This isn't set in stone if anyone wants to enter and needs more time then post here or PM (private message) me (OldMike).
A certain sparkly person (I wonder who ;) ) thinks she may be in the lead but you at t'other end of t'internet could prove her wrong so don't equivocate and be late enter the quiz today without delay or tomorrow if you follow :)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can anyone beat her!
Not a chance ;)
Think we should all form a team next time and take her on(giggle)
Mike.....you're in our team. Lol
That's a brilliant idea! Hey Mike..... Wanna be on our team? Or just mine?
this might spark a bit of a debate (but I'm going to throw it out their), but how do you know if someone's used google or nott.
it says at the start don't use google, but you don't know.. the winner of this quiz could have googled all the answers or got the answers from another member
I propose a discalimer:
I, such and such a username, have answered all these questions indipendently of search engines
Exactly right and it would have to be witnessed by two upstanding members of the community ;)
I think I shall go to the local library (so my IP can't be tracked) and set up an account named OlderMike who purely by coincidence is age 71 with a biggish garden (no one would suspect it was me (giggle) ) and amazingly OlderMike would get every question right (rofl)
(rofl)
SS! Me? Cheat??? ;)
(rofl)(rofl)(rofl)

Strugglingmum & Paula (Team Sparkles)
Whoop whoop.!!!!
Get me I'm up there with the sparkly one!! (rofl)
Have to be honest tho, definitely couldn't have done it without one of my son's. His specialities, sport, politics and economics all came in to play in this one. #teamporter
Joint? JOINT?????
congragulations Strugglingmum, well done ;)
Aw, I was so impressed with our score this evening!
Congrats SM!
Paula - you sure you're not blinking well cheating?
I. Am. Offended *flounces off* :P
Admission of guilt me thinks.....
Do we need a stewards inquiry re. Team Sparkles, do we need to do a computer inspection to see if there has been any unauthorized Googling or accessing Wikipedia or the online version of Encyclopedia Britannica, it has been reported that a shady character has been seen in the vicinity of the Palace Sparkles carrying a brown envelope clearly marked "Answers to DWD Quiz 7" (rofl)
A big thanks to all who entered.
And once again a big congratulations to Strugglingmum for an outstanding quiz performance (party)
Mike I have to say that we adore your quizzes! Please can we have one with less sporty stuff though please as my team doesn't have any knowledge on anything sporty at all - unless it's the Hakka, I'm good for Hakka's.....
It's something that we do together and we all just focus together on the quiz, nothing else interrupts!
Thank you so much, I know they take time to compile and to mark!
Ah, see, that’s my secret weapon - Si has an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of sports and movies, it’s hugely impressive. So, Mike, if you want to take out those sections for the next quiz, I’m ok with that (giggle)
So a quiz of only things Paula doesn't know, I'll look in to it, no bias there (rofl)
Just pondering the next quiz I think we need a JUMBO one to take us over the festive period.
Woohoo!!!
Oh yes! Most definitely if you've time to put it together?
Whoop whoop. Got that competitive streak going now Mike.
I know some of the others claim they know little about sport but I really enjoy the sports questions. Is there any chance we could just have 1 or 2 in the next one? Please.x
