Come on guys! I could do with some competition (I don’t want anyone *Cough Suzi*) to be able to claim I won through lack of entries - I’d much prefer to beat all of you, which I will do, obviously :)
Woohoo another quiz entry has just arrived from Jaq so it's now a three way battle, getting exciting isn't it ;)
In true quiz master style I can say no more till the answers are marked and totaled :x
I wouldn't exactly say battle! Half of my answers were blank and the rest were a combination of guesses and silly answers!!!
*cough* you didn't see what my team entered! (rofl) *cough*
Still time to enter, I've been messing with docs appointments this morn so not got round to marking the quiz yet, I'll be off out for lunch shortly so feel free to enter up to the time I make the grand announcement of who attained the pinnacle of quizdom.
