Er wheres my 2 points gone
Somewhere in a faraway kingdom, a crooked castle clings stubbornly to the side of a jagged mountain. The prevailing weather conditions suggest a storm that has a serious grudge against the locality. Deep within the bowels of the Gothic safehold, a bolt of electricity crackles between two metal balls and an over-large chemistry set burbles and foams, as if it has seen one of these films before. Hunched over a bench, looming across ripped up copies of Empire magazine, a book of '101 Quiz Question For Discerning Swingers' and smoking laptop, we find a wild, unkempt madman, laughing like he has seen the end of the world.
"Tom Cruise!" He cries,
"They'll think it's Tom Cruise films!! They said it couldn't be done! They said I was mad! MWUHAHAHAHAHA! They won't suspect the third round!!! Victory shall be mine!"
Naturally, we hear a menacing crack of thunder in the background. Frankly, at this stage, it would be weird if there wasn't one.
To be fair, it worked a peach
An absolutely brilliant showing in the quiz tonight, thank you all so much for joining inIt gets funnier every week
Between the usual chatroom-having-a-paddy moments, the battery failures and the device SNAFUs, a packed room proved that they were afraid of nothing, braving the questions about magnolia and mementos, Bagginses and Bogardes like they were answering the question about the swallow, in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, itself. @AutumnH arrived late and left early, like the cool kid at a party, @Pearls had to dash off and @thecuteguy ran out of battery at the final hurdle. However, we still saw good scores from all three, all valuable in the league
A disappointing show from @Mr_and_Mrs_Marmite tonightWas Mrs. Marms distracting you? @Never_say_Never and the reigning champs, @Nigel&Julie had respectable joint placing, narrowly beating @Stew . @Miss-Sexy-Legs applied her super-crime-fighting powers and gained a close third. @The_Usual_Horny_Couple came achingly close and would have won it..... if it hadn't been for the bonus question The bonus was eventually answered, with seconds to go, by the eventual winner, @EyesOpening
Which all makes the table look like this:

Don't think I've forgotten about you @cinnamon_gigglesLady Gaga indeed! Go listen to both those Bowie albums as penance

You're most welcome. Our pleasure..So blooming funny what a pair the doyens of the quiz world our @meandlis are, move over Paxman.
However you've done it again I can hear the scream all the way from Oz, "where's my two Fucking points !!!" She will wreak vengeance there will be tears before bedtime .
Great night thanks once again to @meandlis and @Admin for facilitating an epic quiz, sneaky buggers that you are !
Its those eggsYou're most welcome. Our pleasure..
Am going to be looking into the chat over the coming weeks.
Most likely..Its those eggs
Yes, she was awesome tonight, wasn't she? Like some sort of quiz ninja!
Just a little, epicness from the TigerYes, she was awesome tonight, wasn't she? Like some sort of quiz ninja!
What a superb post!!SCENE I. A chatroom near Athens.
Angered by his queen's refusal to give him the changeling, Oberon, King of the Faeries, calls forth to his familiar.
"My gentle Puck, come hither. Thou rememberest since once I sat upon a promontory?"
Er, I keep telling you, my name's 'meandlis'. Promontory? You mean Southend pier? When we were on that stag night?
"And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath?"
Hmmm, you'd been on the absinthe - that was a drunk woman on a KwikSave trolley. She was singing 'Uptown Funk'. Badly.
"Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower,"
You peed on the ornamental flower beds, yes.
"Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew'd thee once"
Ewww, but it'll be all covered in p...
"The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid, will make or man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees."
Oh, and that doesn't sound dodgy at all. You're a nutjob.
"And with the juice of this I'll streak her eyes, and make her full of hateful fantasies."
See? That's why you're not allowed to play with the other faeries. Sod off, do your own weird dirty work.
"Erm, what if I tell you of a really mean trick you can play on the quiz-goers? They'll think the whole Tom Cruise thing (oh wait, I get it now.. a 'cruise' missile is a weapon, too) was a walk in the park. They won't get this one"
Fear not, my lord, your servant shall do so.
Exeunt
Proving that Elizabethan bards haven't got the monopoly on plot twists, The ANSSCRQ continues to throw up some surprising results. Another free-scoring week saw a gnat's cock trying to get a rizla between the players. Everyone was on top form; @Mr_and_Mrs_Marmite were answering questions about Essex almost before they were asked, @Pearls made some brave guesses (and some less courageous passes), @cinnamon_giggles questioned the existence of god through the medium of useless trivia and comedy gold, @The_Usual_Horny_Couple @EyesOpening @Miss-Sexy-Legs @Never_say_Never @Mr_and_Mrs_Marmite @Nigel&Julie and @Stew made up the main peloton, score-wise, which left us with a brand new champion this week, @Tigerinthesunshine (though we do wonder how much sparklier she can get)
All of which has had an interesting effect on the middle of the table, with our winner leaping into contention, while the top of the league remains balanced on a knife edge, with @Stew still managing to stay a whisker ahead of @Nigel&Julie (well. let's face it, Julie. She's been doing well without Nigel to distract her)

"Thou cans't avail of this pixey dust to give the Tiger her sprinkles"
That's just gravel. Did you eat the flower, again? King of the Faeries, my arse!
The CAMRA troops would have hunted me down if I'd tried to call the Samuel Smith brewery 'Sam Smith'I wonder how many people had typed beer, I know I had
Oh my word**A sitar strums**
The master tells us that love must conquer hate, that the oneness of the universe is at peace with the gentle stroke of the butterfly. Are you OK there?
Yeah, I'm OK. Just getting a bit fidgety, sitting cross-legged like this.
OK, good. The centre of being is in the heart and the head. Like the yin and the yang, the cake and the biscuit, there is duality in all things.
That must get confusing.
No, it's easy... well, no, not easy, it's complex but simple in its purity, sublime in its brilliance, like the sun kissing the rose petal or the deer drinking from a stream.
So... what you're saying is, I should make it easier this week?
Yes, in the name of all that is holy! Homophones for letters of the alphabet?? Are you mental? That's not a bonus question, that's psychological torture!
OK, OK, calm down. You're getting a bit excited, for a guru
I am perfectly calm, thank you. Ohmmmm. *ting* You must bestow a peace upon the ANSSCRQ, spread love amongst the chatroom, buy a round in The Cockwell Inn (oh, I've just got that! It's a bit rude, you know). You must make the quiz a bit easier, this week.
Hmmm alright. Can I take this loincloth off now?
No, I haven't finished my, ummm...... sacred touching, yes, sacred touching, that's it. Pass me that feather duster.
So taking advice from his guru, The Great Anointed Custard Frog, we find our quizmaster breathing in joss-stick infused air and centring his chakras, while listening to Donovan and compiling his sweetest, most lovely quiz yet. There would be badgers and owls, shapes and numbers, Sid Waddell and Goldie Hawn.
Benefiting from the new-found path of the QM this week, patrons of The Cockwell Inn quizzed up a storm. Mr @MinxyAndTiger made a welcome return, his female namesake @Tigress typed fast enough to complete a quiz and still get ready for a date, @Never_say_Never braved her way through a banging headache, @Biofilm made a solid debut, @EyesOpening flashed his knowledge of dachshunds while @Miss-Sexy-Legs did it all while dealing with a sprocket! That left the gorgeous half of @Nigel&Julie and @Stew battling it out for the top spot, won only by Stew's lightning fingers on the bonus question.
All of which affects the league table thus;

So, guru, the universe commands that I make the quiz easy every week?:hmm:
Does it shite. It just wants you to lull them into a false sense of security. And whatever you do, don't tell them in one of those ridiculous sub-Python posts you do every week. Here endeth the lesson. Ohhmmmmm. *ting*
Thats alright i had three, and they stole them and cast me out into never never land..Hmmm, how am I going to manage to scrounge 55 points to take the lead?
3 i had 3 im telling you!! Its a conspiracy!!3 !! Before you went roo hunting it was 2 you adding interest!!!
