Can I quote you on that? Quiz instructions
Here is another quiz which is based on forumites' memories of fellow forumites' comments on the forum. The aim of the game is to identify which member of our illustrious countdown forum said the following 25 comments. This is a change from my usual brain-bending quizzes which involve intellect whereas this one involves memory of "famous" or "infamous" quotes .
Please set your answers out in the usual list format stating the name of the person who said each comment. A forumite's name may appear more than once so be wary. See the example below;
1. Jason Cullen
2. Dinos
3. Ginger Jono
et cetera.
Some comments selected by me for this quiz are a bit random and may not make sense when you don't know the context and the reason for the quote ! But please do not be offended if a quote you said appears which you do not like! Its all a bit of fun at the end of the day !
This is an individuals quiz so please do not openly discuss or confer who said which comment. Also, it is essential that no-one claims that they said the comment e.g.
"UP THE WHITES" - this quote was said by me therefore if I was participating, I could not tell everyone openly that quote number 2 was said by me.
I hope you enjoy this new quiz and please do not use any forum cheat methods (I'm not aware of any but you may find a way!) because it spoils it for everyone else and it makes the quiz pointless .
Good luck and happy thinking !
This quiz will be posted below tomorrow. Apologies for the delay

Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz
I guess you don't have much of a suspicious mind. I've disabled the Search facility for the duration of the quiz. Hope this helps.jasoncullen wrote: I hope you enjoy this new quiz and please do not use any forum cheat methods (I'm not aware of any but you may find a way!) because it spoils it for everyone else and it makes the quiz pointless .
EDIT: Disabling search breaks loads of other stuff, so I've re-enabled it. I guess you'll just have to hope that people don't cheat.

This sounds like it should be fun

Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz
No problem Charlie . Thanks for trying anyhow. I guess I can trust everyone not to cheat because its just a bit of fun and forumites are not competing for a prize or anything. Therefore, cheating by using the search engine is futileCharlie Reams wrote:I guess you don't have much of a suspicious mind. I've disabled the Search facility for the duration of the quiz.

Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz
Not to worry. I'd prefer to have a go at this one anyway seen as I'm quite good at remembering who says what. I'll just have to create an even better and outlandish quiz format in my quest for one-upmanship

Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz
It should now be impossible to cheat by searching, but points will be given for particularly creative ways of cheating.

Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz
Thanks Charlie . I'm glad this quiz will be one which forumites cannot cheat on knowing full well that they have earned their scores without the temptation of using secondary resources to unveil the answers .Charlie Reams wrote:It should now be impossible to cheat by searching, but points will be given for particularly creative ways of cheating.

Seems a bit excessive to ban searching for one quiz in the off-topic forum. People might still want to search for other things! Crazy!Charlie Reams wrote:It should now be impossible to cheat by searching, but points will be given for particularly creative ways of cheating.

Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz
I had to choose between a broken quiz and a broken search facility. Given that search is not much used and the effort that Jason has put into this fun-sounding quiz, I opted for the latter. Normal service will be resumed once the quiz ends.Gevin-Gavin wrote:Seems a bit excessive to ban searching for one quiz in the off-topic forum. People might still want to search for other things!

Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz
I'm planning to end the quiz at the start of next week (probably Tuesday) so forumites who want a crack at this quiz must ask promptly . My personal apologies to anyone whom I have caused disruption to due to my latest quiz but disabling the search facility will make the quiz more interesting and cheat-free I hope you all enjoy this unique quiz format .Charlie Reams wrote: Normal service will be resumed once the quiz ends.

Oh crap! Sorry Corby but that was definitely not one of my deliberate spoilers .Corby wrote:You fucking numpty, I haven't had a chance to watch yesterday's semi-final yetjasoncullen wrote:*The quiz will be posted shortly after today's series final between **** and ****.*
Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz
That's still not a particularly effective spoiler for those who haven't seen EITHER semi-final. Bellendjasoncullen wrote:Charlie Reams wrote:

Edit: that was directed at Jason not Charlie in case anyone's in any doubt, the quoting got mucked up somewhere.

Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz instructions
Just noticed that this topic started in June 2008! Also, would a Google search like sandwich site:c4countdown.co.uk/ still work anyway?
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

Re: Can I quote you on that? Quiz instructions
Just did that dumpling-like thing of reading the whole thread as if it had just been put up.
Was getting all excited, even tried out the search box to see if it had been disabled. D'oh!
