Sorry not to have made it Steve. Even if I’d been on my own and could have joined in, the signal at cockshoot dyke where I’m moored is virtually non existent. Maybe we’ll pass each other over the weekend and put a face to a name after all this time spending Friday nights together!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 The signal at Horning wasn't much better, but just good enough for me to run the quiz from there. Mike was the winner by a margin of 1 point over Bern in second place and NikO in 3rd. Congratulations to Mike, who will be QM next week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnut Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I promise to do my best ——(to do my duty to god, to help other people and to keep the brownie law, or some other wording we had to recite when I became a brownie, age?) ——- to be there on Friday night after too long an absence. Good to wave to you on the river the other day Steve, face to name and all that. I think I might have missed you off my ‘Springer’s Retreat’ write-up. Comes from having too many guests on board, I end up not knowing whether I’m here or there! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Oh my goodness Kate. The Brownie Guide Promise. That takes me back to being a pixie and then a gnome. If any of that comes up in Nik’s questions then I’m claiming Biker points for you and me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveO Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 And the winner was....... Turnoar, who will be back on QM duty next week. I was in 2nd place and Tigerhawk was in 3rd. Thanks to all who joined. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnoar Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Hi to all, I shall be hosting the quiz this evening, usual time (8.30), usual place ( https://www.nbnplus.co.uk/chat/ ) and at least 36 points up for grabs with maybe the odd bonus thrown in if too easy. Free clues too if necessary so no questions will go to waste. Six rounds, order and topics as below: 1. Moths or butterflies 2. Abroad 3. By the seaside Interval (recharge your wine glass or visit the Guinness stand perhaps if at the Beccles ‘Boat Show?) 4. The movies 5. Politic’s 6. More peers And it’s good luck!

Turnoar Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Last weeks quiz will be hosted tonight by yours truly, fingers crossed for a quorate turnout, half a dozen of you will do but the more the merrier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnut Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Oh good, I didn't miss those interesting sounding rounds then, after all. I'll be there this evening. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnoar Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The winner was.... Bern with a whopping 18 points followed by Tigerhawk and Kate and tied on points for the remaining contenders. By sheer coincidence two of the answers to the movie rounds were screened back to back on one of the freeview channels Saturday evening, Perfect Storm and Running Man. There is no quiz this Friday but it will be back on September 1st, usual time and place! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for hosting. The round on the little known Broads was really informative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I think I was third. Might have been Grendel? Either way it was an outstanding win by Bern. 👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bern Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I will be hosting tomorrow nights quiz, and I have really struggled to come up with topics. Sooo ...... I have decided to do two halves each with 20 questions all about random stuff (general knowledge). There will be a break for glasses to be recharged and raised in honour of our missing friend and fellow quizzer Mike who so sadly lost his fight yesterday. Quiz will start about 8.30 in the chat room https://www.nbnplus.co.uk/chat/ no user name needed. Hope to see you then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a very fitting tribute, albeit very sad too I shall do my utmost to be at the quiz this week to honour "our missing friend and fellow quizzer", and of course a top Quizmaster "To Mike ... " 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I never met Mike but I still feel a certain sadness at the news. I will also do my best to be there amongst my Friday Friends. That sounds like a good idea for the questions tomorrow Bern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerhawk Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'll have a dram of Penderyn Whisky in his honour. Distilled in Llandudno, which was Mike's hometown I believe. RIP Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
