    Thank you Slinky and Jarbax............I hope my choice of new subject will suit everyone. Very good turn-out for day one...............Slinky did you ever suspect that it would prove so popular. If everyone that has posted today posts everyday during the month I think we can look forward to a brilliant game and lots of fun and ups and downs as we go. Anyone opening a book on who is going to win.......shouldn't want to be the one to work out the odds! It's about as certain as the Grand National!

    I'm with you on the speed thing Moyra, especially if i'm not wearing my contact lenses!! Vegman - how on earth do you do it in 55 seconds? Very well done! (and the other tenners!)

    A first for me - two questions the same:

    3. What is the country of origin of the dachshund?

    7. Where did the Dachshund originate?

    Luckily i got them both right! :D

    (Hadn't even heard of three of the dogs in the one I got wrong!) :)

    Like you Jarbax, my glasses are two years out of date and I should have gone to the opticians last year and didn't - they have just written to me again. I do have to go because my mother is blind from Glaucoma and although I have been borderline for years it has fortunately never developed further so I really ought to go just to keep a check on it. My biggest handicap on speed is this hand and wrist at the moment but then I am not resting it as I should. I am getting nagged at left right and centre from all directions here about that but I can take it. :):D:D:D
