"mallard 10:36 Tue Mar 12 Ah now that's nice to know, you never know apart from those who post the scores. In that case I'll carry on until you all tell me to piss off or I run totally out of questions. Also Mad Dog is clearly champion over the last three or four years since Easthammer started it all so let's start again with the score chart from scratch and that might persuade others to post their scores. So congratulations MD with 6151 points, Easthammer with an impressive 4431.5 considering for the first two years he was doing the quiz! Westside started later than most so again an excellent 3722.5. Will start afresh from tomorrow."

"‘Due to a lack of participants’ I’ve never posted a score because I started late and would have been well down the running order. I do however read these quizzes every evening, covering up the answers as I scroll.. I love this thread and often find it educational. Huge thanks to every quiz master since lockdown and long may it continue"
Re: Daily Quiz anyone? New Thread
No worries fellas. I have actually found a site that I am up to F on their quizzes. If by the time mine have run out and no-one else has wanted to take over to be honest I'm happy to carry on until I get to Z if you all don't mind some repetition of questions and the odd mistake or two. It keeps me busy to be honest!
