As this was a joint effort with my wife looking over my shoulder, does this mean my status needs to be demoted, or that she needs a promotion?

Nine out of Twelve: the Hurricane business was before my time, and I forgot about [clue removed]-- bad 'coz I saw the real one when he came through our towna few years ago; I waved back. Dunno about the third one I missed... Almost missed Rev. Gerald's church, but fortunately I have the book - could have been confused 'coz it's printed by Holy Trinity in London (ZBrompton?)

I got 10 of 12, but one of them I made a mistake putting the click in the box(yeah, yeah, I know, no excuses). Missed the preacher, though.

FYI, Beryl was the board that lead to the creation of the Circus. It was created during Host & Admin week - the celebration of Erin's reaching 10000 posts.

100%.
Some questions that were inexplicably missed off and which I offer up in honour of the 10,000 member anniversary:
13) What did the original band of Australians and Americans who posted in the quiet hours of the day call themselves?
a) The Gin Soaks
b) The Bored Colonial Brigade
c) Erin's bitches
d) The Nightwatch
14) Which of these used to be a board?
a) Gadgets for God
b) The Letters Page
c) Ungodly Fear
d) John Calvin's Newsround

It was actually called: Let's see how long we can make the shipmates grovel for before they realise that we are wonderful, we are everything and without us there would be no ship.
How long did it last?: you mean it has stopped already?
From memory, I think it went on for 48 hours... or was that two weeks....

Oh, finding Beryl and figuring it out--very good! ![[Smile]](smile.gif) It was called Hosts and Admins Day, because it was originally supposed to be just one day, but it was so much fun (at least for the hosts and admins) that Erin extended it for two more days.

7/12 for two years before the mast, sometimes going ashore for non-nautical activities.
If I had scored any higher, I would think the quiz wasn't very good and that I was taking myself far too seriously.
Good fun.
