Thank you Cleopas. Your twisted mind and awful puns have made for a fun evening.

I now need a new map of Edinburgh this ones now a wee bit torn.

Would have been quicker off the mark but got a phone call, most inconsiderate , cant people tellme about their platlet counts and hospital appointments when I'm not doing a quiz.!

Edinburgh Place-names Quiz #9 ... the Answers

1. â€œFat Tummyâ€

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:06

Good luck to you Cleopas, I don't fancy the job of working out who got what when

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:28

Well there you go ...

Izzie just pipped Arachnid by 1 point ... she can tell her hubby she's NOT a thickie!

Some answers came in at the same time, but I took the first person to give it ... sorry ... but them's the rules.

Here's how the overall scores look in the league table ...

1st division
Arachnid..........56
Bob.................50
Teddygirl.........38
Soup Dragon....38
Izzie................36
Foxy................23
Gilo.................22

2nd Division
Kipling .............18
Black Mamba....12
Dadaist.............11
Rapunzell..........11
Cleopas.............10

3rd division
Jackson Priest .......9
Marya....................9
Novastar................7
Ali.........................7
Poppy....................5
Ifstar.....................4
Denise...................3
MoM .....................3
Impossiblevoices....2
Gedge...................1
CatzVP..................1
Skeely...................1
Plug.......................1
Bellybabe...............1

And there we have the upset ... Arachnid ovetakes Bob for the top spot ... TeddyGirl and Soupdragon tie for third place and Izzie jumps from the 2nd Division into the 1st.

If admin will please update the Stats Table, that would be great. I'll do one more quiz between Christmas and New Year to finish the Season of 10 games. Be great to get more of you involved. And Bob will be out for revenge on Arachnid. I predict a bloodbath!!!

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:37

Hey Black Mamba, what you on?

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:37

Ah, you've noticed

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:40

yep sorry. I'm just in from my youth club stint. (no fair)

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:40

Blimey, all that effort for only nine correct answers

My excuse is that I don't come from Edinburgh so don't know most of these places

( I have lived here, Portobello, for thirty one years mind you so pretty lame excuse

)

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:41

Maybe next time Blackie!!!

Maybe a Saturday next time. We'll see what people favour most. I'm okay with majority rule! If I'm at home!

Thanks for taking part though. I enjoy it too!

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:54

Thanks for all your hard work on the quiz front Cleopas. I look forward to each one.

rapunzell · Post by **rapunzell** » 09 Dec 2006, 00:16

I wish I hadn't missed this one - it looked very do-able!

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 09 Dec 2006, 00:49

Sorry Rapunzell. I'll see about doing another one as easy, so you're all grabbing points galore. It'll probably be to start off Season Two.

rapunzell · Post by **rapunzell** » 09 Dec 2006, 16:31

Weyhey! We'll need something gentle while recovering from the beachy Hogmany party

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 09 Dec 2006, 17:26

I'm NOT doing it THAT soon!

Nope, let's get new year well outta the way and start around Feb ... depending on how long you all like your holiday to last!

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 09 Dec 2006, 17:29

February!.....that's ages away

January can be a very gloomy month, we'll need some entertainment then

especially as most of us will be too skint to go out much
