I believe toon may be trying to cheat.

well if @toon_84 hasn't learnt that his chosen approach won't get him points, then he obviously isn't serious about winning this.  Can't believe he's not interested in my least favourite Xmas present, I have it on good authority that it might be a pair of Kashmir socks!

Hang on a minute. It says 10 points for each correct guess.

There are 6 right answers in there somewhere.

Scores on the floors!  after Round 7

Colour me impressed! 


So in 2015 at the Bliss Seeker household we had the following nationalities around for Xmas dinner;

British/English

Lithuanian

Polish

Indian

American

Australian

and on the high chair was a British/American

 

I found out that day that Lithuanians and Polish don't share a common Baltic language and can't communicate with each other.  Serves me right for thinking they all look the same.. 

 

Kubi only guessed 5 nationalities but somehow still managed to top score with 60 having picked up the bonus points. Well done him, even though that is a little scary...

Rob and Nooney also are a credit to their families, with a lovely high score of 50. 

Everyone else pretty much scored something that round.  Special deductions though for Toon for his flippant scattergunning, and Gechal, for putting down African as a nationality.

So annoyed that I've actually got to do work and haven't participated in this quiz much, I'll be hoping to get involved more tomorrow!

Im like the man city of this, proper steamrolling :cool:

You've played really well this season and should be congratulated, but anything can happen and you've not been doing that well in recent rounds so I'm hoping you drop some points so we can catch up 😁😁

QUESTION 8

You'd have noticed it's a little nippily out there at this time of year.  On Saturday I went to Matalan to buy some winter attire having realised my current wardrobe was a little dated and wasn't keeping me warm enough. 

At Matalan I bought some thermal socks, a belt, some jumpers and another item of clothing which I've never owned before.  What is it?

 

50 points on offer!

YOU HAVE 1 HOUR - THIS ROUND WILL END AT 11am TODAY!!
