Drunk on last week’s triumph @lucythorpe.bsky.social and I made a more modest 19. No flags on our lamppost

It's Friday, so it must be time for the newsquiz. Trainee @tomlayton263 scored 20. Can you do better? sandsmediaservices.blogspot.com/2026/08/trai... Ss usual there are 25 questions about the week. Give it a go and let me know your score.

A pretty respectable 23 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me ably assisted by the Green Man festival posse; Lou, Joe, Tim, Kay, David & Dawn

A slightly generous 17.5 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me. The chief sub might want to use the blue pencil on answers 7 & 18. Perhaps the quiz compiler has overdone it on the Picpoul.

A respectable 20 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me. Recovering from the lack of an invite from Mr and Mrs H.

Not quite the high of last weekend but still happy with 21 for me and @lucythorpe.bsky.social preparing to sell shares in our quiz duo to Gianni Infantino.

It must be an easy week as @lucythorpe.bsky.social and I scored an impressive 23, is this part of the ‘Burnham Bounce’ ?

Not much wrong with our DNA for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me with a score of 20 assisted by daughter Meg.

A new Labour leader, World Cup drama and much more added to a busy news week. Have you been keeping up? Why not test yourself with the newsquiz. sandsmediaservices.blogspot.com/2026/07/time...

Not too bad 18.5 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me, distracted by events in Mexico City and Miami.

A very respectable 22 for myself and top quizzer David Kohn. Sealing our score in Maidenhead rather than top of Empire State

Another busy week with the Prime Minister resigning, the hottest June on record and, of course, the World Cup. Have you been keeping up? Why not test yourself with this week's newsquiz. sandsmediaservices.blogspot.com/2026/06/have... As usual there are 25 questions about the week.

A pretty impressive 21 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me ably assisted by our friends Ben & Bella enjoying the Sussex sunshine

Ashamed by a piss poor score of 14 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social I’ve already forgotten the name of the new health secretary

An underwhelming 16 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me. A poor turnout and definitely no overall control.

Back to our normal 19 after last week’s blip. Even knew the answer to the million pound question.

A pretty woeful 14 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me. A lot of near misses, but a general ennui with events may be to blame.

Not unhappy with 19 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me We hope that should be enough to pass the vetting process.

Lewes base, the Eagle has landed. Slightly distracted by domestic events @lucythorpe.bsky.social and I managed to score 18.5.

Despite the return of my quizzing partner @lucythorpe.bsky.social it’s another 17. Annoyed to have forgotten Arnie ‘oh my back’ S.

Solo quizzing this morning so not too disappointed with 17 despite epic fail on new Archbishop and dead Karate actor. I’m getting old.

Not quite an epic fail, but 18 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me. No questions about reporters’ front doors…?

Pretty happy with 22 points for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me. We’d revised for a question about AMW and the C U next Tuesday nickname.

A big improvement for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me with 20 correct answers. I made a mental note of Tumbler Ridge and it didn’t crop up.

Refreshing lack of questions about the orange arsehole. May account for an improved score of 19 for @lucythorpe.bsky.social and me.
