Cheers for the quizzes last night alex and nirv.
Top stuff, |
|
By:
No worries UTI. Are you doing one of your famous 'top ten' quizzes soon?
|
|
By:
I would like to Alex, but last night was a one off, I can't normally access the forum in the evenings presently. Also I was running out of suitable topics also, there is a somewhat finite list of topics that can be reasonably (giving everyone a chance but still rewarding the truly knowledgeable) asked.
|
|
By:
I'm sure you could host one in nibbs' room during the day - after 1pm when everyone starts getting out of their pits
 |
|
By:
I tried one during lunch (1 till 2) before but not many takers. I'll be back online soon enough and will start quizzing.
|
|
By:
Excellent - in the meantime, you'll be compiling some lists as a result of your extensivev surveys on here?
