Division 4 status retained. I'm treating that as a triumph.

Outstanding and inventive quizzing MrNibbs. Thank you.
A few rusty schoolboy errors (didn't everyone?) and bewildering at times for me, but pleased with the first go. Well done all the table-toppers and double-figure scorers. |
|
By:
Having made so many errors, to still be in Div 2 is a right result.
An excellent concept and league, nibbs. It's good to see everyone's taking part. |

It could be tough to get out of Div 5 I reckon it's going to be pretty easy. But maybe not in the direction you had in mind! |
|
By:
I'll be dining out this weekend on my Marc Chagall answer.
 The less said about my overall the effort, the better. I went off the rails after corking up Q18. |

lol & I would have won div 4 Sorry Pumpy, I don't like to be pedantic, but you wouldn't. I scored 12 points but Mr Nibbs has yet to make the correction. |

Nirvana,
What happened at the end!? You need to work out some sort of stamina routine? |
|
By:
Yes, hit some sticky ground and failed to stay. Need to pace myself better.
