Rubbish As Usual!

[Buenchico]

Another score of 3 for me this week:

Surely you can do better, can't you?

[jakep]

Oh dear, no I can’t, 2 for me!

[Mamyalynne]

5/7

[Buenchico]

Oh well, at least you've not made me feel too bad, Jake ;-)

Thanks for joining in, anyway!

[Baldric]

5, but tbh a couple were lucky guesses.

[Buenchico]

Oh, it look like we're back to the situation where all of our cryptic crossword experts prove that they're rather good at non-cryptic questions too!

Well done, Mamya!

[Buenchico]

I suspect that everyone takes a few guesses, Balders ;-)

Well done, anyway!

[Cloverjo]

1 for me. Pathetic! And I thought I’d read most of those news items.

[TonyV]

3 for me as well feeling deflated lol

[david small]

5, would have gotten 7 but talked myself out of it.

[TonyV]

Cloverjo just not a good day then!

[sandyRoe]

No I can't. 2 for me

[Lie-in King]

5/7, with a couple of guesses

[Buenchico]

Everybody seems keen this evening!

Well done, David. (I often 'talk myself out' of correct answers too!)

Thanks for keeping me company on 3, Tony.

At least you got your score of 1 on a week where it was possible to get zero, Clover, rather than on a week where one of the questions has three correct answers offered for it (and where 1 is then the lowest score that's possible). So you're not a total failure, are you?

;-)

[Prudie]

An insignificant 3 - particularly as I didn't know any of them

[Toorak]

1 - hangs head in shame (again)

[Tilly2]

0/7!
Goodness me. :-(

[Eve]

4 for me.

[Buenchico]

I see that the AB member I consider to possibly be the most 'cultured' person here has only scored 2. That's hardly surprising though, as most of the questions had no connection whatsoever with anything remotely 'cultured' ;-)

Thanks for joining in anyway, Sandy!

Lie-in-King continues to prove my theory that, for some reason which isn't entirely clear to me, our cryptic crossword experts tend to do rather well on this non-cryptic quiz too! Well, done!

[ichkeria]

Two: at least I er got the Rees Mogg one.

[Buenchico]

All the best people are on 3, Prudie ;-)

At least you've provided Cloverjo with some company, Toorak ;-)

Well done, Eve. 4 seems like a reasonable score this week!

Cheer up, Tilly2!
