The Culture Cup 2018 - Results thread

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 15 Feb 2018, 12:54 pm

First topic message reminder :

Round one has come and gone, ladies and gentlemen, which is fitting what with Valentine's Day being yesterday and so many of you likely to have thrown back the covers and opened your legs for a carefree tryst with that man you think will treat you right.

One of the OGs, Mr rick_dagless, gets off to a flying start and receives the maximum 12 points for his choice of Homer and Marge Simpson. A whole 10 votes, enough to leave the yellow pair two clear of the pack. Beer gets second, whilst VDT secures a one more vote on this last day and takes joint third with Hero. We must all take the time to appreciate that only one pick received 0 votes; congratulations SecretFly!

Scoring in the Eurovision fashion (except allowing ties) sees the table looking thusly:

1. Dagless - 12
2. Beer - 10
3. Hero - 8
3. VDT - 8
5. Chequered Jersey 6
5. Samo - 6
5. Compelling and Rich - 6
8. TLD - 3
8. Galted - 3
8. Dolphin - 3
11. Secret Fly - 0
11. Shah - 0
11. Jules - 0
11. dancingweeman - 0
11. nadeem - 0
11. Superfly - 0
11. Trebs - 0

not getting my first pick costing me again

by Beer Thu 01 Mar 2018, 6:25 pm

It's a fraud.

How can you be considered culturally superior if you can't have your picks?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 01 Mar 2018, 6:28 pm

Then you wouldn't have got Band of Brothers and may not have got anywhere near the amount of points. The system protects the whole, in the traditions of gentlemanly conduct that runs through the Culture Cup.

I manage it by being a snob.

Your winner of Round Five is:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And that was mine, notches, cos you all wanted it so I chose me instead of working out which one of you deserved it (as well as having got 0 points last time out, so justifiably allowed)

Me - Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - 12 points
VDT - The Book of Mormon - 10 points
Nadeem - Trainspotting - 10 points
Dagless - Light Fantastic - Terry Pratchett - 7 points
Fernando - Where’s Wally - 7 points
Compelling and Rich - The Bible - 5 points
Hero - The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 - Sue Townsend - 4 points
Superfly - One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night - Christopher Brookmyre - 4 points
Marky - The Timewaster Letters by Robin Cooper - 4 points
Samo - Screenburn - Charlie Brooker - 4 points
Dancingweeman - I, Partridge - 4 points

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 04 Mar 2018, 7:21 pm

That leaves our standings at the halfway point as:

Dagless - 38
Hero - 32
Beer - 30
Samo - 30
Compelling and Rich - 30
Dolphin Ziggler - 24
Chequered Jersey -23
Superfly - 23

We are currently 9 picks short for the next round, so I will delay until tomorrow

by Fernando Sun 04 Mar 2018, 7:36 pm

Not gunna lie pretty delighted my Where's Wally pick did well Laugh

by **superflyweight** Mon 05 Mar 2018, 12:24 pm

I thought I Partridge was my choice and so didn't vote for it and voted for my own pick of One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night.

I'm off outside for a bracing w*nk.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 05 Mar 2018, 2:10 pm

Invigorating, isn't it...

Any news on this?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 13 Mar 2018, 7:12 pm

People made these choices and got these points:

12 - Hero - Natalie Portman

1 - Trebs - Chloe Grace Moretz
1 - TLD - Alfalfa - Bug Hall in Little Rascals
0 - Galted - Natja Brunckhorst (Christiane F)

A bad week not to have voted for yourself, as the only person with 0 votes is the only person with 0 points.

In my defence, I forgot to pick then couldnt remember anyone else. Which I think is the spirit of the thing.

And his name is now correct. I always forgot it ends "ay"- which to me feels wrong.

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue 13 Mar 2018, 10:17 pm

Macauley Culkinay?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 13 Mar 2018, 10:23 pm

You’re not Canadian

by Samo Sun 18 Mar 2018, 12:57 pm

Wheres round 7?

by **Pal Joey** Mon 19 Mar 2018, 8:33 am

What are the rules again?

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 19 Mar 2018, 8:54 am

When's Tino back?

I'm last.

It’ll be up later, I’m ill and I don’t like anyone

by **Pal Joey** Mon 19 Mar 2018, 12:54 pm

Congratulations on your 20,000th post, dolphin. clap

Hope you get well soon. Have an extra sardine on me old chap.
Don't worry... we'll get you back into that favourite circus act of yours again soon.

The standards of some of the things getting votes is really below par

by nadeem2099 Wed 28 Mar 2018, 12:22 pm

Agreed.

by **Pal Joey** Wed 28 Mar 2018, 12:37 pm

I don't think I'm taking it seriously enough. Going for some things that I find personally funny but which others might not.

That helps explain why I'm languishing down near the foot of the table. However I'm quite proud of my performance given that my taste for entertainment is probably a decade or three out. I find most of the more contemporary stuff often puerile, uninteresting and self conceited.

Need to loosen up a bit but I fear it is now a little too late.

by ChequeredJersey Wed 28 Mar 2018, 9:35 pm

I'm happy that my choices thus far have been sincere.

by **Galted** Thu 29 Mar 2018, 12:45 am

I'm unhappy with the quality of voters.

by **Pal Joey** Thu 29 Mar 2018, 12:53 am

I suspect there is a conspiracy amongst the voters.

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 30 Mar 2018, 12:01 pm

Hey Flipper - how come my PM to you for the next round is still in my outbox?

by **Galted** Fri 30 Mar 2018, 12:10 pm

JuliusHMarx wrote:Hey Flipper - how come my PM to you for the next round is still in my outbox?

Mine too (my outbox, not Julius's).

by **Galted** Fri 30 Mar 2018, 12:11 pm

No wonder I'm coming last, faulty voters and technical difficulties.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 30 Mar 2018, 11:16 pm

I oft save the opening of them until I want to sit and look through it all. Wild life that I have

by **Pal Joey** Sun 01 Apr 2018, 12:14 pm

Are we waiting for anything?
These long weekends throw my timing out. Friday felt like a Sunday for me. Now it's Sunday; it doesn't feel like one.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 01 Apr 2018, 3:35 pm

We are picks from Shah and Trebs short, whilst Jules is being obstinate. I'm allowing Galted's to go in verbatim, but unsure whether I will allow Jules's pick of "none" as he hasn't entered into the spirit of the competition.

by **Galted** Sun 01 Apr 2018, 5:38 pm

You're a very lovely person, Flipper. And you're absolutely right ridiculing Julius in person.

by **JuliusHMarx** Sun 01 Apr 2018, 6:37 pm

Flipper negates to tell the reasoning behind my choice, which would have everyone ~~voting for me~~ ridiculing me even more.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 01 Apr 2018, 10:15 pm

It was even more egregious because of that. A populist decision

by **Pal Joey** Mon 02 Apr 2018, 10:03 pm

I hope the next question isn't:

"Which TV show/series remake shouldn't have been remade?"

I'd be phucked.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 02 Apr 2018, 11:51 pm

I've just realised my inbox was full. I will put things up, with Jules, Shah and Trebs sending me something to add in if they have time.

by **Pal Joey** Thu 05 Apr 2018, 6:37 am

Otherwise, just deduct some points from them to get things moving again.
