    Very large dram of 18yo Highland Park for the Guessometer today - it knew all about TV shows I've never watched and singers I've never heard of! :smiley:

    Displaying my lack of kerygmatic expertise again ...

    At least I now know where to find the shortest verse in the OT.
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Ahh! I made a stupid mistake! At least there wasn't a question on lint though.
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    I suppose its a good thing that I tripped up over an advertising slogan?
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I tripped over the wee dog ...
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Fillums. Again :cry:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host

    I kept hunting for "knees" to complete the Bette Davis question...
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    Aha, the Dr. Parkinson quote.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    For once I get a decent time* (32 seconds) and b*gger it up by getting a chuffing film question wrong.

    :rage: :rage: :rage:

    * by using the computer in D's office rather than the Tablet
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Yes, it's far quicker on a pc. It seems to take forever to scroll down!
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    That Sacramento question from yesterday is my bete noir (personal nightmare) I get it wrong every time.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I mixed up Timothy and Titus. :(
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    :lol:
    Not only did I not read the questions, but I think the Guessometer must be on vacation somewhere!
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    Well I did read the questions. Some of them several times through. :confounded:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Proudly in thirteenth place, holding up the rest of the players!
    Someone has to do it! :lol:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I can confirm that the Guessometer isn't on holiday, but it hadn't read that book either.

    Oh well - one wrong guess and a few right ones ... :smiley:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Chuffing submit button wouldn't work! 124 seconds my ar$e.

    :rage: :rage: :rage:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Belsnickel is going to see Guessometer tonight instead of Santa. He's getting coal in his stocking.

    I had the correct answer, and G whispered in my ear to click another choice. Guess what. I was the right one!

    Oh no he isn't!

    Unlike me, he knows who George Carlin is. :mrgreen:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Yes he is! Coal and sticks!!!
    :lol:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Actually, you're quite right - chuffing 'Murcan sportsmen and singers!

    Bah humbug.
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Good. No fillum questions on New Year's Day.
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    Anna Baptist was last month's winner:


    1. Anna_Baptist (374 points, 7 wins)
    2. Jonah_the_Whale (354 points, 4 wins)
    3. Gussie (317 points, 4 wins)
    4. ceesharp (299 points, 3 wins)
    5. TreeBee (294 points, 4 wins)
    6. jedijudy (275 points, 1 wins)
    7. piglet (234 points, 0 wins)
    8. TheRogue (225 points, 0 wins)
    9. SidneyRip (213 points, 0 wins)
    10. Heavenlyannie (184 points, 0 wins)

    I think we can crown her 2018 champion with 4 monthly titles. Ceesharp, Loveheart, Leorningcniht and yours truly each had two monthly wins.


  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Oh! Oh!!!
    Top of the pile for a minute or so!!
  • Pearl B4 SwinePearl B4 Swine Shipmate
    JJudy looks great up there, being high and mighty !
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Thanks, Pearlie!! Back to the middle of the pile today! ;)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I think I'm going to have to put a sticky on my computer with "1st Chronicles" written on it ... :mrgreen:
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    Ooh, naughty. No spoilers now...
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I always think I'm far enough west that most of the other quizzists have already played before I do.
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    Funnily enough Mrs Whale and I came across those very verses in our "Get-through-the-whole-bible-in-two-years" Moravian daily readings, and I was able to inform her that they were the shortest verses in the Old Testament. So the hours and days I have put in on the Crew's Quiz have finally proven invaluable.
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Well, blow me down: I made it to being a Daily Winner :grin:

    Back to reality today I fear.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Sod that for a lark - I swear I hit the right answer for question 1 but the screen must have moved.

    :rage:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    The Guessometer was on scorching form today - two correct film guesses! :smiley:
  • Pearl B4 SwinePearl B4 Swine Shipmate
    There ought to be a special daily or monthly award for the slowest, most thoughtful answers. I used to share a special kinship with Uncle Pete, in this endeavor to carefully choose the most likely answers. (Dear man, resting in peace and glory). Now I must go it alone. Yes . . . It's All About Me.
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    I know what you mean, I process information slowly and have to scroll down an iPad!
    The credit card question is an odd one today and not correct in the UK context.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Third place on a Sunday - crikey! :smiley:

    It looks like today's "most thoughtful answers" prize might be awarded to @Anna_Baptist (though I suspect equipment malfunction rather than brain slowness).

    guessometer was of no help to me today
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    Yes, I'm afraid I used it up.

    You learn things doing these quizzes. Today I learned the Spanish for "apple", which I'm sure will be useful some day.
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
