Time's up, lads, and our final player is Oscar.
As is to be expected for the final week of one of my quizzes, more than half of you scored full marks this week, which means the table (before we add those bonus points) looks like this:
1. Macc 23
2. Bradninch 20
3. BBLW 19
4. Archie 16
5. Epworth 12
6. Hermann 9
7. Gazz 8
8. Ceefer 2
So, let's have a look at the link and announce our winner, shall we?....

As most of you realised, the link between our five players - MIKEl Arteta, CHARLIE Adam, VICTOR Moses, PAPPA Bouba Diop and OSCAR - is that their first names all contain letters of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet.
And, as usual, there was a big clue in the opening post of the quiz:
"As ever, there is a link between our five players and, if you’re the first to guess it then, BRAVO, – you score ten bonus points."
This will come as no surprise, but the first to guess the link was Macc, who not only got it on day 1, but within about an hour of the opening post, so it goes without saying he is our deserving winner! Here's the final table:
1. Macc 33
2. Bradninch 29
3. BBLW 27
4. Archie 22
5. Epworth 19
6. Hermann 14
7. Gazz 8
8. Ceefer 2
Congrats to Maccy, and thanks to everyone for playing.
The quiz will return soon.
Sandy.

Well played, Maccy. Award yourself a double Whiskey but only when you've parked the Sierra.
Good work too from Lennie and Bradders, or is that Romeo and Juliet?
Thanks for another belter, Sandy.

Brilliant, inspired quizzing Maccy; thoroughly deserved win. At least Lennie and I weren't too far adrift! Thanks again to Sandy - another challenging, enjoyable puzzle.

Bravo, Maccy! I can only Echo the congratulations. Thanks to Sandy for another top quiz. If there's any justice in the world (great song by Lima), I'll win one of these by November.

Cheers, guys - I'm dancing around Macc Towers in celebration, although not sure if it's the Foxtrot or the Tango!  Thanks, as ever, to Sandy for keeping our grey matter going. |
