    I agree, but the guessometer helped. I got another question wrong by not reading it correctly.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Hmm! The first host of Millionaire in the UK was Chris Tarrant...not on the list...

    I wouldn't have expected to be that far up the leaderboard - I had a couple of fairly appalling days in September.
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    new month, 2 days old, silly mistakes each day

    can I pretend I'm being sporting to give others a head start, and suggest Anna Baptist does the same ? :wink:
  • DooneDoone Shipmate
    Yes please 😊!
  • Anna_BaptistAnna_Baptist Shipmate
    Sorry Kipper,

    but the best time to kick a man is when he's down
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    You're a hard woman, AB!
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    ah well, I'll probably do my usual and forget to play at the weekends (no work to be avoiding) and give you a clear run to the top anway !
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Wow - I got two film questions right!
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Guessometer was working hard this morning!
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate

    Bl**dy badly! <brickwall>
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I always get the "stepping on a crack" rhyme wrong - it must be a Pond thing, as I'd never heard of it until I started playing the Quiz.
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    I’d never heard to the rhyme either, though I did know you shouldn’t step on them.

    I’ve been teaching the last two evenings and am too tired to read the questions properly - two wrong.

    I can only ever think of the lovely Posy Simmonds cartoon with one child saying to the other and if you step on a crack the bears will get you... :grin:
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    The bears bit comes from an A.A. Milne poem, or maybe it was already a thing and he versified it. Not sure where the mother's back comes from, but I think Piglet might remember it next time it comes up.
    Lines and Squares
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I knew the A.A. Milne poem about the bears; it was the "break your mother's back" bit that I think may be a cross-Pond thing.

    That got me too. And I disagreed with the email question!

    I too got caught out by that AND the email question.

    I kept hitting "submit" and it wouldn't, so I came out of the quiz and tried again. And again. So it thought I'd taken 222 seconds ... :rage:

    And I got the insect question wrong. :(
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Piglet, I had the same problem with the submit button. Silly thing, isn't it?

    Must be bugs in the quiz. (Dad joke.)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Third place today - that's better! :)

    Yes. It was a baaad quiz day. I’ve only just realised that the topic had ‘turned a page’ too, so didn’t realise anyone else was talking on here for a few days 😂

    I’ll never get up that high, just too slow on my iPad. I’m not much quicker on the computer, either!
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    I play on my iPad which is definitely slower than my pc (which is reserved for work).
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    TWO American sport questions! 😕
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    ... and I got both of them (and the film question) right!!!

    The Guessometer was smokin' hot today! :smiley:

    I got them both wrong 😕 but I knew the others.

    I'm just grateful not to be the first non-ten today.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Damn - got the wrong Beatle. Brainless piglet.

    !!! The wrong Beatle! How could you :grin:

    ION I managed a ten today by remembering that our 'Murrican cousins call something by the wrong name :wink:

    As soon as I'd clicked "submit" I realised I'd got the wrong Beatle - in the back of my head I knew it should have been George Harrison - but by then it was too late.

    Sadly, my knowledge of the Addams family doesn't extend to cousins ...
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    I got my presidential wives mixed up :grimace:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Briefly on the top! The Fleet Fingered Ones™ will be here soon to take over. ;)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Bl**dy submit button wouldn't work again. 78 seconds my ar$e.

    :rage: :rage: :rage:

    At least I got the right First Lady - thank you Guessometer!
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    🙄 A repeat question that I thought I got wrong last time, so chose a different answer. Turns out I got it right last time. 😂
