Not one to give up  I've just done them all, it's hard and I've probably got a lot wrong but then if it was easy it would have been boring. Really got me got me going this afternoon. So, has anyone else done it yet ;D |

Hiya Chuckles Glad you enjoyed it. It had to be reasonably tough, there's a good prize at stake!! There's only one snag with compiling quizzes, you can't have a go yourself! Good luck with your entry.  |

Done and sent Chuckles. It was a tough one and made me think twice at least about what I thought I knew, which actually wasn't a lot!!!
Well done PG for a thoroughly challenging quiz.

What did I think you meant Chuckles? It wouldn't matter, the answer would still be "NO"  |

Oh Beanie your post did make me smile. I didn't know any of the answers so I shouldn't worry. It was fun looking things up and I now know a lot more than I did a few days ago Even more than I needed to for the answers |

Thought I'd dropped a clanger there. I've said it before, but it was fun wasn't it? I learnt a lot too, which is always good in my book. |

Although there is not much time left to enter the main competition, I am just putting the finishing touches to the follow-on Picture Quiz, which will be posted later tonight. So if you don't think you've done very well with PG's quiz, another chance and another prize will be coming along very soon. |

I've sent in my answers to Piggin's fantastic quiz. I had to go and lie down with an icepack on my head as my brain hurt so much. |

So if you don't think you've done very well with PG's quiz, another chance and another prize will be coming along very soon. Owing to recent events, I'm afraid that the schedule has slipped somewhat and so it now seems likely that the Picture Quiz will actually be launched on Monday evening 20th August. Sorry for the delay! ;D |
