Once again I apologize to the few people reading me here: NHL hockey, One Direction, politics and quiz shows don't make this a coherent blog

[glorafin @glorafin]

I did my weekly quizzy monday post on the other place. There is a refreshing absence of abuse on the #universitychallenge tag. But it’s still sparsely populated.

[glorafin @glorafin]

I made the leap. You can expect this twitter profile to disappear pretty soon. It was good on here for a while. https://t.co/slpEzLZAq2

@gomanga From my limited sample of completed readings, Thousand Autumns… i still think Scum Villain ‘s translation should be thoroughly reworked though.

[All Things Quiz @AllThingsQuiz]

This isn't too easy, these teams are just very very good #onlyconnect

[glorafin @glorafin]

@anarrestom Is it not still invite only ?

[glorafin @glorafin]

Since I no longer have the Twitter app installed, I’m afraid this is mostly the end of my quizzy Monday commenting. I’ll miss some of you but I can no longer condone this place. Besides. all the negativity was doing my head in. #universitychallenge #onlyconnect.

For reasons best left unsaid, gege will be my word of the summer.

Who the f*** is Keith Sweat?

@PicturesFoIder To be fair, it’ not a « straight » line. It has the curvature of the Earth.

[glorafin @glorafin]

Impressive performance by Belfast though…. Also, I like teams with strong accents. It helps me to learn about differentiating them. I still routinely confuse Geordie with Scouse and Scottish with Northern Irish. Tonight’s game will help with that. :)

[glorafin @glorafin]

I don’t think I ever got 32 correct answers in #universitychallenge before. It is therefore most certainly dumbing down….. good to have it back though.

[glorafin @glorafin]

Although it seems both are now acceptable? That doesn’t sound right.

[glorafin @glorafin]

Quizzy Mondays are back but Twitter is increasingly clearly not the right place to squee about clever people. Is there another forum or social media platform where quiz enthusiasts gather to lavish praise on contestants?

[glorafin @glorafin]

I obviously meant lavish contestants with praise? #foreigneridiocy

[glorafin @glorafin]

I must say I was not expecting a fourth series of Vienna Blood to air next week.

[glorafin @glorafin]

Ouch.

[Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers]

The #Oilers have named Stan Bowman General Manager & Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations.

@isSHINeeback For now it’s hardly a « world tour ».

I am delighted to tell you that, at long last, I’m consistently able to recognize each individual SHINee members.

[Shak | ATMOS @5hineeingstars]

What a great time to be a RDD enthusiast. SHINee is finally acknowledging her. 🫡

[glorafin @glorafin]

After the plot twist at the end of episode 2, I was ready to forget all about Lost Boys And Fairies but I must say the last episode packs quite a punch, emotion wise.
