Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

3rd time's the charm eh Nug,
You can wipe the tattoo off your forehead, the one says "I must remember to take the quiz questions with me"

Thanks for hosting.

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Well done Meta - looks like the Milky Bars are on you :D

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

I refused to take part in the quiz, out of protest due to Nugget missing 2 other quiz days....


or it could have just been that I forgot and was out :(

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Your loss Monkey it was a great quiz you missed out on.....;) :)
I actully got a couple of questions right :erm: :D

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

You should count yourself lucky it was only 2 that I missed - it is me, remember :disturbd:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Personally I think it's all a conspiracy to make me miss it - Nugget has probably been informed of the time and date to run the quiz by those strange shortwave radio stations

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Hah! Call *that* a conspiracy???

At just before 12 today my BB service stopped working and only came back about half an hour ago!

Now *who* was it who was making comments about Portsmouth having a service outage the next time there was a quiz...!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

When is the quiz normally posted and what are the rules etc?

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

It is normally posted on Friday at 1 pm. Unless Nugget's hosting, as his mnemonic skills make it a completely random affair. :)

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

The quiz is normally on a Friday at 1 o'clock. Unfortunately, whenever I do it, it seems to ... :erm: ... suffer from a slight delay (hey, only 10 days this time :D ).

As for rules, the recent ones are that you should have no more than 3 answers per post, and you can't google until after half one.

Oh yeah, and if you win, you have the honour ( :erm: ) of doing the next one.

EDIT: What he said up there :D

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

and do we answer on the open forum or via pm?

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Just answer in the thread itself (that's why it's such a bugger for the person running the quiz to keep up ;) )

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Some of us don't have a 20 second delay either ;)

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Well that's just showing off, isn't it :D

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Whilst I can often arrange my lunch break to overlap the quiz timeslot and thus participate in the quiz, I could not reasonably host a quiz from work, even during lunch.


So would any body else like the honour of hosting it ? *Prods Gazzae & Chim *
Failing that I could host it at a later time, say 6:30-7:30pm

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Thanks for the warning :fit: :fit: :fit: :fit: :fit: :fit: :fit: :fit: :fit: :fit: :fit: :fit:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Yeah! :bump:

BTW I've had to get my hair done this week and this afternoon was the ONLY time I could booked.So could it be this morning.Well before 1pm anyway?

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

WELL?Are we having one?Cos I'm out of here at 1300. :(

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Well it looks like there are no volunteers to take the dubious honour of hosting this Friday's quiz from me.

Is there any call for me to host it early this evening after i get home?

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

I will willingly participate if you do :)

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

* GRIND *

Looks like it's this evening then!

Are we sticking to 6:30?

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

I won't (but at least that means that I definitely won't have to forget all about next weeks ;) :p: )

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Well If I'm around at 6.30 I will but evening meal and chores may prevent me. :erm:

Now I'm out of here..Bye.

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Sorry - only just noticed your post MetaWraith! I wouldn't know where to start in putting a quiz together! :Yikes:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

The best way is to pretend that you've forgotten - that way you get an extra week to find questions :disturbd:




:jk: ;)

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Speaking from experience? Ah, I see! :)

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Some of us *already* have a list of questions prepared when *we* are the next setter!

PS Don't tell anyone, but actually that was the only reason I came back, I had all these questions and nowhere to use them...! :D

PPS and NO this does *NOT* mean I'm volunteering to take over this quiz, I'll do the next one *after* I win it :D :D

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

:angel:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

perhaps the id of Billy-No-Mates would be more apt then :D

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

:PP:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

* BUMP *

Am heading home now, look out for a new quiz thread shortly after 6:30pm

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Traffic must be terrible...! :disturbd:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Yes I've been twiddling my thumbs all this time. :td: :tu: :td: :tu:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Perhaps he left the questions at work? :shrug:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

P'raps Mrs Wrath had other plans for this evening.

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

You mean he might be a bit tied up...?! :naughty:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

He might even have a bit tied up. :erm:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Perhaps this is some strange usage of the word "shortly" we weren't previously aware of...? :sleep: :zzz: :sleeping:

Re: Heeeeeere's the Quiz!!!
 

Maybe it's an NTL shortly ;) He'll arrive with the quiz soon no doubt.
