NotThePars Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 9 hours ago, SlipperyP said: The whistle blows and over the top they went; Dross Squad this weekend were; Lieutenant General 2nd in Command Playoff @alang19936th of September 1918. I'm not entirely sure who the guy is tbh. The Victoria Cross is a helpful clue(I think). I'm sure a lot of them were awarded for stuff world war 1 related, hence my 1918 guess v @MSU Let’s go with August 17, 1917. Brigadier 2nd Division Champion Playoff @HelpmaApril 16th 1916. I shall now go and look him up to find out why I should know him. v @Leeds Saint 21st January 1950 Major Play Off @The DAI'm going to guess at the Boer War, so October 19th 1900. v @NotThePars I'm going with 17th June 1936. Private Play Off @Cardinal Richelieu NO SCORE v @Snobot I’ll say 19th October 1919. Question - Lieutenant-Colonel Bertram Best-Dunkley VC. What date did he die? 5th August 1917 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertram_Best-Dunkley Congratulation @MSU, who returned to tell us about his victory. It was a gallant effort from @alang1993, he was up against one of the best. Champion of Div 2 goes to @Helpma, I'll not post his full message it was the memoirs indeed, he went through a lot to get to his answer. @Leeds Saint, tried the flank move but it never came off. Congratulations @The DA, while winning will also receive a court martial for discussing the Play Off question during battle, @NotThePars, should be kicking himself for notreadingthethread before sending his message. He was shot down while climbing the parapet Also congratulation to @Snobot with his 100 year anniversary date, good idea private, let's see what you can do on your first every promotion lad. As for @Cardinal Richelieu, just as expected from a coward of a man, when you need a man next to you when hell is all around, this man goes AWOL. If anyone is interested I have been reading about WW1 recently https://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/World_War_I_(Bookshelf)#Western_Front_.28France_and_the_Low_Countries.29 Bertram was just chosen randomly, and why not, maybe not a famous name, but still a hero. Famous now on the P&B Quiz Thread. Keep strong and march on. I did read the question! I thought it was a trick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too complicated. f**k it. c***s can go without a badge for a week or two. Apologies for missing the playoffs. I was pilgrimaging off my face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post your score on here Mon-Fri (Sat morning cut off). usually each day. If you are the first to post your score for that particular day on this thread add a link to that days quiz, out of courtesy. There are many other rules that are made on the hoof easy enough to follow as you play. @Cardinal Richelieu is in charge of all the League Tables, he's a top bloke. @Eednud seconds on the League Tables, when the gaffer is away. I'm your Play Off moderator at the weekend and all round top gezzer. Also the gaffers henchman. If anybody gives you any shite because your new, you can PM me. I'll stick it on here.

Cardigan Richard will try and gobble together a semi-correct table (to which you’ll be added) then Slipper P will ask an obscure question to sort out playoffs. Easy as that. And obviously send me a tenner a month for overseeing the whole thing and raising awareness of the conspiracy theory in place to keep NJ2 from success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Right, see the chemical formula Q, they're using the trivial name, acetylene. Would it help if the used the IUPAC name , ethyne? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
