You can't win every month, Moisty...

[Knulpuk]

Goodness me I am bad at movies.

[fancy dan]

Congrats Moisty - great comeback

Congrats Moisty - great comeback

Congratulations to the pair of you.

My best month ever and I only go and forget to enter on the 27th. Had I just done moderately well that day I could/would have made up those 6 points.....

Nov 15
1. MoistVonLipwig (238 points, 7 wins)
2. FancyDan (234 points, 5 wins)
3. murf (232 points, 1 wins)
4. Bluenosey (221 points, 4 wins)
5. spadger (210 points, 2 wins)
6. MorrisonDullforce (184 points, 4 wins)
7. nathan247 (170 points, 2 wins)
8. jagduracell (149 points, 2 wins)
9. vaughana (148 points, 0 wins)
10. Sted (131 points, 2 wins)

If I get the chance I'll score for the season to date soon so we can see if we have much to play for in the last month.

[sted]

My two week break didn't help.

By my calculations, I would have won by 50 points

I'm shit at maths also

Well done guys

Yesterday was 1st day of the month and 11 people played:

[Knulpuk]

not happy with my time today - didnt feel live 74,000+ seconds - must be getting older

[murf]

Question 4 did need some thinking about.....

[jpk]

forgot about this for about the last 2 years...
I see you are still playing premier league on saturday, which was always awful. Is it any better? , can't you change it around?

[Art Vandelay]

Hi all,

I tried to do this but it won't accept my login even though it's definitely right

I have been doing this on another forum I'm on so if anyone ever fancies a second quiz feel free to have a go at http://www.funtrivia.com/private/main.cfm?tid=97421 too

[fancy dan]

Guys, I've got a new job starting in December and a general reassessment of priorities, so I'm probably going to drop out of the quiz after this month. Looks like I'm going out on a high...

[murf]

Sorry, couldn't let you win on your last day!

We seem to be ticking over still despite a slow but steady drop in numbers so I think we should carry on.

If anyone knows of a better site for a revamp of the comp or has any other ideas (bar the obvious dropping the saturday football category! - do we still need saintmark to change things ? Is he still around?)

[Knulpuk]

Not sure how many years I have been doing this but my favourite ever question has been set today;

What month before the sailing of the Titanic was the splash guard attached to the A Deck Promenade?

I am please to say I got it right

[murf]

Wahoo! I finally won a month after years of trying and several 2nds and 3rds.

OK, only 4 of us were playing most days but a win is a win!

[morganb]

As the weekend Sporcle has petered out I thought I might give this a go. Unfortunately the site says-

This tournament is password protected. You must provide the tournament password the administrator gave you in order to sign up for this tournament. The password is:

Can someone PM me the password please? Thanks

[Malrom]

I'll probably join in again!

What's the password again?

[murf]

No idea on the password (saintmark set it all up. Could PM him if he is still around).

There is a facility to invite folks if you PM me your e-mail address (probably can't do it til tonight though as I'm out and about). Can't guarantee it will work but we can try.

[unc.si.]

just played it - first time for years!! it remembered my password luckily.

sort of forgot it was a speed test as well, so not the fastest time, but not too bad. Seem to remember it gets easier if you play every day as the same questions come up!

[murf]

Invite sent to morganb.... and I've outscored you all today thanks to my immense toothbrush knowledge.

[murf]

Not seen that before - got one marked wrong then they tell me it was the right answer, even in the text underneath.

The one on "Gilligan's Island" - names changed to not give away the, err, correct answer

Your Answer: 'Doris'
The correct answer was 'Doris'.

The correct answer is 'Doris'. On the show, X's first name was actually "Y"

[Malrom]

I'm very weak in "Premier League" ...

Who knows all that useless information of 3 clubs going down in the 92 / 93 season ?

Not me. I decided months/ years ago not to take this day seriously enough to try and deliberately remember the answers. Some have crept in to my mind since but not that one!

[Malrom]

Trying to remember to play every day now!
I'm a OAP now !

[Malrom]

btw: where is saintmark?

[murf]

btw: where is saintmark?

If you are still around saintmark, can we think about changing categories (or have the passwords!)

[jpk]

why not just start another quiz

[Malrom]

Let's talk about categories !

Let's talk about categories !

Years ago we had regular votes of what came and went. As long as Premier League footie goes I don't care!
