deltablue Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 OK, I've updated the round schedule. If I've got it right we've got 3 slots left, though I'm eager to do a 3rd round if needed, probably for the final week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyboyz Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Swooperproop needs to be one of those to make it fair on the leaders. Maaka did last week, deisler is this week and I'm next so maybe Swooperproop in the first free slot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooperproop Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Well, unless you really want me to host, I didn't plan to. I mentally deduct myself 15 points though, that's why I (almost) never speak about my position in the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler26 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I think that Delta doing one last week would be good, considering that the leaders are doing three in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius1998 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I can do one but only if it is this Sunday and there is no spot available. If it is still going on around mid-May though, I'll happily do one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler26 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 1. Who was the first teenager in NBA history to record a 'double-double' in his first two NBA games? (Double-Double is 10+ in two of the following; Points, Steals, Assists, Rebounds) Karl Anthony Towns 2. Which country would you be stood in, if you were the absolute furthest from any coastline? China (it is almost right on the Kazakhstan border, but not 'in') 3. Name the ride that has recently reopened at Alton Towers? The Smiler 4. What does Jon Snow know? 5. Name two Marvel symbiotes? You could have Venom, Toxin, Carnage, Anti-Venom or Hybrid to name, but a few.. 6. What is the state capital of Delaware? Dover 7. What was the number 1 grossing film in the US in 1986? Top Gun 8. Name me one of the producers of the 1998 track 'Music Sounds Better With You'? was produced by one of Daft Punk, who was Thomas Bangalter. The other was legendary French producer Alain Braxe This answer scored 0%. NO-ONE got this right.9. There is a road that is over 1,300ft below sea level on Earth. Where is it? It's Highway 90 in Israel. I won't accept The Dead Sea. 10. There is a sea with no shores. Name it. The Sargasso Sea Winner of the answer that made me smile the most: LeedsUnitedFan2 with 'Basket McBallface' Special mention to Raware who managed to get an answer purely by luck (He was talking about the wrong person) and then talked himself out of a right answer (He said Jordan/Israel for the road question, then plumped for Jordan) Scores on the doors DB08: 6 Maaka: 8 Pompeyboyz: 7 Bitner: 2 Deltablue: 4 dllu: 6 swooperproop: 4 Nobby_McDonald: 2 Jimbokav1971: 4 cplpeters1900: 6 Koetzer: 3 dafuge: 2 LeedsUnitedFan2: 3 (+1) Raware: 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raware Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 ...Special mention to Raware who managed to get an answer purely by luck (He was talking about the wrong person) and then talked himself out of a right answer (He said Jordan/Israel for the road question, then plumped for Jordan)... Damn it! I knew it was a country around The Dead Sea...50/50 chance and went for the wrong one . As for the answer by pure luck...The real Jon Snow is a journalist and a presenter on Channel 4 ...I've never seen Game of Thrones so had no idea who this other Jon Snow was who you were talking about.

Not sure if the bloke from the 1st Country is classed as African or Asian so picked a 100% Asian too. Not sure my answer will be accepted. 4. I know it's after a certain date so I was able to make an educated stab. 5. This is really annoying. I should know this but don't. 6. I know this. 7. I know this. 8. I think I know this, but not sure that it's the answer that is needed. 9. Seems pretty simple which makes me think I've got i wrong. 10. Not a scooby.

deltablue Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 OK, Swooperproop, you should really do a round under the circumstances. You've still got a few weeks to think up of questions. Assuming you take the Week 18 slot (this is week 15) and I finish up that just leaves Round 19 open. I know LeedsUnitedFan2 expressed interest earlier so I just thought I'd check on that before penciling him in for that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooperproop Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Okay mate, will do a round. But if Week 18 starts on Sunday the 17th of April, I'd prefer Week 19(if possible) - not home on the 17th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompeyboyz Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Quick pointer for you guys. I am going to be out moat of Sunday and will be busy watching live Wrestlemania on the night so highly unlikely to post results that day. So the question is, do you want me to do it Saturday evening or Monday morning? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius1998 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Saturday evening in Leeds is Sunday for me anyway. I'd prefer Saturday because my school reopens on Monday for the new term (I have to reach school by 7.15 a.m.) but then I think some people won't be able to submit their answers till late on Saturday or Sunday, so, I won't complain if you post them on Monday.
