i have been informed by the quizmaster that quizzes in the chat room have been ressurected!!! whoo hoo. WHY i was not informed earlier!! so anyone else up for it? quizmaster will let us know when and where.

When did quizmaster tell you this?
I used to enjoy a good quiz in there! im game for one as long as Fly doesn't play cos he's too good at them!

if u come in now we might haggle him into doing one tonite!!

As usual, I can't get into the bloody chatroom even though Ive disabled my antivirus thing. I think this computer is dying on me again!

pj u are missing the quiz !!! shame on you

I didn't even know the quizzes had stopped :blush:

As I recall, it was always Tiggs who won!

I think we shared it pretty equally Fly. :)

Kooks do you mind terribly is I hijack your thread to ask a question??

I thought this an ideal place, cos people who like quizzes will no doubt look here and hopefully help me with my questions.

I am doing a quiz for my Mother in Law's tea club - as the answers are all 'pop' groups she has asked me to do it and I am stuck on two of them. [Note most of the previous 38 answers have been groups from the late 70's, but not exclusively!]

Anyway the first is an anagram:

CRIPIGLESS [5,5]

and the second question is:

Root Vegetables?


[an eg of one I did get was a band for a barrell maker? - answer Alice Cooper]

Can anyone help?

btw there are no prizes - just the kudos amongst the old ladies at who is the hippest and trendiest!!!

The first one is the Spice Girls.

I'll get back to you on No 2.

Actually is the second one Abba - they are all Swedes? :wacko:

Oh wow Ceri - thanks so much :hug:- it has been driving me mad. Are you sure about the second one? Only that one of the other answers was also Abba.

Mr F reckoned there was a group called 'Potato Head' - but I think he is just trying to make his Mum look daft - and I have never heard of the Potato Heads before!!

I have never heard of Potato Head, I favour the Abba concept myself...are you sure they were the right answer to the other question? :unsure:

Unless you know a group called The Celeriacs?!! :laugh:

Ceri - I am now questioning my first answer [Abba] see what you think?

The clue was 'don't grab banish it'.

Ceri - I am now questioning my first answer [Abba] see what you think?

The clue was 'don't grab banish it'.


How on earth did you work that out to be Abba??? :unsure:

don't gr ab ba nish it

I'm thinking your second one might be the Wurzels.


But dont tell anyone I told you so :ninja:

Well I think they are very weird clues!! :wacko:

What about the Smashing Pumpkins for the second question?

I believe a pumpkin is a gourd rather than a root vegetable, actually Andrea :bag:

I thought that after I posted it, clever clogs :wink_kiss

Well my thougt process was "oh I don't know think a pumpkin is a root vegetable"
My brain never even came up with the word gourd. Actually that word always reminds me of "The life of Brian" :laugh:

Is wurzel a root vegetable then? :sad:

Wurzel :

shortened form of mangel-wurzel, a type of beet with a large root, often grown as cattle feed; also called mangold-wurzel

How sad must you be to know THAT??!! :laugh: :ninja:

Oooh it's soooooo easy to mask your own inadequacy by mocking others' ability isn't it, dear?

Oooh it's soooooo easy to mask your own inadequacy by mocking others' ability isn't it, dear?


Yup. :bag:

flip the questions are soooo hard?!!!! i have no idea. what happended to normal questions like; which band got a number 1 with this song kinda thing!

my first thought was the wurzels I couldnt remember their name all I could remember was that stupid song I've got a brand new combine harvester.

You guys are stars - Floops what a swotty thing to know, but I love swotty thinking types - ta petal!!

:wub:

'snuffin :bag:

Oh **** off.

shut it, thicko.

Right. You wait for the chatroom quiz. You just ruddy wait big nose.

Uhuh, and your number of wins to date so far is.....?

Er, EXCUSE me, but I have won two quizzes out of five I have played ACTUALLY!! :mad2:

right you are then. Two.

See you friday?

I MIGHT do. http://www.the-land-community.com/landfiles/smilies/leberwurst.gif

Care to put some SOMs on it, you know, to make it interesting, like? :ninja:

OK. 1000 SOM's says I score higher than you do. :bag:

Nah, I'm only interested in the winner. 1000 soms to the winner of the first quiz of the night on Friday (provided we're both on-line, obviously)

Now all you two want, is to hope Quizzy's around Friday night :ninja:

I heard you have a certain influence over him, ILS....

I heard you have a certain influence over him, ILS....

Well this is true Floops :wink2:


Are you going to make it worth my while? :ninja:

no.


:devil:

Forget it then !

I don't like the quiz! Im sure I got the question after everybody else because when it came up, then the answer came up straight away - 1 second later! Then the quizmaster said it had taken 7 seconds or whatever for them to answer!!

Anyway I think Patsy and Ceri cheated the other night!!! :wink_kiss

Clare i thought this too! I don't know if it's becasue you don't have broadband, but the connection is slower so you don't see it as quick.
having said that, I did get one easy question before everyone else.
So actually I think it's just that everyone was quicker than you and me!
it was my first quizz, I'm sure practise makes perfect :smartie:
It also helps if you can spell :laugh:

I've got broadband but I figured there must be some sort of "lag" on there because on my computer the answers were out almost instantaneously with the questions. Also my answer came before the person's who scored the points a couple of times but Quizmaster explained that the order we could see it wasn't necessarily the order they reached him.

I don't see how anyone can cheat because they are automated aren't they? or am I being niaive? :laugh:

No you are not being naive Critique, it is impossible to cheat as it is an automated programme and as Quizmaster explained just because the answer comes up on your screen 1st doesn't mean it comes up on his screen 1st...

In fact last night - my answer came up on my screen 1st 6 times, yet obviously it didn't come up on Quizzies screen 1st - I really must learn to type quicker!

Bob, I do have broadband and we pay more for one of the fastest ones!

Anyway Im just a sour looser!! :boxing:

So I stand by the accusation I have made against Patsy and Ceri!! :naughty: (even though I know it's impossible!!)

Oh **** off.

:thumbsup:

Sad News:

I have it very good authority that Quizzy the Quizmaster won't be able to make it on Friday night, so sadly our wager will have to wait, Ceri.

There's always online Boggle though :ninja:

Wot the ecks Boggle?

http://www.hrejsi.cz/boggle/obr/boggle.jpg

You make words out of the letters and stuff, it's fun :bag:

Oh **** off.


:sad:

Thought you were my friend!

:sad:

Thought you were my friend!


Ceridwen is NO ONE's friend. :shocking:

Did this used to be called Yatze! many moons ago???

Also to those who think Patsy and Ceri cheated....having sat next to Patsy and watched her play, it is very impressive...accuracy and lightening speed are essential and she has both, she was putting in the answer before I had finished reading the question.

Nope, Yahtzee was about 5 dice, and you had to get different poker hands with them - 2 of a kind, full house etc.

That was good too :w00t:

Also to those who think Patsy and Ceri cheated

No one can cheat in the Chatroom quizzes, it is impossible. The first answer to reach the Quizmaster is the one that gets the points...

Oh my god......there's no hope, none at all :laugh:

Actually yahtzee was okay cos it was like poker.

No, :cry: you shouldn't upset me like that :cry:


I get unstable.

Anyway I think Patsy and Ceri cheated the other night!!! :wink_kiss [/COLOR][/QUOTE]

Quizzy isn't around for a few days Pasty, so I doubt there will be another quiz until next week now! :sad:

No there is no quiz tonight... Quizmaster is out!

OK. 1000 SOM's says I score higher than you do. :bag:

Patsy is walking away with the next one!

I think you'll find this is mine now!

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61/Patsy271/crown.jpg

Just wondering if there's going to be another quiz anytime soon. I am completely rubbish at them, but still would love to play?

Is there going to be one, is there? :phone1:

I'm sure there will be Gel but they are more spontaneous than they used to be, if quizzy is in he will normally accommodate!

Fab, fingers crossed then :D Sometimes its nice to show people the ignorance you have worked so hard to build up

You will be hard pushed to come last, as over the years I have perfected the art of bringing up the rear :laugh:

I think you have over looked my dexterity and intelligence.

I usually get about nil points.

Unfortunately it does not in my case. Nil points.

I am gifted in other areas.

Sorry, but is that a rogue ' I see here? :angry:

Get stuffed.
