Dear Simon,

When you offer a very generous monetary prize, you risk running foul of some countries' sweepstakes laws.

Fun competition - I am doing it just for me and because it's raining.

Thanks Rowena. I think I will take the risk.

In fact it would be great publicity. Usually we get a couple of dozen entries.

Question 6 seems to have got a little muddled, throwing the rest of the numbering out. It looks like 6 & 7 are meant to go together, and the unnumbered one at the end should be 10. Is that correct?

Dear Rowena

When you post bollacks, you run the the risk of having the piss taken out of you.

Oops. And I haven't had a beer yet. Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

No worries. Thanks for making this fun quiz, I enjoyed doing it. :)

I can't get it to recognise that you're the one I want to PM, Simon :S Don't want to send it to some random strange Simon... :S

This was a lot of fun to take part in.

I have never pmd myself. Can you click the cat picture or the one where the moderators are shown?

Thanks, Simon. It was fun reading all about Spinelli.

He's ignoring my messages.

How dare he allow his job to interfere with group duties?

I'm fairly sure it isn't me as I didn't enter.

Oh.

Had to enter, did we?

Then it's not me.

I don't think it's me, I made up one of the answer cause I got fed up looking for the answer

I had to Google so many of the answers that it would have felt as if it was Google entering, rather than me.

i googled them all. \0/

I had to google some too, but I learned new and interesting things so that's a Good Thing!

I think the whole point was to google...

I googled them too

I think I knew two but had to google all the others. Probably still got them wrong though :o)

The suspense is killing me!

You?

Wait til I throttle Simon...

I think he's gone abroad. It's nearly May and we have no April books.

I just harassed him.

Said he should have time in an hour or two.

I've no idea about the new group reads though.

I had to google as well. On the plus side i'm now re-reading H. G. Wells :)
