Bbc Quiz: Week 23

[Buenchico]

A seem to be making my regular score one of 4 lately ('cos that's what I've got yet again this week) which, I suppose, is a bit better than the 3 I seemed to get week after week at the start of the year (but still not great!).

Will it be a good week for you, I wonder?

[Arksided]

Wahoo... 5/7.

[Buenchico]

Well done, Arksided.

Up until a few minutes ago that would have put you into joint second place but since then we've had a couple of scores of 6 reported.

5 is still a very good score though on what has turned out to be a generally very low-scoring week!

Well done again!

[lady-janine]

Glad to hear that news Chris. Very encouraging. I mean you as I usually assume that furry four are well as I know you are their human slave and abbey most of their commands and wishes.

[Buenchico]

'Abby'???

I'm not becoming a monk for anyone!
:-)

PS: Even replacing 'abby' with 'obey' doesn't make the sentence correct either. You also need to replace 'most' with 'all' ;-)

[lady-janine]

obey, obey. wot a typo.

[lady-janine]

all? not one little transgression on your part?

[Buenchico]

I'm easily bullied by cats, Lady-J. I've slept on the floor many times, rather than move a sleeping cat off my bed ;-)

[JJ109]

Another bad one for me - Just two! ...But it is a 100% improvement on last week's "one"

[lady-janine]

There you are a transgression. Just waiting for you to go to bed so there is human warmth to snuggle up to and wake up at will and you cheat them of that. You should do better.

[Buenchico]

Well there are ten of you with a score of just two, JJ109, so you shouldn't feel too bad . . . and you're not last anyway ;-)

Lady-J: When Tablo sees me coming to bed, she immediately leaps off it, so that she can then jump straight back onto my chest (or snuggle into my armpit) to keep warm. She's so fast though that she'll be trying to get herself comfortable well before I'll have been able to get myself comfortable (which is rarely easy because I have to find away of positioning myself around Chequers, who always remains fast asleep on my bed when I want to get into it!).

[Theland]

3 :-(

[Buenchico]

3's not too bad a score this week, Theland. You've got 11 people behind you with lower scores anyway, so you're nowhere near to the bottom of the table!

[lady-janine]

Chris I just love your description of your sleeping arrangements. Sounds cosy.

[Buenchico]

'Cosy' sometimes. 'Ruddy uncomfortable' often, Lady-J ;-)

[campbellking]

2. Obviously didn't pay attention this week, Campbell cat not well this morning, has been vomiting and not eaten her breakfast. She is now sleeping on my dressing gown ( didn't want cuddles today)

[emmie]

a miserable 4

[piggynose]

I got 6, i was convinced that the answer to that pill question was aspirin! So i wonder where i saw aspirin as a possible cure?

[Buenchico]

Oh dear, Campbellking! You've got plenty of good company though, as there are now no fewer than ELEVEN people with a score of just 2 . . . and you're not last anyway!

I hope that Campbell cat is feeling better now. (My beloved Moonbeam often seems to be poorly but then, just a few hours later, he'll be tucking into his food and demanding treats!)

4 isn't too bad a score this wek actually, Emmie. Many people have scored worse than that . . . and you're in the best possible company anyway ;-)

Very well done indded with that 6, Piggynose! Joint second place! I just hope that you're not a pharmacist ;-)

I'm definitely at the back of the class this time, Chris. Only 2, and one of my wrong answers had a picture of the right answer! (Ibuprofen). Disappointed that I got the Space question wrong because I was in Florida on Coco Beach to watch the night time launch of Endeavor in Nov. 2008. An amazing, stunning, breathtaking experience! Much likeAB, I suppose! ;o)
