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

[Adamski]

9 for Friday.

[Salvo Montalbano]

A piss-poor performance with Presidents, professions and passes leaving me with a 7 on Wednesday.
9 on Thursday, wrong date for the Battle.
8 for Friday. No receipt on my purchase and I always get the Eastern Temple thingy question wrong when it comes up.

[SlipperyP]

Times up and it's all a little controversial this weekend.

James Villa Holidays League

@Arch Stanton swoops in at the death to secure his 9th Tap Lads League title under the nose of @WhiteRoseKilie, whose week of celebrations caught up on him as he ran out of steam.  Still manages to collect his 11th runners up spot.

It's all very tight at the bottom (oh) apart from @mathematics with is "let's try it all one day" approach. Bye!! @Tynierose like a true Gorgie Boy, bottles it on the last 2 days.  Then 5 players all on 38. Rules of some sort which I have not got a clue what the name is, sees @peasy23 drop down.

@Rugster  is in the playoff.

 

Teletext Holidays League

@alang1993 was smoking cigars by Tuesday and claims his 11th silver trophy, joining him @Cardinal Richelieu, will he survive?   3rd place there is a tie.  Both @German Jag & @Perkin Flump will be in a playoff to see who gets automatic promotion and the loser will play in the playoff.

Down at the arse end @BigBo10 feels the pain, with @NJ2 giving it big licks, will return to face the music. @pleslie99 form deserted him at the start of the week.  All head to beach party league.

@Spring Onion can keeps his hopes alive with a playoff. 

Club 18-30 League

@NotThePars has a year off and comes back with a bang and wins his 3rd Diddy Title.  @SlipperyP pished on Thursday evening and the Friday score shows, he goes up. @JamesP_81 finds himself in the 3rd automatic promotions spot.

@Snobot yes, you are in the playoff.

Unbelievable @Helpma goes missing for 4 weeks, comes back does 4 days and misses Friday, when all he needed was a  post of ANY score to be promoted.  As we all know, you have to complete the week for your full weekly total to count.  Wooden spoon for you.

I don't doubt it. But I passed through Peebles on the way to Ettrickbridge. Stayed in a pub there. £45 a night including a cooked breakfast. Lovely stuff.

Tough week.

For all those speculating on whether I had something to do with @Helpma's disappearance from the thread, my alibi is watertight.

At last the masterplan is revealed.  Our new Arab overlords insisted there had to be a trophy in the boardroom before the end of the month or I was getting my jotters.  Job done, my sinecure is secure.

[SlipperyP]

The Teletext League Promotion Playoff answers are in......

@German Jag Peebles. 8000

 v

@Perkin Flump An unusually tame question, will do a reverse killie and say 9681.

What is the population of Peebles?

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peebles
• 8,376 in the last census 2011 (estimated population in 2018 9,000)

We don't do estimates in playoffs. Pure hard facts. Congratulation to @German Jag, enjoy your time in the top league.  @Perkin Flump lucky loser goes into the playoff against @Rugster

Enjoy your Saturday evening lads.

Seeing as none of you lazy b*****ds is doing a cup I will start a new one on Wednesday.

We will have teams over four rounds and a straight knockout running at the same time.

Will need new team names but we appear to have forty players so five teams again.

If I end up in Team Ferenghi, I will hire hedgecutter to hunt you down.

I'm back, scores are all in and no time like the present.

Results for  playoff #149

In the saddle this weekend were

City Slicker Playoff

@Rugster P3 W3 L0 last app:16th Nov '19

I’m guessing 75

v

@Perkin Flump P9 W4 L5 last app: 11th Jul '20

Staying with the killie theme 65.

Cunty Farmers Playoff

@Spring Onion P12 W6 L6 last app: 27th Jul '20

I'm going to guess 42.  Hope I'm not miles out. 

v

@Snobot P8 W3 L5 last app: 2nd May '20

90 Cities in the UK.

Question - How many cities in the British Isles?

• England 51
• Scotland 7
• Wales 6
• Northern Ireland 5
• Republic of Ireland 5

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_status_in_Ireland#:~:text=There are eight cities in,first town of manufacturing importance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_the_United_Kingdom#:~:text=This is a list of,and five in Northern Ireland.

• 74 in total

@Rugster doesn't play too often in the playoffs, when he does, he wins.  @Perkin Flump needs to find a new strategy as Killie let's him down not for the first time, but on 2 occasions on the same day, maybe 3 (checks score) YES.

@Snobot doesn't know what the British Isle consist of, but he don't care one bit as @Spring Onion was miles out (his words)

One thing for sure today is Forfar are not going to get beat. Stay healthy!
