  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    @Doublethink You do know people are still doing the current quiz until c09:00 GMT on Friday?
  • DoublethinkDoublethink Admin, 8th Day Host
    I wasn’t sure, that’s why I used spoiler tags for the question.
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    That's very trusting of you!
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    I believe it was that same president who said that ketchup qualifies as a vegetable serving.
    I miss the eye rolling emoji.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Celebrity marriages 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • SignallerSignaller Shipmate
    Chinese driveways :(
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    What the heck is that question about driveways relating to???
  • Mavis GrindMavis Grind Shipmate
    And what's this about "things" in the body?

    Who sets these bloody questions anyway?

    (The last time I set a pub quiz nobody could answer the questions. I wasn't allowed to do it again)

    Quite! :confounded:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Well. Someone has to be on the bottom. Might as well be me!!!
  • Mavis GrindMavis Grind Shipmate
    The whole thing is biased against people with arthritic fingers
  • Mavis GrindMavis Grind Shipmate
    If I come bottom on the Bible questions, do I have to walk the plank, be keel-hauled, or something?
  • DoublethinkDoublethink Admin, 8th Day Host
    Nah, you just get to swab the decks first thing for the next couple of weeks.

    That position is usually reserved for me.

    Me neither, lver!!!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I long ago filed it under Life's Little Mysteries. :mrgreen:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    'Murrican sports and exotic pets 😡
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Forgot the mouse question again! Got the sports one right, though 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • PriscillaPriscilla Shipmate
    Forgot the singer☹️
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Well that was a bit rubbish - songs I was too young to remember (yes, really) and ******* 'Murcan kids' TV! :rage:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Guessometer had his work cut out for him today!!!
    Slips Guessometer a $20.

    BTW, is his name pronounced Gess'-oh-meter or Ges-aw'-mehter?? Curious minds, you know.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I always get that sports question wrong. It might help if I watched the film.
  • SarasaSarasa All Saints Host
    That's more like it today.
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Well, phooey.
    Asks Guessometer for change back.

    I would say guess-AW-mehter - to rhyme with barometer.
  • la vie en rougela vie en rouge Purgatory Host, Circus Host
    I assumed it was inspired by the BBC's election night Swingometer (which also rhymes with barometer).
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    That'll do nicely.
  • PriscillaPriscilla Shipmate
    1 correct guess, 1 wrong.

    I'm not sure about that - the Guessometer was the invention of the late and much-lamented Uncle Pete, who was Canadian, and may not have had that much experience of the Swingometer.

    Having said that, it may be the reason I imagined it was pronounced like that.

  • Mavis GrindMavis Grind Shipmate
    It's a good day for me, more by luck than judgement. How am I supposed to know who won the Stanley Cup 21 years ago, especially as none of the options were from Canada?
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    WooHoo!!!! Twenty-five seconds! Fastest time for me ever!!!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    31 seconds for me, which by my standards is pretty good. Not as good as the seven people who were faster than me, but quite good. :mrgreen:
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Ouch! Didn’t read the chemistry answers properly and chose the wrong one.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    American TV 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    @McMaverick Yup, another show that didn't fly on this side of the pond.

    Actually I think it did - I remember watching a couple of episodes before we moved to Canada.

    It was a bit rubbish though ...
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    $#¥! 😡
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    I blame my Covid brain fog!
  • Anna_BaptistAnna_Baptist Shipmate
    Question 10's answer is belied by Question 9. Not that I'm sore because I changed a wrong to a right. And that because I remembered getting this one wrong the last time it came up. I'm missing the Guessometer now I'm banned from using it.
  • SignallerSignaller Shipmate
    Changed a right answer to a wrong one- again :(

    It is, definitely! 🎉
    Quite surprised to be third as I felt I wasn’t doing well in June.

  • agingjbagingjb Shipmate
    I don't ever submit unless I think I've got 10 (mostly not of course). Waste of time at my speed.

    I would like some training in how to reply within a minute. I just cannot read, think, and clink ten times in under 50 secs; nor will I ever be able to.
