Ah, yes failing to fully read the original quiz post makes it even harder!

…I learnt this on your identify the product in the picture round 🤣

I read that the clue was in French, but I didn’t click that the answer was going to be. 🙂 What can I say? _Je suis stupide._ 🤷‍♂️

I’m 100% going to need a full explanation for number 10 when we get the answer because I can already predict I’m still not going to get it 😂

1. Tea for two

5. Too funny for words
6. Mind over matter
7. Once upon a time

10. Literal… un sous p á cent sous ci? = J grand a petit! _(1 under P á 100 under ci? = large J small a)_  
To sound like… un souper á Sanssouci? = J’ai grand appetit!  
In English… A dinner at the Palace of Sanssouci? = I have a big appetite!

Seriously well done everyone who had a go and sorry about number 10! @SexInTheCity you definitely get your point for scrambled eggs even if you think you don’t deserve it, @Cassii certainly a half point, maybe full for Repeat oneself over time which does basically work I think 👍🏻. @Ian_Chimp is _Victorian Book of Rebus_ a real thing? …I googled it, couldnt find it though there are lots of books of Rebus puzzles. I might have to get one for the coffee table or bathroom 🤣

Obviously the victor of this quiz is @VanillaWithSprinkles though for amazingly getting number 10! 🎉🎉🎉

Ha. Sorry, no. 🙂 It was a comment on the archaic language of, ‘Too wise you are…’ It sounded very Gollum. 🙂

Much prefer a question based one. I have a couple of music questions that I may add to a general knowledge quiz.

I especially liked the treasure hunting element from before.

I’ve had a couple of ideas that would take a while to prep so if you wanted to do them I’d be more than happy: match the sex toy to the review, name that sex toy from the silhouette.

I’ll call it Photo Hunt this time. 🙂👍 (more on the Scavanger Hunt idea below…)

I love the picture hunt game, but if I make them I can’t play them. 🙂 I know other people would love them too, but you’ve got to tailor the rounds to the audience and so I completely understand @WillC. I honestly wouldn’t mind if people didn’t want another, I’m not precious. 🙂 But if enough of you do like them I’m happy to do them. 👍 (I’m thinking of popping it up on a Friday and letting it ride for the weekend? Not everyone has a weekend, but…?🤷‍♂️)

I’ve been playing in all the old threads now the Search is so good, and I did find a few fun things… 🙂

Poetry Round 📜🎑

Can you identify these poets from their words?  
(extra points if you can name the poem 👍)

1. Sexual intercourse began  
In nineteen sixty-three  
(which was rather late for me) -  
Between the end of the “Chatterley” ban  
And the Beatles’ first LP.

2. The fucking scene is fucking sad  
The fucking news is fucking bad  
The fucking weed is fucking turf  
The fucking speed is fucking surf  
The fucking folks are fucking daft  
Don’t make me fucking laugh

3. The free bird thinks of another breeze  
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees  
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn  
and he names the sky his own

4. Nobody heard him, the dead man,  
But still he lay moaning:  
I was much further out than you thought

5. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,  
And sorry I could not travel both  
And be one traveler, long I stood  
And looked down one as far as I could  
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

6. If you can keep your head when all about you  
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,  
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,  
But make allowance for their doubting too; 

7. Five million bags were six feet long  
Five million bags were five foot five  
Five million were stamped with Mickey Mouse  
And they came in a smaller size.

8. No man is a man all through.  
I’ve seen you. Shivering. Fleeting weakness. Cold rain scuffing its feet on the beaches.

9. You know this world is complicated, imperfect and oppressed  
And it’s not hard to feel timid, apprehensive and depressed.  
It seems that all around us tides of questions ebb and flow  
And people want solutions but they don’t know where to go.

10. They went to sea in a Sieve, they did,  
In a Sieve they went to sea:  
In spite of all their friends could say,  
On a winter’s morn, on a stormy day,  
In a Sieve they went to sea!

Definitely not my round I’m afraid AND no John Betjeman which I find very sad as he is my go to when asked to recite something 🤣. I knew 3 before looking at your possible answers… couple of then educated guesses based on the poet’s style and other totally random stabs in the dark!
