i started doing really badly, scoring 2 or 3 a go, so i started using google and then decided that was defeating the point, so stopped doing them

Shame you couldn't have managed three more at your average of 8 Rock, as that would have put you at the top of the chart.
I do realise that by producing this chart people may now cheat, lie, defraud or simply not post a low score. But that is totally against the spirit of this thread, which is to laugh at ever "two twos and a zero" long's scores
.Only kidding, ever :wink: .

According to my chart, on November 2, which can only be a few pages back.
I presume that you are now going to edit that post and put a '1' in front of it?

Not sure, kelbray. It could be that your Internet Explorer settings are such that they are preventing the necessary scripts to work that produce the score and answers. This could be the case if you have vigilant admins and are posting at work.
If you are at home, then you may have to allow some scripts to work. Sorry, I'm not more technically minded. Strangely, my PC at home won't show the answers, but as the whole thing has now died it doesn't matter

well, i didnt even make it to the quiz today - i gave up after three seperate floating adverts started clogging up my machine.
I just don't go to sites that bother with them espionage-spam things, so no more quizzing for me till the Guardian stop with the lame bullshit adverts... :evil:

6 today.
Lovely question about Tony Dorigo too.
Did I ever tell you about the time my Dad sat next to TDs parents and sister on a coach to a match at Italia 90?
No? Well, my Dad sat next to TDs parents and sister on a coach to a match at Italia 90.
Thats it.

Good show lads. Nice to see the regulars keeping up the standards. Well done Fordy, you seem to be leading the way now. Nice new avatar Bill - who is it? :wink: Both your average scores go up by 0.1 as a result.
I got five today, which annoys me as i got only one right in the first five. I was SURE Shilton was the most capped goalie - he got 125 I think.
Also, I watched the 1970 World Cup, when the greatest attack world football has ever seen played for Brazil: Pele, Tostao and Jairzinho. Again, I was SURE that Tostao was called The White Pele. It made sense, as they were in the same team.
Still, just sour grapes from an old man slowly slipping down the table .

Cheers BOF.
Funny you thinking that about Shilts as I was 100% on Zoff. Got Zico though.
