Golden Spurtles, Tartans, Tetris & #PardewOut - WQ#154

WellWellWell, THAT was a mixed bag of nuts (some more than others)... fun & frustration.
The most improvisestest quiz in a looong time and yet we would have finished before 11pm hadn't it been for people who chose to talk instead of listening.. and then asking questions that had already been answered 5 times. NO MORE, I say, no more... time to tighten the reins...
That aside - DAQ**** got their second first in a row (and would have even without the bonus points they got for Verdienste um das Fortbestehen der Veranstaltungsreihe :) - thanks for heeding my (very last minute) call - Hendrik - you are my hero!!!! He should be yours too, because without his prompt and professional aid we would not have had any music.

Anyroad - points and stuff , no pics.
No Prediction of the Week either, wieder abgeschafft due to lack of interest.

Bele, Beetlejuice, Bergfest, Black & White Army - WQ#153

Last night marked half-time in CLS12, and at the sixth time of asking, DAQ**** finally beat the rest of the field to take home their first victory of the season. CONGRATS!! Still a few points to make up on Fietscherings**** but we have another 6 games to go. As usual, the backside of the season is more interesting. Top 3 teams now have the prerequisite 6 games and can start working on their Streichergebnisse .. Graces* need one more, BallZ* and LGQ two.


Yogi for next week is all Corner Boys', no idea what we're gonna get (last time they lost we did Martial Arts films ;), but as already announced, we will defo have a SCOTLAND round in WQ#154, for obvious reasons :)

Prediction of the Week for WQ#154 - no Toon for a change but SNOOKER. Shanghai Masters Final on Sunday. 
Send me your predictions for the 2 finalists, and the winner (that's your 50/50 joker ;)). Easy peasy 3 points. Deadline is SATURDAY 3 P.M.

That's basically it, I'm off into the WE - have a good one, see you soon.

(BTW - 2 October - annual "Ossi, Ossi, Ossi" round, 30 October - HALLOWEEN special )

Bubba Gump, Ben Arfa, bottles of vodka, and Beyoncé's birthday (totally passed me by) - WQ#152

Quick update, points & POTW before the weekend. It sure was fun last night, Fietscherings**** are openening a wee gap at the top and P+A(-A) not only came third but also moved up to third in the CL table. Despite (or because of?) that vodka bottle :D


































It was nice to have the time for video clips and other distractions (and still finish in time-ish) and good to see the new teams enjoying themselves after the shortest warm-up period. 

Anyroad, miles to go... POTW for WQ#153:
Name 2 goal scorers each for Germany (vs SCO) on Sunday, and England (vs SWI) on Monday. You canNOT write down 12 names in the hope of getting 1 right. 4 names for 4 points. That is assuming England score ;)
(if you think Götze will score, and then Götze will score - write Götze x 2.. in-joke)
Deadline is the respective KO time (GER-SCO Sun 8.45 / SWI-ENG Mon 8.45)

Have a good one, wherever you are, see you next week. If I don't see you - enjoy the holidays :D
Btw - Yogi is like Fog on the Tyne again...

PotW #WQ152 - if at first you don't succeed...

Right Queepz - since Newcastle are predictably unpredictable, and DAQ**** were the only ones to bother anyway, and everone (but Alan Parsnip) deserves a second chance - here's another PotW for WQ#152.
predict the results (win/draw/lose) for these four friendlies:

Czech Republic - USA!USA!USA!
Germany - Argentina
Ireland - Oman
England - Norway


Deadline is Wednesday 8.15pm

Also - I take suggestions for the music round. NO BOY- or GIRLBANDS. NO German Schlagers. NO Techno. NO Death or other Metal.  :D
Deadline for that one - Tuesday 8pm.
