I've made the decision to play the danniellasmincepies - David Fishwick Minibus Sales match individually.

Both players will be asked the same questions plus a tie-break, individually, whenever the are in the room.

Main Draw Quarter Finals can start Friday.

Ahem. Should that not be angrymonkey v miggins or have i been chucked out for fielding an inedible player

Sorry, amended:

Mr Nibbs. I've just been looking at the tables again and I have a query.

I'm sure we can all agree that there's little likelihood of me getting through to the next round, and if by some miracle I did then I could conceivably be facing the same opponent who knocked me out in Round 1. Or Fishwick could conceivably  be facing Poppydog again already. That surely shouldn't be happening yet? Shouldn't I (or my opponent) be meeting a player from the top half of the main table?

I appreciate there's no chance of me getting past any of the losing quarter-finalists, so in that respect my query is somewhat academic.

I can play Brendan at 8.30 tonight if that suits.

Good question MoMM.

To answer your question, it is statistically impossible to fix the repechage in order to avoid repeat matches.

For instance you played pumphol. in round 2, who was on the other side of the draw.

Eventually, a repeat match is possible, the system just attempts to delay for as long as possible.

Yes, I suppose that must be true. Well obviously it is true. I didn't say I'd thought it through.

Thanks for the reply.

So  do I have to play MOMM again then

I believe that one is definitely statistically impossible.

Miggins, any chance of you coming out to play tonight?

Calling Paulypaul - I'm available from after about 8.20 tonight if that's any good.  Can't do tomorrow but should be about Friday night as well after 8.20.

you around Nibbs/Nirv?

I think I'm playing TommyGun147 so I can be around tonight or tomorrow night.
The long weekend again will be tricky for me

FAO David Fishwick Minibus Sales

I've asked danniellasmincepies 6 questions for the Repechage, I'll also ask you the same set of 6 whenever you are around.

ok Poppydog, considering your long weekend we'll put you and tommygunn first if we can arrange a time.

tommygunn?

20:30 tonight is good for me SlippyBlue...... make sure you wear something nice

angry monkey - at nibbs place now if you are about

Drat. Missed the rendezvous.

Care to suggest a time convenient to yourself?

Will have a look in tonight after 8.30 if thats any good

I would prefer to play Paddy tonight due to sporadic availability after today.

^^^ swallowed a dictionary Roy ?

I'll get me pencil.

Nibbsy, will try to get on tonight or tomorrow night

Yeah,you take your time,chillax

I wish BrendanScrote well and I hope he wins the darn thing but I must go down in chit chat quizzering history as the most unluckiest loser of a tie break of all time. I cried myself to sleep that night

what happened Slippy?

Tobes, myself and Brendan ended up 2-2.
The tie break question was what was Usian Bolt's winning time in the 100 metres final in the London Olympics.

I said 9.62 and Brendan the Scrote said 9.623426

The answer was 9.63 and he done me on the fractions

Bit unlucky I thought but that wily old fox Brendan knew how to play the game better than me

Slippy,

Genuinely sorry my friend...

I wasn't tactics or some clever ploy at all (I'm not that smart) I was just messing around and fooking about.

I'm my previous tie break with Poppydog when asked the population of Brazil, my answer was something like 72,365, (and i lost that one)

Don't forget btw that we still have the joint honour of drawing a tie break and requiring a second question

GL to all...

Muntz

Can you do Tuesday night at 9.00pm, please?

Rasp

RASP

Just spoke to Muntz

he said - okay

Paulypaul give me a shout.  Will be available most nights this week.

What's happening with this? Has Mr Nibbs gone AWOL? He hasn't posted since Dec 23rd.

He's biathloning in some cold hole at the moment, MoMM. Think he's back in a couple of weeks (he went on the 28th).

I see. Well I hope he's having a good time. Is he taking part or spectating?

He's spectating, MoMM. He went last year for the first time and loved it - so he's gone again, for a longer time. Think he's in Germany - or somewhere like that.

[So it might be Canada!]

Did he go to Iceland by any chance, and is this him?
