Wigmore Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 It's getting hot in here! June is up next, and the heatwave has taken hold. Due to some sort of football thing or something over the summer, OTF use went down a little, leaving me scraping the barrel to put together 10 questions - how inconsiderate of you all. Round 6 - JUNE 1. Solve this picture quiz to explain why @Harryseaess couldn't get a pint one Friday after work in June! You need to pretty much get the exact phrase for a point. 2. Whose "death" in June sparked the following comments on OTF? "You may say I shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but jeez what a git!" "We should just merge this with the Max Clifford memorial thread" "Never heard of him, but RIP anyway I guess." "Probably glad he died before Harry Kane won us the World Cup" 3. What, according to OTF, is the best biscuit? 4. It's the semi-annual bastard child post question! What was the subject of an OTF post in June in which the poster talks of being "stunned at their reaction" to "an amazing piece of film", but received an embarrassing ZERO replies? 5. In June, @eldeniro asked OTF what is the largest animal we think we could clingfilm wrap around a lamp post. For three points, name three answers given. Only three guesses allowed! 6. "You are being monitored", "***VIRUS***VIRUS***" and "FBI_Surveillance_Van_X15Z42B2" were all suggested by OTF members in June as potential names for what? 7. In June, what foodstuff was there a shortage of that @mark1985 was very happy about, proclaiming "Good, get rid of the stuff" 8. It's time for the semi-annual self-indulgent question that's all about me! In June, I posted about going to a karaoke bar and singing one song before immediately going home, leaving my colleagues in a state of "shock and bewilderment". What was the song? 9. In June, @Readingfanman suggested that it would be a shambles for the PC to win the voting for OTF's favourite video game platform in @Barry Cartman's thread, given that it was not a games console. What was ironic about this comment? 10. In June, what, in @Astafjevs's view, was a thread that he thought the mods should be regularly checking to hand out infractions (presumably due to how embarrassing the subject of the thread can be perceived to be)? I'm off to Lille in the morning for a Christmas party! So your deadline is a little longer here, please get your answers in by 7pm on Sunday 16 December! Over and out!

sebsy Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 11 hours ago, Wigmore said: QUESTION 2: What are these OTF quotes talking about from May? "haahah ahhaha what happened to UK oh my....", "WHAT'S JUST HAPPENED?", "WTF happened there? Did I miss something?", "What the hell happened just then?", "Wait.. what?", "That was... OK." Clearly, something ****ing mental has happened here. But what was it? What happened that caused an immediate WTF reaction? Ah, of course, it can only be the most extra TV event of the year.... It was, as Mr_Whippy so eloquently puts it, about the stage invasion during UK's Eurovision entry! This, to be fair, was highly unusual behaviour. Maximum points (well, just one point) to @Confused Clarity, @sebsy, @DB08 and @KF1990 @Semi Skilled Milk with an absolute nil points here with his suggestion that the OTT reactions were simply because someone's hat blew off..... Was already in bed by the time answers were revealed last night. In the interests of fairness, I'm not sure if I should have got a point for this one? My answer was ' 2. Logical guess here, Eurovision is in May and I recall seeing we got absolutely no points at all so that? '. I used logic to guess it was something to do with Eurovision with it being in May, but I didn't get there was a stage invasion. Also, on a look on wikipedia it also appears we didn't get 0 points so all I really got here was 'Eurovision'. Is that enough for a point? If it is then fair enough, but if not hopefully CC also only used the word Eurovision without getting the stage invasion part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigmore Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 QUESTION 1: Solve this picture quiz to explain why Harryseaess couldn't get a pint one Friday after work in June! You need to pretty much get the exact phrase for a point. Don't you love a picture quiz, it's great fun! Let's unscramble this one... On 01/06/2018 at 17:33, Harryseaess said: Couldn't even have an after work pint, went to three different bars and all their card machines weren't working. Fuming. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44335804 It was the Worldwide Visa Payment Issue! Where nobody could buy anything on their card one day. Strangely, this happened just one week after an OTF thread about how people still liked to use cash... so I think an OTFer brought down the system. Quids in here are @sebsy, @Confused Clarity, @Scott1892, @Bliss Seeker, @gechal, @dafuge, @The_jagster, @KF1990 and @mark1985 @toon_84 clearly isn't one for Pictionary, with his answer to this being "Dickie Bird forgot it was Planet Earth Day".

Wigmore Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 QUESTION 2: Whose "death" in June sparked the following comments on OTF? "You may say I shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but jeez what a git!" "We should just merge this with the Max Clifford memorial thread" "Never heard of him, but RIP anyway I guess." "Probably glad he died before Harry Kane won us the World Cup" Connoisseurs amongst may have noticed the strategically placed quotation marks around the word "death" in this question, suggesting that this may in fact have not been a death at all... On 06/06/2018 at 09:28, gechal said: I didn't read it as bills seeker, just as bliss seeker. I thought you'd died On 06/06/2018 at 09:42, Mr Villa said: Also. I thought Bliss was dead. On 06/06/2018 at 09:52, Confused Clarity said: I wasn't sure if Bliss was dead or was having a narcissistic moment, either way, I read the title wrong. The "death" in question was in fact that of Bliss Seeker! A confusing thread title lead OTF to believe he had conked it, hence the rather unsavoury tributes flooding. Just one correct answer here. Who do you think that was? You guessed it - @sebsy gets a point! Two of you went for Fred Dinenage, who isn't dead. He is in fact my local news presenter, and a lovely man. Shame on you!

Wigmore Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 QUESTION 3: What, according to OTF, is the best biscuit? No ****ing about with this question. No fancy wording or clever pictures or anything like that. What's the best biscuit, you ****s? With an impressive 28% of the vote, the Chocolate Hobnob takes the crown! Nobody voted for Nice, which isn't very nice. @sebsy, @Confused Clarity, @Scott1892, @Bliss Seeker, @gechal, @bestbrother, @grff, @Ackter, @KF1990 can enjoy their tea in peace here, with a point each. @Mr_Demus took the opportunity during his answer to this question to protest about what he perceives to be a UK bias in this quiz. If he would like to confirm his nationality, I will be happy to accommodate this at a later stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigmore Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 QUESTION 4: It's the semi-annual bastard child post question! What was the subject of an OTF post in June in which the poster talks of being "stunned at their reaction" to "an amazing piece of film", but received an embarrassing ZERO replies? A tough question here. The nature of the post suggests unpopularity, so not an easy one to remember. That's why I only do questions like this on a semi-annual basis. On 22/06/2018 at 12:08, gechal said: It is all over the internet but thought it good to post here, because why not? I am stunned at the reaction I had to this. Amazing peice of film. It was about the Paul McCartney Carpool Karaoke! Clearly not as popular as @gechal hoped, who was not only the only person to post about it, but was the only person to get a point on this question.

A nice easy one here. On 14/06/2018 at 15:12, mark1985 said: We are installing our new WiFi at the moment. Any funny/original names for it?

Wigmore Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 QUESTION 7: In June, what foodstuff was there a shortage of that mark1985 was very happy about, proclaiming "Good, get rid of the stuff" Brace yourselves guys, points are about to get a bit thin on the ground, as a lot of you rather struggled with the end of this round. On 26/06/2018 at 18:32, The Guy From The Sunny Place said: People here in the island are puzzled by the reported shortage of halloumi in the UK. Rest assured this is not a conspiracy. On 29/06/2018 at 14:37, mark1985 said: Good. Get rid of the vile stuff. We had a halloumi shortage! Which is particularly bad news for the 8 of you who thought it was Marmite. Even worse news for @mark1985 though, who loses a point for failing to get his own question right @Confused Clarity is the one and only winner here in a round which stumped almost everyone.

Wigmore Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 QUESTION 8: It's time for the semi-annual self-indulgent question that's all about me! In June, I posted about going to a karaoke bar and singing one song before immediately going home, leaving my colleagues in a state of "shock and bewilderment". What was the song? Well, clearly nobody bloody listens to me in this place. On 15/06/2018 at 09:24, Wigmore said: Went to a karaoke bar with work last night for someone's leaving do. I sang Under The Sea from The Little Mermaid and then immediately went home, presumably leaving my colleagues in a state of shock and bewilderment. I produced what I thought was a rather beautiful edition of Under The Sea (Little Mermaid). But since none of you remembered this, I might as well not have bothered. I did particularly enjoy @grff's answer of Children by Robert Miles though - I would absolutely love to do an instrumental one time at karaoke.

Wigmore Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 QUESTION 9: In June, readingfanman suggested that it would be a shambles for the PC to win the voting for OTF's favourite video game platform in Barry Cartman's thread, given that it was not a games console. What was ironic about this comment? This was a really tough question actually, but I did find it quite funny to read and @Barry Cartman's superb thread absolutely deserved a mention. On 12/06/2018 at 11:58, Readingfanman said: It's a shambles the PC might win It's not even "A games console" is it. On 12/06/2018 at 12:00, Barry Cartman said: You voted for an iPhone ffs The irony was that, while @Readingfanman complained that the PC should not win as it is not a games console, he voted for the iPhone to win, which is in fact a telephone. Nobody got particularly close to this one, apart from @grff who gets just about close enough for me to award a point to him. Congratz! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wigmore Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 QUESTION 10: In June, what, in Astafjev's view, was a thread that he thought the mods should be regularly checking to hand out infractions? Sadly, this low participation and low scoring round is going to end on an absolute damp squib. I can only apologise for what has clearly been a lack of quality this time around... hopefully July sees everything back to how it should be! On 04/06/2018 at 22:28, Harryseaess said: Come on... Don't lie to me and pretend that none of you are watching Love Island. On 04/06/2018 at 23:48, Astafjevs said: The mods should be checking this thread regularly, handing out infractions. Harry gets the biggest for starting it. The thread was about Love Island! And nobody got it! Booooo!
