Bbc Quiz: Week 19

[Buenchico]

Take extra care to read the questions carefully this week, folks. The word 'not' appears in quite a few of them. If I'd have spotted it in one of the questions, instead of simply scan-reading it, I'd have scored 5 instead of the middling 4 that I actually achieved.

It's not one of the hardest weeks, in my opinion, but I reckon that it might still be quite difficult to score maximum points.

So just how well will you do then?

[Buenchico]

Well done, Brainiac! (Better than me!)

[clyde59]

3 for me

[Buenchico]

Oops!

A little on the low side by this week's standards, Clyde but, as it's my own usual score, I can't really criticise, can I?

;-)

[Ken4155]

5/7 - one of the two I got wrong was the super hero question. I went for the 'obvious' one given the supposed source of the virus:-(

[lady-janine]

5 this week. Not that interested in the papers these past few days. Maybe next week I'll do better.

How are you and furry friends?

[Buenchico]

Well done on beating me, Ken and Lady-J!

The furry foursome are fine, thank you, Lady-J, and I'm struggling by as usual. I hope that you're well too.

[lady-janine]

Glad to hear that Chris.

Getting there after a couple of hospital visits as I refused to stay in. Coming week with new tablets could be the answer. Just have to wait and see.

[Buenchico]

Don't mention tablets to me, please, Lady-J!

I start each course of chemo with a whole load of boxes of them (plus pre-filled syringes for self-injections) although, as I'm near to the end of a course at the moment, I'm not having to take any of them right now. (Just a daily blood pressure tablet at the moment).

I hope that yours do the trick for you!

[JJ109]

5 again!

[emmie]

a trifling 4, boo

[Buenchico]

All the best people are on 4 this week, Emmie ;-)

Well done, JJ109!

[emmie]

thanks Chris...

[MargoTester]

5 for me this week. A couple of guesses as usual

[naomi24]

Five this week - but a couple were guesses - so no gold medal. Not even a bronze one!

[Buenchico]

Well done on beating me anyway, Margo & Naomi ;-)

[campbellking]

Late to the party and a lowly score of 3...

[Buenchico]

Better late than never, Campbellking!

Just 3, eh? My advice is to seek some sympathy from your feline friends - and to open a bottle of something nice, of course!

;-)

[haras2]

I realise it's a bit late (internet down since Thursday) but Shady the Sad insisted that I accept the slow hand clap with my Miserable
2/7

[Buenchico]

Latecomers are always welcome, Haras2!

Just 2 though? Give Shady the Sad some extra treats by way of penance ;-)
