I haven't done mine yet.

I'm drunk at the moment and contemplating whether to do it now and give drunk answers.

I also have some square voice in my head telling me to wait until I'm sober because you have a lead that you don't want to throw away.

Alf, I have to say I got one answer and it's so hilariously misheard lyrics I don't know what to do

I understand. Google search is forever changing the answers to stuff

[Zizu]

I understand. Google search is forever changing the answers to stuff


:)
Oddly enough I invented a game I call ..GOOGLE

You need at least 2 people

Between you pick a christian name …
eg David

Then everyone picks a famous name who they think will appear first in Google ..

I’d guess Bowie but someone else may think Beckham..

Actual answer .. currently.. is

David Essex apparently

I don't like question 4. I think a simple choice of word can cost you.

hopefully either will get the points

I think there is a good chance I might get caught. I'm not very confident on a lot of these questions.

It's a tough round, I just hope it's not only tough for me but for everyone else too.

[Niamh.]

Sorry for the hold up, I've had to PM someone to ask something about their answer and I won't be able to post the results until they reply :skull:

[Alf]

We're not having double points are we?

[Niamh.]

We're not having double points are we?

Yes we are, most people voted yes

[Alf]

Yes we are, most people voted yesWell of course they'd vote "yes" they don't have a nice lead.

This is already double the amount of questions so it's basically two rounds in one.

If I don't win I will be contacting my lawyers.

Van gogh over Da Vinci? Was is wrong with you people?

Sorry for spoiling your reveal. You should have probably just done the reveal first. Once you put this rounds scores up it was easy to work out.

I was banned from DigitalSpy about ten years ago for arguing continuously with a few ManU fans who basically controlled the Football threads ..

They all baited me one evening after Barcelona had been heavily defeated and I retaliated .. they’d been winding me up for months prior to that fateful evening.

Crazy thing is I’ve tried Registering in a few different names over the years- using quite a few different email addresses but I’ve never been accepted back in .. the requests get vetted and that’s the last I hear each time .

Sad thing is they picked on loads of different people and always won .
I check on the forum occasionally and the same , familiar names are still there

So I'm glad it wasn't just me who misread the subject comment, swear I didn't see Science in the question when I read it

[Alf]

So I'm glad it wasn't just me who misread the subject comment, swear I didn't see Science in the question when I read itI'm guessing you went for English? And you're saying the person who went for Maths alao didn't read the question correctly?

You could be right or maybe the other person did read it right, Maths can sometimes be considered a form of Science.

That other person wasn't me by the way, I went for biology.

That other person wasn't me by the way, I went for biology.Yeah Maths is part of the STEM grouping

[Alf]

I think you gave me too many points. I work mine out to 77 points.I grassed myself up after being given too many points and I still finished second. I'm proud of my performance and my sportsmanship.

I think I deserve to win the fair play award?

[Zizu]

So I'm glad it wasn't just me who misread the subject comment, swear I didn't see Science in the question when I read it


Oh yeah !

Me too .. I put Maths as it’s my favourite subject ..

That said I’m dyslexic/ASD / adhd so I guess I have an excuse the rest were just careless
