    Alfie, your new to the quiz so probably don't know that the time you take is a factor in the scoring.

    So you need to try and draw a line between speed and thinking time :thumb: :) :). We all struggle with this :eek: :D

    Good grief - I did it! :eek: Totally unexpected!!!

    Quite enjoyed it, as seemed to actually know some of the answers!!

    Time not great - blame it on the fact that

    1. I stopped to copy question 9, which I found quite amusing, and

    2. I haven't got my lenses in, and thought I'd hit the 'submit answers' button, but took me few moments to realise I hadn't! :D Excuses, excuses!

    Question 9:

    9. What is the proper name (i.e. non-slang dictionary term) for a fart?</B>
    [SIZE=+2][SIZE=+1]
    • flatus
    [/SIZE]
    • [SIZE=+2]rectapuff[/SIZE]
      [SIZE=+2]gastralgia[/SIZE]
      [SIZE=+2]bacterionebulus[/SIZE]
    Resisted the urge to go with answer 2!!! :D[/SIZE]

    We're hoping to go away camping tomorrow, possibly for up to a fortnight, so really I should be packing etc now! However, won't be around for a while, no room for tower etc in car (not that there's electric hook ups where were going anyway!) so good luck all with the quiz, enjoy it and have fun! :) :) :)

    Hi Kathy, I chose it as it can be an interesting subject, better than religion anyway but not sure I did that well in it. Just wish I could improve on time. Expect that will come when this wrist improves. It is getting interesting with all the new members playing.

    Well that's me scuppered for the month..................6 of the questions were all about football - a couple I managed to get right but the others, what the hell do I know about league football. Might have stood a chance if it was international games.:mad::mad::eek:

    I'll smile again later.........:D
