This is getting idiotic and boring now and I have no idea what I said to upset Classic for him to attack me so much in the first place - I was just defending my position... It's not my fault if he makes mistakes!

Yes yes, it's supposedly a 'joke', but... 😴😴😴

9+11+9+11+11+9+10+12+10+9+13+9+11+5+9+8+11+6+6+10+8+12+9+71+12+12+12 = 261

No quiz posted for the last week in May, 28th. No points scored by anyone.
At the time I posted the last scores, you'd not posted a score therefore 237, was correct.
Unable to find the 24 points that have been missed.

I'm human, and like all humans we make mistakes. I try to get them corrected as quick as possible. It's not always possible to be as quick as people want. They were amended the same night at 20:26.

Nice swerve but I meant all this faffing about with points and so because I have pointed out your mistakes before (I mean over a long time).

As for 237 point thing, yes I had posted a score... And you 'gave' it to No To... Exactly the kind of 'faffing about' I mean.

The 28th of May?

Erm... 😆

Crashed and burned this week with an 8/15, but then, I've been travelling and doing things, so...
I am kicking myself over the flag one too. 🤦‍♂️

No movement on the scoreboard though.

🤷‍♂️
