I know mate. Only kidding. Betting-wise - blast down to your nearest horse/dog meeting maybe? Otherwise drive to the nearest bit of countryside, walk around for a bit then have a slap-up meal.

The questions come easy to me Drag and andy, its just time to do them when at work as no excel on home computer

This GK ones will be more difficult but will do them on the 16 subjects

6 of the subjects can be naturally paired off

History/Politics
Geog/People & Places
Art/Literature
Classical Music/Pop Music
Science/Natural world
Film & Cinema/TV
-----------------------------
4 below more standalone
sport
Pot Luck
religion & Mythology
Food & Drink

I would welcome selection of GK ones for matches not to include any on my home or my opponents

It could be quite easily done by colour coding the questions and not including any with your colours

It would alwasy leave a lot of choice for GK

Just an idea but with all my ideas, it will probably pass on by

thing is, like we got told they must be new questions never asked before, not from a quiz book, they have to be medium and 1 hard..
easy questions to me are normally hard. so if i make them to my level of hard they'll be rejected for being too easy.. but then if i try to make something hard and i over do it, i could get rejected for it being too hard.. based on my knowledge i'd have to write questions i know nothing about.. so it'd have to just be a random thing.. thats where the problem comes..

for example if i were to find a battle and name the year, if i find a battle i know then the history boffins are going to gobble the question up, so i'd need to find a battle i don't know about, but then what if its a battle that is so obscure that no1 knows about it.
and without being able to use quiz books etc how am i even going to find a battle i've never heard about
Report Joe Jordan November 27, 2009 11:36 AM GMT
you google andy
the secret is putting what you want into google
eg:- WW2 Battles ...WW1 Battles...Scottish Battles ...etc
think of something (anything) ..say Who invented the Gyroscope
(just thought of that that instant)..
in it goes in google
answer pops up

Jean Foucault

as a multi you add 5 names
Louis Vicennes
Fredrick Messiere
Claude Porrel
Jacques Mille-Bastoon
Pierre le Fremere

Now Ive just sat here and made those up in my head
and I have a multi ..time (under 2 mins)...
Report Joe Jordan November 27, 2009 11:45 AM GMT
sieges
bombing raids
ship battles

just type them in google #
and you have tons of questions pop out at you ..
it really is not hard ...
we are doing 72 batches of 6 plus spares for the European Champions just between Lozzy + I ...that is 500 questions
All need to be Top Class coz of the Comp .....we had about 3 weeks to do them in ....90 questions a week each .... on top of our 48 for Leagues ..
So we do know what its about ..
last year I ran 2 Leagues (Champ + Cola ) sourcing ALL the questions myself alone for the first 12 to 15 matches each or so of the season ....others then came on board and did several hundred each during the Season ...so asking for less than a hundred each to share the load is not anywhere near "exceptional "...many have done them already ..
and ONE has done them and will eventually type them up ... won't you Drag :-)
