My ******* laptop froze halfway through, giving me a time of 114 seconds - it's heading for the dustbin at this rate!

Me too

McMaverick · January 29

Maltese Falcon did for me. Will remember next time! Questions needed reading so slow, too!

McMaverick · January 31

The cat interrupted me part way through! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Piglet · January 31

Time to replace the Guessometer's batteries! 🙃

TheOrganist · January 31

@Piglet Mine too - scuppered by a cartoon bear.

Piglet · January 31

You and me both.

jedijudy · January 31

What type batteries should I get? Guessometer seems to have no juice right now.

The Rogue · February 3

Hmm. Apparently reading the question and possible answers is useful. Who'd of thunk?

TurquoiseTastic · February 5

The Turquosie Rocket came off the rails today courtesy of "celebrity offspring names". Ah well the streak was nice while it lasted!

BroJames · February 5

Likewise!

Anna_Baptist · February 7

Well, that was a great start to the weekend...haven't won a day yet this month - and I'm unlikely to change that today.

I got wrong one of my bogey questions... I remember I always get it wrong, think it's because I choose the obvious answer, so the pick something less obvious -then blithely forget that this is the procedure I follow . I remember I get it wrong but forget why. If I knew when it was coming up I'd put a post-it on the PC screen.

Not how I remember a can of 7 Up…didn’t think it still existed!

Guessometer helped me with that question as I’ve never drunk 7 up in my life. Thought it was a documentary…

TheOrganist · February 8

Blimey - Sunday and I got a full house.

la vie en rouge · February 11

Major failure to read the question

Heavenlyannie · February 11

Yes, that was me too.

Piglet · February 12

Only one second behind Anna B!?! Something not right there!

Anna_Baptist · February 12

I think it's with me: 12 days into February and I haven't won yet

Sarasa · February 13

Bugger, it would really help if I could spell.

Anna_Baptist · February 13

Baptist Watch: Day 13 and I'm still off the pace

TurquoiseTastic · February 13

You're still leading the overall standings AB!

Anna_Baptist · February 14

But not today @TurquoiseTastic! I'm back to chasing you.

TheOrganist · February 14

Phew - I thought I'd lost it completely.

Anna_Baptist · February 14

half a month gone: still no win

May I remind you that some of us go for years without a daily win ?

McMaverick · February 15

Why did I give an answer I knew was wrong?! 🤦

Sarasa · February 15

Today might be the day for that elusive win @Anna_Baptist

Piglet · February 15

I got the right prophet! 🙂

TheOrganist · February 15

I have enough problems with the major prophets ... of course I'm propping up the rest of you.

Anna_Baptist · February 16

Felt great about winning yesterday... but no lap of honour today

Piglet · February 16

******* 'Murcan actresses.

BroJames · February 17

I never remember that surname. The show never crossed the Atlantic.

McMaverick · February 17

Bluddy advert!

Piglet · February 19

Piglet you bloody idiot - read the question!

Anna_Baptist · February 19

Amen, Piglet, Amen

Piglet · February 19

I can't tell you how comforting it is to know that you're fallible, even if you're fallible at twice the speed I am ...

Signaller · February 19

The Flintstones question gets me every time

TheOrganist · February 19

Briefly diverted by a mis-spelling - memo to self, stop nitpicking.

TurquoiseTastic · February 20

Swimming hard to keep a fin in front despite terrible wrong anwer about chain emails...

Anna_Baptist · February 20

I think that's me done for the month

BroJames · February 20

D’oh! Read the question!!

jedijudy · February 20

Completely missed one important word.

Piglet · February 21

Grrrr! Changed a right to a wrong! 😠

TheOrganist · February 21

@Piglet Same here

la vie en rouge · February 22

Baptist Sunday school didn't include the documentary hypothesis

Heavenlyannie · February 22

I didn’t pick the right letter either but don’t have Baptist Sunday School, or any other Sunday School, to blame. Just my own mystification.
