Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) A respectable 11.5 in the cup quiz for Ross! And here is the final standings for the Week 6 League! At the top of the heap, well done again to WRK who really may have to turn professional soon ... newcomer Blackislekillie earned a respectable 3rd place and congrats / commiserations to Eckthearab, who achieved yet another 2nd place... always the bridesmaid, never the bride! Down at the other end, Bullyweevilla's tactic of getting shit-faced before the quiz paid dividends (I've been trying it for years but to little effect!)... Hardlines to Die Hard Doonhamer who picks up the black star... Still, next month will bring fresh hope, a new cup and another four leagues, so anything is possible (except anyone beating WRK).

Can I sign Ross on loan to do the quiz again on my behalf? I just had a quick glance at it and 11.5 (not sure where the .5 came from) is very decent. b*****d of a quiz! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
