Morning, notches.

I need to do a quiz of the year for my local, so any questions of interest regarding people or events in 2017 would be greatly accepted as I am running out of time.

Also the participants are not of a particularly high quiz standard, just regular folk there for fun.

Have you googled BBC quiz of the year and stolen anything from there yet?

I will do if pushed but just wondered if you gents had any good questions up your collective sleeves.

Who scored the most goals in the Premier League in 2017?
How many songs did Ed Sheeran have in the top 20 on 10th March?
Who won Strictly Come Dancing 2017?
What date was Tino's final post on 606v2?

I will save the last one for a tie breaker...

Some of these are pretty difficult... a couple should still be fresh in people's minds.

Where was the 2017 World Expo held?  Astana, Kazakhstan
How many Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired upon Shayrat Air Base in Syria on April 9? 59
The total solar eclipse of August 21 was also known as what? The Great American Eclipse
What category was Hurricane Harvey? Category 4
How many American diplomats did Vladimir Putin expel from Russia in response to US sanctions? 755
What was the name of the spacecraft that first entered Saturn's atmosphere before plunging into it on 15 September? Cassini-Huygens
The IOC awarded which two cities the Summer Olympic Games in 2024 and 2028 respectively? Paris and Los Angeles
Xi Jingping assumed his 2nd term as General Secretary at which (number) National Congress of the Communist Party of China? 19th
On 2 November, a new species of which primate was discovered in Indonesia? Orangutan
What is the title of Leonardo da Vinci's painting which sold for $450M at Christie's in New York? Salvator Mundi

Maybe a bit too much for "regular folk" though! Just saw that above...

Yeah, I think that this would be good for the quiz league, but I foresee a row of furrowed brows if I asked these at the local boozer...

Could re-word a few though.

Yeah... dumb it down a bit.
e.g. rework Cassini question - to which planet?

FFS TLD. Those are ridiculously hard!

Casini finished its mission last year, and grabbed its final data by plummeting into which planet?

Jupiter?

Your anus.

Morning all

Morning rick. You are not alone.

Phew, thought it was going to be a one post michaelsing...

Are you well?

Morning. Congratulations on the term 'one post michaelsing'. It is a bloody good one.

Cheers, Galts, and a very good morning to you too.

I have finished the quiz, and will present tomorrow...

Morning all.

Present it on here tomorrow too?

Got my first Islamic terrorist guests staying here. Lovely family from Santa Clara.

Just tossing up whether I should take down the Christmas tree on the Epiphany tomorrow.... or leave it up over the weekend?
Might turn down the volume on the Bing Crosby though.

Morning mate.

I will put it up in an hour or so.

Excellent, glad to see you embracing all the cultures, speaking of, where is Shah?

Tomorrow, though the lift in my apartment block is being repaired so I will be waiting.

The new limerick has gone tits up...

I've edited my last line so you should be able to get it back on track again.

No name Bertie is a bit of a character, yeah?

Could well be, I wonder which alias it is?

Be nice if it were Kenny.

Supes and Tino were/are excellent at working out duplicate accounts.

I will put it up just after Tino does CC V3

Excellent news.

I still have faith that Flipper will do V3

Afternoon notcherinos

Afternoon Shah. Are you enjoying rick's quiz?

I should have time to put it up today...

Morning notches

Morning rick the slick, all good in the hood?

Not bad at all mate, almost considered putting on a coat this morning it is that cold.

How was the weekend?

Pretty dud, had a night shift on the Saturday into the Sunday so didn't get upto much. Yours?

How is the career going? Not had an update for a while.

Couple of birthdays this weekend, so was a busy one.

Apparently we have some clunge starting today, which is nice.

Not much to update. New place pays well but there's so little to do its obscene. The working areas look like confinement cells in a mental hospital from a horror movie and it's a hit and miss with who you get as a duty supervisor. That said I am seeing more of my children which is nice and the pay is good so will stick it out then find something to study. Slight opportunity for advancement as well.

Nice, hope it works out my boy.

I am in Lithuania again this week, which means I get to miss all the fecking train strikes, I have lost track of who is striking for what at the moment with the train companies.

I have 5 different means of public transport to get me into work. I like to mention this whenever there's a strike on.

I just work from home to be honest, I hate getting on the bus, we also have pony and trap.
