Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Just awaiting scores from Alang1993 (I know I've done this joke before but we have a new audience ... I'm sure he'll just be alang in a second) ... Tynieness, The Captain and Armadalekillie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we're relegation rivals or anything Much in the same way that Britain don't need to put the name of the country on its stamps cos we invented 'em. I'm not required to divulge my score. But in the interests of transparency and fair-play, I will. I got a measly 7. Which means that blackislekillie and I are tied for the other relegation spot (assuming Frankie stays away this week and alang1993 posts a score before tomorrow lunchtime). Which leaves us in a bit of a quandary ... we could have a 3-way play off for the Premiership spot (between me, BIK and whoever is 3rd in the SWL) ... however, that's a bit shite on the 3rd place team since it reduces their odds of getting promotion. The only other way to do it would be for me and BIK to have a pre-play-off play-off. The winner of which would then take on 3rd in the SWL for a place in the Premiership. This would be fairest, but it's a bit of a faff, since we only really have 1.5 days to wrap up the play-offs before the new league starts. What's more .... I can't post the play-off question since I'm in it (and potentially the 2nd play-off question, assuming I'm triumphant in the first). And you lads thought it was just a question of firing numbers in a spreadsheet ... * hollow laugh * How about this... we have a play-off now between me and @blackislekillie ... do you fancy doing the honours Leedsy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Saint Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 OK, I've got one. In honour of our quiz setters love of Japanese islands, how long does it take the quickest scheduled bullet train to travel between Tokyo and Osaka (in Minutes) @blackislekillie, @Cardinal Richelieu BTW they are both on Honshu, (the cities that is not BIK and HE) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Saint Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The contestants were obviously chomping at the bit. First up BIK plumped for 123 mins HE decided Honshu isn't that big! 94 mins The fastest quoted time (via Osaka stations own website) is a nice round 150mins @blackislekillie lives to fight another play off and our very own @Cardinal Richelieu returns with his tail between his legs to the SWL. Here ends the scores of the Leeds jury, back to you in the studio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackislekillie Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Just had a sneaky log in at work and found out I was in a play off. First time I have remained in the top tier for more than a week. Every diddy has his day. [emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Right. You've had yer chance. AFJ scoops his 3rd scoop. MSU is in second. Frankie fell on his sword, and all the Kings Horse's couldn't make me avoid relegation. BIK is in his 2nd play off this season. Edmund scoots back to the top-shop, edging out Salvo. Peasy23 is in the play-offs. Down in the nether regions... Dyl and SlipperyP are down, and Ross is in the play-offs. Tynieness was probably too busy engaging in "extra-curricular activities" to post a score for Friday, despite me texting him twice. gkneil romped the BHL. Ziggy and Sevesnape are equal 2nd. In the interests of fairness, I should have a separate play-off to decide who's in the play-off against Ross.. But in the interests of me having better things to do, it's not going to happen. So it's a 3 way play-off. In summary, @blackislekillie vs @peasy23 and @Ross. vs @Ziggy vs @sevesnape ... According to the highly accurate Wikipedia article I'm looking at, how many countries (including the Russians who are classed as "ANA") are competing at the Winter Olympics this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest. I'll leave the parsing of, " all the Kings Horse's couldn't make me avoid relegation" to the jury of the quiz thread but I don't see a happy outcome for you, bud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
