Looks like @pockets gonna be March winner so just changed categories there @Tamarc , APOLOGIES if it fecks anybody up for March, i don't think it will but just in case.

I'm gonna start playing again, had a few months off, anybody any objections? I'm the Admin of the quiz (well @Rat is really but he asked me to take care of it years ago) but I don't get to see any questions/answers in advance, Honest. No problem if somebody else wants to be the Admin but it's an onerous task, the categories need changing regularly every 4 years

Be great if a few of the old regulars started playing more often, Eh @wiz569 @nara @Trabbs @spud1966 @river4ever @muskrat @Tamarc @Seedy_r0m @VectorZ @Rat @buzzer @idrob @IANB @dave24 @leemoo @leemo1234 @chopps @D 8 RCS @hatab

COMPETITION STARTS 1ST OF EVERY MONTH, PLAY EVERY DAY

[muskrat]

Well done pockets

 

[Seedy_r0m]

I'm the Admin of the quiz, (snipped) but I don't get to see any questions/answers in advance, (another snip) it's an onerous task, the categories need changing regularly every 4 years

You're doing a great job HH, I was once in the same position, however a series of unfortunate events saw me relinquish the role.
(that's my story and I'm damn well sticking to it)

As you said, the Q's & A's are not known beforehand, so as long as all players are playing with a straight bat, then all's well, but, as in life, there will always be a'holes who circumvent the rules for their own ends.

Anyways...I always disliked the Sports categories as these were mainly US'centric. As a previous winner, I can divulge that my strategy consisted of a good grounding in general knowledge, combined with a fast mouse click and scroll wheel.

 

[nara]

Aaaargh...an American Sports question in General Knowledge today! Not fair!

My lips are forever sealed Seedy.

Congratulations Happy H, can you try to miss about 5 or 6 days each month to give us mere mortals a chance.

 

[HappyH]

I think there used to be a guy (I guess) BigShug who ran away with the quiz every month, miles ahead of everybody
