So, where better to start than with
ROUND ONE
Round One is based on the game "I have never". All you have to do is decide which answer the following APATers would start with the words "I have never"
Q1
Up first is the updating legend that is Richard "Tightend" Prew, but which of the following would Tighty say "I have never" ?
A - Had to provide details to police after a hotel "incident" at an APAT event
B - Had to change hotels during an APAT event due to flooding
C - Trapped my hand in a McDonalds Drive Thru whilst on an APAT event
D - Locked myself outside my room at an APAT event whilst wearing just a towel
Q2
Next cotestant is Mr Consistency himself, Darren Shallis. Darren has final tabled 4,832 APAT events, but he"s not hit the mark everywhere. Which one would Darren say "I have never" ?
A - Final tabled an APAT National in Coventry
B - Final tabled an APAT National in London
C - Final tabled an APAT National in Luton
D - Final tabled an APAT National in Walsall
Q3
And finally in this round is Mr APAT himself, Des Duffy. Tricky one this, but which of the following would Des say "I have never" ?
A - Refused entry to the casino at an APAT Event due to incorrect footwear
B - Played in an APAT Event
C - Bought a round of drinks at an APAT Event
D - Dealt in an APAT Event
END OF ROUND ONE

ROUND TWO
It"s Christmas Time, and there"s no need to be afraid. That"s unless you bump into one of the APATers in Round Two"s "Guess the Secret Santa"
All you have to do is work out which APATers are wearing the festive disguises.

ROUND THREE
Round Three is all about Only Connect. Not that I have the charisma and wit of Vicky Coren, but the next three questions are based on the "missing vowels" round of her popular BBC4 quiz.
Below are three APATers with their APAT Forum nicknames. The vowels have been removed and to make it a bit more difficult, I have put the remaining letters in alphabetical order.
Confused ? Here"s an example :-
LEIGH CHIPACCRUAL WILTSHIRE
Take away the vowels, leaves
LGHCHPCCRLWLTSHR
Put it in alphabetical order
CCCGHHHLLLPRRSTW
So
CCCGHHHLLLPRRSTW = LEIGH CHIPACCRUAL WILTSHIRE
Simple hey ? Here"s three more to work out
Q7
DDLNNNWX
Q8
DMNNNNPRSTTVY
Q9
HJMMNNRRRTTVY
END OF ROUND THREE

ROUND FIVE
Round Five is my take on Family Fortunes. We asked one hundred people Tighty three questions. All you need to do is select the top only answer from the choices below.
Q13
We asked Tighty what was his favourite film of 2011. Did our survey say :-
A - Black Swan
B - Bridesmaids
C - Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes
D - Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Q14
Next, we asked Tighty who he thought would win BBC Sports Personality Of The Year. Did our survey say :-
A - Mark Cavendish
B - Darren Clarke
C - Luke Donald
D - Rory McIlroy
Q15
And finally we asked Tighty who would he pick as a guest updater to sit alongside him for an APAT weekend. Did our survey say :-
A - Sven Goran Eriksson (Ex Leicester City and England manager)
B - Stephen Fry (QI Presenter and high profile tweeter)
C - Katherine Jenkins (Welsh Goddess, and she can sing a bit)
D - Kenneth Wolstenholme (1966 World Cup Commentator)
END OF ROUND FIVE

Pretty sure that was a "gimme" for all you complainers out there.
I"m thinking one out of fifteen isn"t bad? Can"t wait to find out who "evil santa" is.

ROUND SIX
Know Your Dealers. That is all.
We"ve been lucky to have some of the best dealers working during APAT events, but can you work out at which venues the following three dealt an APAT event ?
I think the luck is that they all seem to be drop dead gorgeous!!
Random selection. For some reason the only photos we seem to have in the updaters archives are of attractive female dealers. Must stop leaving Tighty in charge of the camera. Would never happen when Des and Ian are in charge of photography. ;D

Do tell :) this sounds better than the lady using your toilet story!!
Sigh again...I"ll leave it to Tighty...but if I remember correctly you played a part and it cost me a medal presentation picture at the end! Good job the lady in question didn"t win...

Do tell :) this sounds better than the lady using your toilet story!!
The boyfriend of the Lady who finalled did not appreciate
a) Pictures being posted b) People commenting on the pictures c) One of those people being called "StockCock"
I think the word used about Mr Ward was "slimy".
and came to the casino to tell Des me. face to face.
Lady herself was fine, as far as we knew, until she got knocked out and the fella said "don"t hang around, I need to tell you what they"ve been saying about you..."
Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I was just going to comment that I think Tighty is Facebook friends with Q16.
And probably Q17
And certainly Q18
:D

Post by: Chipaccrual on December 29, 2011, 09:11:23 AM
Thanks to the nine sets of answers received. It was a tough quiz, but nearly every question was anwered correctly by at least one person (I think that is what is known as probability ;D )
Scores ranged from 10/30 to 23/30.
For those who still care, the answers were :-
1 B 2 C 3 A 4 Steve Redferm 5 Steve Bayliff 6 Grant Speirs 7 Dawn Laxie Dineen 8 Andy Pantsman Overton 9 John MintTrav Murray 10 Richard Baker 11 James Eccles 12 James Edwards 13 C - Rise Of The Planet of The Apes 14 A - Mark Cavendish 15 B - Stephen Fry 16 Aspers, Newcastle 17 Les Croupiers, Cardiff 18 G Casino, Coventry 19 Duke Attempts The Impossible 20 Poker By Numbers 21 Technologs Poker Early Learning Centre and other nonsense 22 Dan Owston 23 Tod Wood 24 APAT Scotland 25 Brian Yates 26 Phil Tompkinson 27 Andy Overton 28 Rupinder Bedi 29 Rob Swindells 30 Brian Martin
And the scorer of the 23 points was..........................
Grant Speirs
Tighty would have scored 23, but he would have defintely been the only one to score more than a point in the "Know Tighty" round, and as he self excluded himself from that round, he managed a respectable 20/27.
Well done all.
