

lol what

2 people say the sopranos so they get 2 pts.
3 people say curb and i get 6 pts? errrr.... that's not how it works.

QMs are obv allowed to put their own twist on their quizzes but no stealth changing the fundamental scoring.

Correct...took the fail off but neglected to add the 2 poins on...updated now for Tommy & Tank ;)

Thank you.  In return I'll let the Gaga thing go.  Still think the burn to enjoy ratio is 5:1 though....

Shouldn't I be on more than 2?

MY decision is final, objections will be listened to prior to being dismissed.
Any utterance or interjection of the word ‘farce’ during reveal will be rewarded with a 10 point penalty – time to be creative!!
You may NOT obtain your answers using google, research, wiki or by any other feckin means including but not exclusively asking your au pair, Austrian builder or favourite masseur.
You may pass ONE question.
Person with the lowest score wins.
Answers will be taken in the order provided.
If there are more than 1 sheep answers, they will be added together to give a new total sheep score which the fail will be based on.

Hang on, I should be on 6 now?!?!?!?  I suggest a thorough look over the spreadsheet.

As if anyone actually read that. It's an RSQ. The fundamental scoring shouldn't be changed. There's no reason to change it either. All you're doing is pissing people off and making sheeps/fails score ridic high.

OOOOOOPPPPPSSSS

SOOOORRYYYYYYYYYYY

Have changed to TrafficJam but cannot accept cigarette burning I'm afraid...Happy to see proof that it's a popular method of torture ;)

eg, let's say 11 people are playing. 2 people each say A, B, C, D, E and 1 person says F. The person who says F gets 1 pt. The rest get 10 pts. Do you not see how ridiculous that is?

Over an hour in, only 3 questions done.  Plus I can't trust any of the scores.  Plus the scoring itself is under question.

Happy days.

Hmmmmmmit doesnt say that the cigarette was the torure..it says that watchng the sister, the caning and the electro shocks were..but as it's in the same article I'll reluctantly sustain ;)

This is true!!!

I currently have 15 version of the spreadsheet at different stages of filter saved...but when I update and refilter it doesnt want to include your updates..I am working on this ;)

It's quarter to ten and we're still on question 3. Is this a new record?

http://chinaview.wordpress.com/2007/03/29/list-of-china-modern-torture-methods-photo/

Feeling yer pain..luckily there are not that many of them..you can change it back next RSQ but if I change it now we'll literally be here til Thursday!!!

Rules is rules and I'm sure I said not to let me...it was always gonna be a carcrash ;)

Cmon ffs!!

I apologise guys!!

Wait til Tighty gets hold of you.  He's had to go lie down for himself over the stress of it.

So v tempted to cooler ban you. This is your fault.

Going as expected, I see.

Question was name a type of British potato

All of the above could be from anywhere...

Why is there an evil sounding robot doing the voice over work for this channel 4 lily allen thing?

Im starting to like Tuesdays!! Just binked my second DTD £300 seat in as many weeks!! Gonna give this one to mama g for mothers day :D

Fair enough...but it is listed as British even though the description is Irish!!

erm, the scoring is all wrong there.

A rollercoaster not so much a fairground ride and more of a place for conferences and meetings?

How is exactly is roillercoster a fail?

even village green fairgrounds have kiddies ones....


Off again now, carry on

Erm..kay then..i'll post the scores..you tell me what they should be and i'll update...SIMPLES wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Though as there are 9 walt[]ers the fail is still 14

That would be awesome.

No. The fail is the highest score (8) + 5. Scoring is simply:

Sheep answer - 1 pt
Others: Number of answers in sheep - number of answers + 1
Fail: highest score + 5

I came in late, read this first. Even I can win a game where you just tell the QM what scores you want. Arcfe.

Is rollercoaster a fail though?

If so, can you tell the Gypsys to give me my tokens back!

Fail is total high score plus 5

9 + 5 I get to 14...confused!!

Who cares moving on?

What rollercoasters...really..proof and i'll change it, I've never had a rollercoaster at any fair i've ever been to...only at themeparks...

I have to be up at 6.15 tomorrow Eileen!

The highest score is Merry Go Round with 8. 8 + 5 = 13.

TBF I've seen plenty of mini ones at the fair.  They don't let me on any more....

At every fair I have ever been to

AHA..I get ya..but I didn't score them like that....remember it'll all change back next week ;)

I scored fail by taking the total number of same answers (even if they were the RRS) and adding 5

Complete nightmare of a farce

What a joke

Please end this modern torture now

Scores after the fairground round are fecked. Girgy had 11 before that round and 11 afterwards.

[ ] Girgy scored 0.

Have i won yet?

Just popped in to see how it was going - sorry popping out agin

Eileen, what are you doing to Mere Novice and his spreadsheeting?

He is normally so efficient

Its not as if you are attempting to do it, is it? Or is it?



Farce.

Will check....possible speadsheet fail after scores updating....

Objection to failing "RSQ" in the earlier torture question.

Evidence: this thread.

It was pleasant to me to enter teh RSQ.  Perhaps I should have found it pleasanter if I had been able to decipher it.  I don't think that I mastered anything beyond the date (which I knew) and the QM  (which I guessed at).  There's a singular and a perpetual charm in this RSQ of yours; it never grows old, it never loses its novelty .... Other RSQ's are read and thrown away and forgotten, but yours are kept forever -- unread.  One of them will last a reasonable man a lifetime.

It's rather good isn't it? She's from Bradford you know.

Overruled. Sleep deprivation would have qualified though.

Correct!

Real QM's don't play ping pong posts, or any other sport that requires you to change clothes.  Mountain climbing is OK, and real QM's wear their climbing boots to work in case a mountain should suddenly spring up in the middle of the reveal.


I have been drinking

WTF why is net a fail?

Acceptable answers: The Net/Net. Tinternet.

The Web/Tinterweb are are fails.

WTF? We're sheep not fails.

Anything which is a shorterning/play on "Web" is a fail - this is slang for the World Wide Web. This is NOT the same thing as the internet. It's merely a program that runs on the internet.

SHARSIES!!!!!

I deserve it!!!!

Ok, so Bread is now a fruit, so my couple of slices of toast in the morning add to my five a day.

Plus how can you whale tinterweb and interweb but not include tinternet.....

I refer you back to the previous music video.

Has everyone noticed that all the letters of the words "Reverse Sheep" (with the exception of the 'p') are typed with the left hand?  Now the layout of the QWERTYUIOP typewriter keyboard was designed, among other things, to facilitate the even use of both hands.  It follows, therefore, that typing answers to farcical questions is not only unnatural, but a lot harder than it appears.

Who is this Montandoo imposter ?

Ok. If you're not taking the shortenings as slang that's fine. But "Tinterweb" is not the sheep - it's a fail. The ONLY acceptable answer you have in this case is "Tinternet".

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

And Tinternet is an ace...not a fail

The difference between a misfortune and a calamity?  If Irene fell into a river, it would be a misfortune.  But if someone dragged her out again, it would be a calamity.

I heard that her favourite phrase is "LSD melts in your mind, not in your hand."

Cite please that an abbreviation cannot also be slang.

Meh whatever. CBA arguing. Too late :)

Well played Girgy. Questions soon please.

The forum which scorns excellence in questions as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in answers because it is an exaulted activity will have neither good questions nor good answers, neither its questions nor its answers will be worth a shit.

No way I won this!

I demand a recount!

FARCE! Theres +10 for starters!

Nothing wrong with net as an answer at all. Laughable. This has probably killed rsq on here. Congratulations to a really bad qm

Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with "net". Girgy was cheated!

Jack has won again - we have a problem

When a shepherd goes to kill a wolf, and takes his dog along to see the sport, he should take care to avoid mistakes.  The dog has certain relationships to the wolf the shepherd may have forgotten.

Does that mean tighty won ?

Net is an abbreviation of internet ..inter and then net

REMEMBER MY LOVLIES!!!!!

Everything you have endured tonight is GIRGY'S FAULT!!!!!

Time to drown my sorrows in 10 bottles of wine ;)

I don't think you can honestly say anyone has won here tonight Sir.

PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU UNPACK THE DEVICE.  YOU ALREADY UNPACKED IT, DIDN'T YOU?  YOU UNPACKED IT AND PLUGGED IT IN AND TURNED IT ON AND FIDDLED WITH THE KNOBS, AND NOW YOUR CHILD, THE SAME CHILD WHO ONCE SHOVED A POLISH SAUSAGE INTO YOUR VIDEOCASSETTE RECORDER AND SET IT ON FAST FORWARD

ps I have been drinking

Oh and Irene don't you feel more like you do now than you did when you started this?

I hope you used my chips wisely Ger!

yep got the seat -- sorry Nellie

Well done x

Yes...I feel like loads more stuff now than I did before...like drinking and smoking and then drinking somemore..all swilled down with 100 cigs

Happy Days ;)

So does anyone have a clue who won???

YOU DID!!!!!

Questions plsssssssss

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...

;)

This is genuinely the worst RSQ in history.

I'm going to have a good, long think as to whether I want to continue with my life.

I hope there's no heaven; I don't even want to view the next RSQ from afar.

Okay. In an effort to resurrect the RSQ, I nominate Kinboshi - best QM of recent times imo.

Is it too late to enter?

Not at all. In fact seeing as you'd have probably won, you can be next QM. Congratulations!

Why would you do this? That said, he's a massive step up from what we've had to endure recently ;)

I've just realised that I've lost my pencil.
Sorry.

So is MereNovice doing the next one?  I tried to keep up...honest.  Even read the last few pages again after a good night's sleep, but it's no clearer. 

WTF?!  Who won and who's doing the next one?

Knew this would be an utter farce.

[ ] Shame I missed the reveal.

Has it finished yet?

Still, we found out what "popular torture" is.

If you need to restore RSQ from it's TRIP5 nightmare, I strongly advise you to invite MerePedant to do it.

We also found out that "the net" is not a slang term for the internet as abbreviations cannot be slang.

I was up three times in the night pacing the floor over this discovery.

I am not sure I could cope with Girgy doing the next one, just yet. technolog also started the downhill spiral with notions of Laxie doing it, which was a disaster


I think we might have to make a mod executive decision or else lose RSQ for ever.

Mod executive decision: tikay to run the next one.

Yeah.  Good luck with that.

Agreed - if I can delegate it to MerePedant.

Excellent!

MereNovice...up for running the next one then?

I'd be delighted to do one but I would hate to tread on anyone's toes.
I certainly couldn't guarantee the entertainment value provided by Irene.

I could do the one after Tikay if that was more appealing to the regulars.

I won't be doing one, as I don't understand how they work, but it's clear they are very popular, or were, pre TRIP5.

You, on the other hand.....

PS - "cannot guarantee the entertainment value provided by Irene".....you are the master of back-handed compliments.

Would you do the next one please?


A traditional, no funny business, intelligent properly scored and sensible quiz?

Get us back on track?

No problem at all but I can't promise intelligent.
Timescales?

thanks

Ideally have some questions up in the next 24 hours, and a reveal say Tuesday next week.


Use the Original post of http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=51423.0 as your guide to correct rules/scoring

 

No problem - looking forward to it.

But don't use that post as a guide as to what makes good RSQ questions!

That's not fair! I enjoy have a dig at previous QM, I needed to, wanted to, had a reason to, felt like it. Can;t think of a reason to needle this one. Going to have to trawl through all his posts now to find hidden reasons.

It shouldn't take you long.
