Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Well in a world first, Kilmarnock claim not one but 2 of the 3 top-spots in the league. And down the bottom, a lovely bit of guesswork from G_man should be enough to stave off another black star. Jacksgranda only needs to turn up to lift himself up the league. One question .. what the hell's gone wrong BWV?

I completely forgot about the semi-final draw. And here it is... Jagfox99 vs WhiteRoseKillie The_Kincardine vs Alang1993 Both ties to be played at Hampden (sorry Kincardine) at any point between now and Friday lunchtime. Edmund has sent me a stinker of a tie-break quiz if it's required, but in the meantime ... here is your quiz. No more guess-bombing your way through the rounds... from now you'll need to PM me your answers... 1.

What was the European Recovery Programme, which began operating in 1948, better known as? 3.

Dalton Trumbo, Ring Lardner, Jr, Edward Dmytryk and seven others: what were they known as? 10. Which football ground was the home of Everton FC from 1884 until a rent dispute in 1891? Good luck!

jmothecat Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 5. Annoyed I got the cricket one wrong, that's usually a strong subject for me. I got 2/10 and that was the only one I was sure on. Was fairly certain on the NZ one, guessed wrongly on the other eight. Worst part of the Madrid one is I've actually been there but I still didn't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 And in the other semi-final, no shocks to be had, as WRK ran out a comfortable winner. Hard lines to Jagfox99... WhiteRoseKillie 9-6 Jagfox99 Not much to note, except they both need to brush up on their English cricket (only Kincardine got that one) .. oh and their comment re: Matthias Rust was "Top Boi" and "Sum boi" respectively! I lifted the quiz from here: http://www.independent.co.uk/extras/puzzles-and-games/quizzes/the-saturday-quiz-weekly-brain-teaser-a6934396.html And so to the final.... sadly, it's a pair of Sassenachs in the final, so the Diddly Dee Jam Jar Trophy might be heading south. Hope we can get it back for next season. I'll try and dig out a pure stinker of a quiz for the final. The_Kincardine vs WhiteRoseKillie ...

No great credit. 43 minutes ago, WhiteRoseKillie said: Which dressing room have I got? The away yin, as per the draw. To ensure the highest standards of preparation I'm currently recruiting for a barman, a cocktail waitress and a fluffer. All applications must include a selfie and costume measurements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
