The All New Occasionally Aussie P+B Quiz League and ☕ Occasional Cup ☕


Recommended Posts

So in the play-off, I asked how many MEPs there are. The answer on my card was 751...

In the Premiership play-off, Jagfox went for a round 750 and Eednud went for a jumbo 747. Incredible scenes at Firhill, but Jagfox goes through by a fox's whisker. 

In the SWL play-off, The great-escape artist The Captain plumped for 612 and founding league member Gman_1985 went for 617. An other incredibly close encounter, but it's Gman who is promoted at the expense of the Captain!

And in the cup, I'm still waiting on your answers @WhiteRoseKillie ...

In the league, actually knew 6 of them and narrowed another 2 down to 50/50 ... of course, I still ended up with 6.

And now for the scores. Scotfree "always the bridesmaid, never the bride" posted a very respectable 13 (and also told me that his neighbour laughed like a Penguin).. but WRK was the resounding winner with 18 so he wins the EtADDJJT for July!

Well done WRK - you can pick a trophy from this selection if you like: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=trophy&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwihx8OkidvUAhVmBMAKHRkyC-4Q_AUICigB&biw=1745&bih=885

Should've been a magnificent 7, turned out to be a meh 5/10.  First 4 and the car manufacturer all right (knew them all)  changed my mind on the sauce and, in my haste, despite all the warnings, I didn't read the last one right either.

After knowing 6 and getting 6 yesterday, my heart sank as I guessed the first 7 ... thankfully, I knew the last 3 and managed to guess another 4 - so a sexy 7 for Old Cardy.
