That other blog - Richard's Brass Band or something ran a quiz the other day (note that The Curmudgeon was the first blog to run quizzes). This rather obscure quiz featured arcane musical references and was about as exciting as reading Robert's blog (another blog in this community).
It's not the tediousness of the quiz that I want to talk about though it's the attitude and behaviour of the quiz setter that beggars belief.
The old joker set a silly and incomprehensible quiz hoping that some readers would enter the competition (more on that later).

When kind and obliging readers entered the quiz they received derision and the results were published in a high handed way. This was dizzzzgusting (see what I did there?).
To cap it off there was no mention of a prize for a winner and there were no certificates presented to the participants. A poor show really.
Now while I'm not one to hanker after badges and certificates - you know me ...
... I do think that some sort of acknowledgement for the effort made would have been appropriate.

You don't win a quiz with a score of 2/7, and certainly not for getting a score of 0/7.
Yes but Robert and I identify with millennials - not old codgers like you - and we want acknowledgement for attending and putting in effort.
Okay, I'll try and think of something. Apologies.
Oh! OK.
Sounds like Robert got his prize for scoring 2/7.
Robert will get his reward in Heaven.
That or a bloody big surprise.
I’m waiting.
And Peter's prize is that a non existent God loves him enough to send him to Hell.
Buonafortuna
Yes funny - thanks for that but where's my certificate?
All you smarty pants guys have degrees hanging on the walls of your studies. What have I got? Well, admittedly not even a study now that The Old Girl has appropriated it for her office but ... sheesh!
The new quiz is ready!
