First entry in from a certain Princess no names no pack drill ;)

It's fun if you don't know make an educated guess or make something up who knows you may be right after all if you make the Quizmaster giggle you may get an extra 1/2 point (giggle).

You are allowed to ask for help from family and friends provided they don't use t'internet.
