Bbc Quiz: Week 10

[Buenchico]

I reckon that it a 'middling' week in terms of difficulty this week.

I managed to score 5 but that was only because
(a) there's a 'freebie' question, where all the responses offered are correct ; and
(b) my guesses turned out to be a lot luckier than usual ;-)

How will you do?

How can 3 be 'terrible', Caran? It's my usual score!

;-)

[pixie374]

3...

[Buenchico]

Well you were nearly half right, anyway, Pixie ;-)

[lady-janine]

only 6 today Chris. Must do better.

Hope you and kitties are keeping well.

[pixie374]

One was certain, and one a guess :-)

[Buenchico]

'Only' 6, Lady-J? Ruddy 'eck, you must be a perfectionist!

Well done anyway!

Thanks for your good wishes to me and the cats. I hope that you're keeping well too. (The hospital attached 4 oestrogen patches to my limbs today. Will I soon be eligible to join the WI, I wonder?)

Another middle of the road 4 this week.

5 this week

[lady-janine]

Ypu've sussed me out Chris. Usually fail but always aim. Have been known to get quite cross with myself. Silly really.

WI? I haven't got there yet. Don't reckon I'm quite ready, nor the Mothers' Union and nor the Methodists' Over 60's Club. A bit too radical and independent I suppose. But that's another story.

[lady-janine]

What are the patches for? What are they supposed to do?

[Buenchico]

Dedicated to Stephen ;-)

[Buenchico]

Welcome the the Fabulous Fivers clubhouse, Margo, but it's getting very crowded in here this week!

My cats are used to the expletives they hear when I get an answer wrong, Lady-J ;-)

Here's what the patches are meant to do:

[MargoTester]

I like a crowd ;-)

[10ClarionSt]

Gulp! Only 2 for me this week. didn't know any of them. Hardly surprising as I never follow any news feeds or buy newspapers. I'm at the back, Chris! :o)

[joedobson1177]

4 for me as welll

[Theland]

6 my highest ever.

[brainiac]

Theland - you're a week late!

[Buenchico]

The posts get later every week!

4's a decent enough score, Joe. (A new name, I see. We hope to see more of you on these theads!)

I'll assume that Theland took a week to get over the shock of scoring 6 before being able to post ;-)
Well done, anyway!
