Come on, let's doooooo it!! Who's out, who's in? It's abt time we won that facckin thing. I'll throw my keys in the pot, who's joining me?

I'm fairly convinced we would have come (min.) 2nd last week if you had turned up.

I should be there.

Don't play the blame game Dannyboy, we're in this together. Or are Gallas in disguise? Come on, Ozspur, Ezza, No 10, Lou...let's be 'avin you!!

Oi , I got 7 out of 10 in that round. was let down by my team mates, esp that James character.

I'm IN and we're going to WIN

Out. I'm in Shanghai.

Ozspur, I take exception and will rise to the bait accordingly!

Only you and me answered any questions in our team. I think Lou and Jez may actually have been asleep.

Fortunately Danny bailed us out with a couple of extra points in the US Sports round. A couple of extra pop points from Bennycat and we'd have been home and dry (we were in the running til the last round!)


Oh, and I'm a probable for this week.

Can we get the original 4 plus 3 out of Bennycat, Dan and Lou? We'd be unstoppable!

IN:
Bennycat
Danny
Oz
10

?
Lou
Dan

Out (dropped?)

I'm out I'm afraid.
But you'll still win without me as I'm useless!!! You'll look far less glamorous though!!

Wow well done Lou! What games did you play to win such a big sum? I played Blackjack and Caribbean Stud Poker and won only $2000 in total.

I'm working on it. Give me time dammit

Just Roulette. Got really lucky - my single number came up 4 times - once by mistake as I had just left my chip on 8 after it won and then it came up again and my chip was still there!!!
Went in with just $500 and left with $10,800!!! Bought champagne!!!!
Think I'll have a holiday to Beijing and Singapore now!!!!!

That's wicked!

I am convinced that was the Tandoor magic!

OK, when do I get lucky free money then? I was at the Tandoor! Jez? Ezza?

no chance. Visa declined. Roll on the weekend after next...

So, a new team of 6?

Bcat
Oz
James
Danny
Shann
Danny's mate


Out: Jez, Dan, Lou

Rubbish. Utter rubbish.

hotel wifi?

Sheraton Shanghai - Broadband - RMB 120 per day.

Good connection though.

Did not disgrace ourselves at all. Controversial new style of rounds led to too many 10 out of 10s, took the edge off the quiz for me. Great moments...John sticking his neck out and fighting the group decision over romance vs crime, if only Spurs were that determined....James10 and his european map drawing...Sophie and her knowledge of big russian bells....Dannyboy and his hat-trick of shooters...me and Bette Davis. James10 won the individual round (well played Sir) and we would of won the team round if 'we' had just taken a few seconds to check one of the answers(no fingers will be pointed). As pointed out, perhaps if we had had a 6th member we would of done better than equal third. Never mind, there's always next week. (Anyone ever heard the song' Brother can you spare me a dollar?)

I fucked up the team challenge in my theory of getting the answers in as quickly as possible. Sorry Chaps!

Still, I got the invididual challenge again, so screw ya!

Just joking!

A creditable 3rd place. But me and Danny left kicking ourselves over three points dropped that we coulda got and won us the quiz (albeit the team only got 7 questions wrong in the whole quiz and an impressive final tally of 57):

What J is the state capital of Mississipi?
In what sport would you find a Free Safety?
What 7 letter fish family is the Anchovie in?

Grrrr. Shit. Bollox.

Okay, I think the state capital of Mississipi is Jackson, BUT I'm only guessing that because you've given us a clue so did the quiz master also say it begins with a J ? Is it the right answer ?

In what sport would you find a Free Safety? No idea which probably means it's an American sport. I say Ice Hockey ?

What 7 letter fish family is the Anchovie in? Nope.

What's all this about changing the rules ?

Jackson is correct.

American Football for Free Safety.

Anchovy = Herring family.


The extra point you would have given us still wouldnt have been sufficent for 2nd, so nevermind.


57 points, I'm pretty sure, is our highest ever total at the quiz.

I thought you were the expert on all thing associated with American Football.
