To smouse re oddbods quiz

[Pebbles]

I noticed you said you had found a pattern to some of the Oddbods songs from musicals. Without giving away any answers (wouldn't like to upset bthbn) Can you hint at the pattern.

Thanks as always.

[bthbn]

Are you kidding me paddy? Small quiz v national newspaper??? hmmm you tell me.

[shaneystar2]

It's as broad as it is long ..as I have said before ...you can send in an entry for a crossword to win mega money with help from AB or you can send in a Quiz to win pennies with help from AB. It's the luck of the draw who wins .The quiz setters get their money for charitable causes whoever wins .Thats life ..and if you have nothing better to do than be a misery over people who help one another than that is pretty sad .Get a life Beth for God's sake .....we are all dust in the end .You make such a mountain out of a molehill all the time .

[bthbn]

NO Shaney,

you are wrong. Some people put hours into quizzes for answers to be given away on here.

You choose not to see a problem. There IS a huge problem.

I can never stop it, but at least I can say it's happening.

No matter what the quiz someone will give the answer.............it renders most "quizzes" defunct.

Let's have a lottery!!!! Yippee!

[shaneystar2]

Huge problem ?
Yes .....You !!

[bthbn]

What a stupid answer Shaney!

How odd.

[shaneystar2]

You always have to resort to insult Beth . Stupid .....?

Not so stupid as to realise that you are paranoid !

The most stupid remark I have ever seen regarding something that should be a a bit of fun and a hobby ....and I quote from your previous post....
"I will maintain until my death, that this site is a CHEAT "
Yes ....I can just imagine that as they give you the last rites ....you will still be moaning !! :))
Give it a rest for gawds sake ..it's supposed to be the summer ...have a break ...chill out ...you can resume normal service in September !

[smouse]

I do google for hours if you must know and I hope I answer as many as I ask. We only have your word that you are not just taking everyones answers so let it drop now

[paddywak]

beth you cann't have it both ways, it doesn't matter if it's for the express �1000 crossword or a couple of pints in a pub quiz .You either do it all yourself, or by your own definition it's cheating. So miss goodie two shoes as soon as you posted a question for crossword answers you became a cheat just like the rest of us.

[bthbn]

I and the world and his dog are taking answers from this site.

No need to work...........the MOST difficult question will turn up here.

It's WRONG. Small quizzes cannot compete.......it really IS now a lottery.

You ALL have me pegged as bad, but take one moment and ask how you'd feel in setting a quiz...........you think and KNOW you have a couple of "tie-break" questions...........only to see them answered here time after time.

Then knowing you can't give the prize to ANYONE, you must hold a LOTTERY.............go buy a ticket all of you cheaters.

[bthbn]

Paddy you clearly don't have a clue.....................

[paddywak]

I've enough clues to have won the Express �1000 before I even knew of this site, but that's not the point beth, you're a cheat just like the rest of us, you just don't like to admit it, obviously you just like to think you are better then the rest of the ignorant peasants. It's a poor person who is ashamed to admit that he or she has to ask for help every now and then and a miserable so & so who's not prepared to give others a hand if they need it.

[shaneystar2]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........Ooooh I was asleep ...what was that ? A lottery ? Did I win ? Whooopee !
Large drinks all round ....large gin for me and Beth will have her usual .....sour grapes :)

[bthbn]

Ha ha Shaney,

Sure you feel jolly clever for that, but no doubt it's for your "audience" on the "other" site.!!!

How brave and clever you are!

However, take one minute to see what I am saying. Some people ask almost EVERY question on a quiz.............fair? I don't think so, you've just done their quiz............

Plus it means we all submit identical answers..............back to my lottery argument.

[gen2]

bthbn, I am in the process of compiling a quiz for a charity, and yes, many hours of work go into it. The purpose is to raise money for the charity - the more people that enter the quiz, the more the charity gains. It is just a method of fundraising that is (should be) fun for all.

Do you think that before this site was created, every entrant worked on their answers in isolation? Of course not. I can remember for many years colleagues would bring charity quizes in to work - not to sell, but to ask for help getting answers. Family and friends did likewise. The social interaction is part of the fun of doing the quiz, and without that, fewer people would participate. Sites like this just extend the scope of that interaction.

When I enter such quizes, it is to give a donation and the quiz part of it makes it a fun way to donate and maybe biases me as to which charity gets my small change (After all, we are not talking donations of thousands of pounds).

I don't enter to win, just for the enjoyment.

Everyone of course has their own moral standards but where do you draw the line? Should an entrant not even discuss answers with his/her husband/wife/partner?
It is a question of scope and I say let everyone make up their own mind and stick to their own conscience without dictating what others should or should not do.

At the end of the day, it is just a fun way of raising money and if "The Rainbow Quiz" is anything to go by, the funds raised have soared as the use of the internet has increased (Over �13,000 was raised by the last one - the 29th over 15 years).

Lrt your motto be "Live and let live"

[bthbn]

Very long post Gen,

Seriously didn't read it all.............

I'll echo here what I'm saying in the other post...............some people should be named and shamed for asking almost EVERY question on EVERY quiz they do..............they know who they are, if it doesn't stop I shall point it out to everyone................although frankly I'm shocked it hasn't been spotted already...............this person should REALLY do some work for themselves.

[gen2]

Oh well, If you have a closed mind on the matter and are not prepared to read another point of view, there's no point in any further participation by myself.

Goodnight

There's none so deaf as those who will not hear

[paddywak]

Well said Gen, I've seen times when everybody in the pub or at work has been doing the same quiz and different answers have been flying all over the place.Beth is missing the point of a quiz like Group Therapy ,which is to raise as much money as possible for the different charities involved, while having a bit of fun not to boost somebodies ego by letting them brag in the pub that "I won ". Anyway I think everybody knows what I think on the subject so I'm going to take Max for a walk now it's stopped raining and when I get backI think I'll post a cheat for the "Children of Fiji"

[evsajo]

bthbn, you keep threatening to "name and shame" well for goodness sakes do it.In the great scheme of things is someone asking for help with an answer so bad? I do lots of charity quizzes and never buy them expecting to win, it's a more fun way of giving to charity. Can I also point out AB helps quizzes. I know the person who set the Whittington Cricket Club quiz so I offered to advertise it on here for him. He is overwhelmed with the response and where all the requests have come from.Do you think he is borthered if anyone asks for help? NO of course not he just wants as much money as possible for his charity. GET A LIFE.

[smouse]

Yes I sold �80s worth of the body quiz for the everychild charity on someone elses behalf and they are over the moon and they watch this site now and smile when we get stuck!
