Right time is up, no more entires will be accepted.

[witteringon]

As has been the case in previous quizzes, some like-minded thinking in the facetious answers!

[Mallard126]

Stewards' enquiry on 12. I put 12 because there are 11 herbs and spices mixed with flour to make 12 ingredients in total.

[slopes]

The adjuicators have done their sterling usual work and we have a clear winner with an astonishing 50% correct

So, without further ado, the commitee is happy to declare that our newest quizzer, Mallard126 this weeks winner with 10 correct answers



Honourable mentions go to
Pequod with a very creditable 8 correct answers
Team Bobbers, Team OSH and our roving....where did he go??....1000 Miglia with an equally creditable 7 correct answers

Well done all and prizes to be decided once i can be bothered i've had a rummage around my box of tricks

[Mallard126]

Thanks as ever for organising, Mr. Slopes.

FTFY!

I worked in Sheffield for a year. It had to one of them.

The story went that Sheffield Wednesday was formed by lads from a foundry that cleaned the furnace on Wednesdays and Sundays. The steelworkers therefore, in addition to Sunday, had half day off on Wednesdays.

[DickyC]

They didn't clean the furnace. They had half day off when it was shut down for cleaning.

[slopes]

Ahem....Ordaaahhh!!!!

I am more than happy to show my working out for the questions and answers, i can't help it if people don't agree with what the interweb says innit.
S'there and no more arguments

As for the prize, to help young Mallard126 with his little duckling, we are sending plans for an automatic baby rocking machine that we stole off someone else had lying around in the cludgie storage.
The budget doesn't stretch to supplying parts though

[pequod]

Many congratufabulations to Mallard126 for a well deserved 1st place, and no mistake.

I'm delighted to join you on the podium and await the Champers to spray around....

[Bobberoo]

Congratumalations Mallard126!!!

Wednesday play at Hillsborough but i wanted to avoid that particular chestnut.

[DickyC]

Smashing. Well done Snowy.

/still useless

I was on the right lines with the kill shot though. I said three miles. It was just over two.

[1000 Miglia]

I was the only contestant to get Edge of Darkness correct.....

I guessed it and then looked it up ,which technically isn't cheating.....

I Googled Edge of Darkness to confirm .

It was a fab thriller ,because Joanne Whalley .

As it 'append, Mrs. M came home with a bottle of champers to celebrate my promotion so I'll shake it up good and let the spraying commence. Hope I don't get any in the baby rocking machine, a shirt circuit could lead to it getting stuck on at full chat.
