any help with no 14 sounds like im shouting (3,5) thanks and cheers T

Yes, that's precisely what some of us are doing - donating to the charity by buying the quiz in the first place and then chucking our answers in the bin rather than sending them off because people on this site have made a mockery of the quiz itself.

[simplemind]

I agree with Niles Quimby! The problem seems to be that ppl are getting mardy because they cant win! which suggests to me tht the average age of the ppl doin these quizes is 10 Because grown ups dont act this way! so i say to you all GROW UP! like i sed b4 its not th worst prablem in th world so if ya do have strong opinions about things make it about the REAL problems and then maybe those problems will be sorted out! Otherwise go back to playing with your rattles ya big babies!

[Aquagility]

Thank you, simplemind. You are right and these people should grow up and start worrying about things which really matter.
Calling these questioners cheats is a bit like accusing the recipients of Meals on Wheels of stealing.
But these chumps are not open to reason - they're just here hoping for a punch-up. Check out Proverbs 26:4.

[Waugh2]

Oh Aquagility, please do not quote the bible - it does not become you. We who disagree with the teddysbears of this site are well aware, thankyou, that there are more important matters in the world.

But this is a quiz thread and you completely fail to comprehend that teddysbears and his ilk are cheats - they are not clever enough to do the quiz themselves and so need to be given multiple answers, just so that they can stand a chance of winning.

As for a punch-up, this is cyberspace, so quite how you think that a punch-up could happen is astonishing.

[Aquagility]

You like to call people cheats. That is your view, but should not be confused with fact. I am sure that you would not accept my beliefs as factual, just because I say so.

A sincerely believe that you and two or three others are doing real harm in carrying on this vendetta.

[Waugh2]

Real harm? Oh please, Aquagility. How?

Ok then, if it pleases you, I will state it as my opinion that these people are cheats. It is your opinion that it is not so. Fair enough but as I have stated before, we are allowed our opinions and just as your are entitled to call us chumps and say we should grow up, we are entitled to say what we believe.

[simplemind]

Thankyou Waugh2 for proving my point! Agen and agen and agen................ It occured to me after my last post that the most important thing about the quiz is that it is for charity so really then the quiz isnt that important at all. It is only a fund raising idea devised by the charity. so even if ppl do cheat the charity is still making money. So the real ppl making a mockery of the charity are th ppl who throw a wobbley and decide not to do any more quiz's as thats not what th charity is about! I do agree with you on one thing tho: ppl are entitled to their oppinions. Oh and Aquagility good use of scripture!

[Waugh2]

Oh dear simple mind - I have proved your point? I do not do ANY quizzes so how exactly you think I have proved your point is quite the mystery then, isn't it? ROFLMAO.

[simplemind]

It proves my point because you like evry1 else are more concearned with ppl cheating on quizes than things like Terrorism, Poverty, War, Crime and well every other more important problem in the world. Oh and if you dnt do quizes then what are you posting on for? You've just told every1 that this thread has nothing to do with you and your just bein awkward and stirring things up for th good ppl on answerbank! Idiot!

[Waugh2]

Oh you make me laugh simple mind - you seem to believe that just because somebody posts on a thread that they are not concerned with other weightier matters. Quite how you come to that conclusion without knowing the people involved is quite a mystery. You are such a comedian you should be on the stage!

As for your other inane comment, does that mean that if you do not have an interest in politics, that actually bars you from having an opinion on the subject, for example?

I am leaving the thread now and will not be back - but I just bet you will not be able to stop yourself from having another dig at me, will you? If you do post again, you will prove beyond any doubt that it is you who is the idiot! Goodbye.

[smouse]

Unfortunately I think you will be back on a similar vein but just on another thread

[Jammydodgem]

I'm tearing my hair out here.

Why do some people not realise that asking MULTIPLE questions (and nigh on the whole quiz) is not cheating.
I totally despair.

You can wrap it up in charity all you like, but those that ask every question ARE cheating.

Were you allowed to look over someone else's shoulder when doing your "O" levels (and I guess that shows my age).

NO YOU WEREN'T.

It's a QUIZ, and that means give it a go yourself. If you are merely happy to support the charity (and I think thats what most of you are saying you are doing) then why cheat on here.......giving EVERY answer away in the process.

How could any of you feel you've "won" when you have cribbed off of others so much? I'm gobsmacked.

I'm more than tempted to list every answer on Rainbow just to show you lot up. Then you may see how wrong what you are doing is.

I've entered again this time on Rainbow, but sweetness will not see my entry............nether will have my support next time unless things change.

[smouse]

now lets hope youre leaving this thread and others were you just keep repeating yourself

[Jammydodgem]

Well you would stay here smouse, wouldn't you?

You share answers more than the average person. You also took a pop at questiones yourself once.

Frankly, although I applaud you buying and supporting every quiz on the market , you seem to be missing the point of the CONTEST.

You have spread yourself so thin that you seek help on everything. If you were really only interested in the charity you would do what you could and then send it in.

You and those like you don't do that. They want to win.

[Jammydodgem]

You may guess from my previous post that I feel quite strongly on this subject.

It's not just me. I know we seem like the minority here, but we are not.

Previous sites have shut down on quiz questions ( Fun Trivia being one). The management of that site saw what a problem this was becoming.

Quizzing only allows clues, which is a compromise, and I could live with that.

This site is SO FAR allowing everyone to cheat..........there are many lobbying against this policy, including some of our well known quiz setters.

I have made an effort to answer every question I know the answer to since you started your campaign.
Not something I would normally do especially when people ask almost straight away or very easy questions
I am doing this because I will not be dictated to.
Also lets be honest how many PMs goes backwards and forwards on quizzing - does that make it less cheating.
Also if you are talking about me personally I dont think I have ever said I am doing a quiz just to support the charity but as you seem to know so much about me you will be able to correct me if I'm wrong. I support charities in other ways and do the quizzes to keep my mind occupied and I dont look at the answers others are giving till I am totally stuck as it can spoil it and I do not deny that but the choice to look or not look is up to you and likewise the choice to ask for an answer or not is also yours
