Random request but the hive mind of this place can give surprising results....

Team can obviously no longer get together once a week so they’re looking for some quiz or something which can be sent out and done over the week, scouts honour there will be no cheating etc. Something simple like those “guess the movie from emoji” things. Any ideas?

The Mrs and I are quite enjoying Jimmy Carr's little quiz of the lockdown on Youtube at 6 every evening and he puts up the answers at 8. They only go for 5 min and he's compiled each week in a 40min long bit too.

A bunch of our friends do a 8pm whatsapp quiz which is quite fun if you are good at music questions.... we are not

Some people surfing.

[Jobbo]

(1) You didn’t post that link when you were talking about people going to Cornwall.
(2) It doesn’t say people are going to Cornwall to surf.
(3) Surfing is exercise, which is expressly encouraged.

Broccers, apply some sort of logical process to your thinking.

[Broccers]

Some people surfing.

Some people should not be surfing.

Lots of news articles to back up what I was saying. Anyhoo lets concentrate on how long do we think this will go on for? People spreading it won't help reduce that time.

[Jobbo]

Don’t ever base your arguments on articles from the Daily Mail

[ZedLeg]

I’m confused, wasn’t broccers saying this is all a fuss about nothing a few pages ago?

[Broccers]

(3) Surfing is exercise, which is expressly encouraged.

Incorrect.

[Rich B]

Have you got an unrelated local news link and anecdotal story to prove this Broccers?

No

I'm suspecting the tabloid bullshit bingo words for this week are "flocked" and "flouted"

We’re still doing scout meetings with the kids over zoom, last week we did a quiz over it- decide how your answer sheets should be formatted so everyone writes them out the same- you can even make it into a PowerPoint and screen share it across everyone- as soon as the final question is asked get them to send a photo of their answers to a WhatsApp group, check answers and issue a winner etc

Just been and collected mrs H after 5 nights in hospital. The difference between when she went in and how she is today is remarkable.

What a relief for you and your family. Good to hear she's on the mend.

Incorrect.

Sitting on your arse trolling the internet is not exercise. Surfing, being a physical pastime, is exercise.

[Ascender]

Its all getting very political now isn't it?

You have to wonder how much of the fascination on the plan for existing lockdown is down to concerns about the economy and how much of it is just point-scoring.

[Foz]

Both, however the effect on the economy is catastrophic!

[NotoriousREV]

The government is going to have to make some very difficult decisions in the next few weeks and months. There will come a crossover point where the economic impact is worse than the virus but it’ll be a tough choice to make and get right.
