Guardian Thursday Quiz

Apologies if any of that seemed like bickering, my aim, as always, was friendly banter and my own running jokes.

Yeah I was joking although was struggling to workout out the scores as there was lots of post match chat!

I think the whole thing/theme/shenanigans started quite a while ago with discussion of a sniper to take out the opposition, which definitely wasn't my joke.

Probably me guilty of that, everything else is Douglas' fault

Given you only posted your score today, it were changed quick enough.

No no, it's Classic's fault, I am convinced he still has it infamy! 🤣

Basic rule of Curling - If anything goes wrong, blame the Skip (or in this case, the quizmaster).

Wriggling out of it as usual, honestly, I ask you...

Can't see you answering 15 questions, set by me. At least not with correct answers and not in one week.

We should actually try this. Just rows of Qs with spoilered answers below. Self-reporting like in the Guardian quiz obviously leaves it open to massive cheating, but I'm sure nobody but the current top three would ever countenance such a thing, so we'd be fairly safe.

Q: Should we try this?

Spoiler: A:

Maybe, if someone can be arsed and thinks it might be fun

Also, I should be on 132 - got 17 right this week:

Seventeen

And was on 115 last week.

Only 8 for me

This one wouldn't appear in "New Threads", as it's an old one(21/2 years old) just being updated.

But it appears in "New Posts" and "Recent Posts" every week.
