Tonight UK time? Now you have me calculating time differences! (OK, even I can add 6 without too much trouble!).
Hang, on if I'm making lunch, that means it is tonight...

Oh, gosh.
Is this the bit where I'm supposed to say that I haven't got a speech prepared, and thank my manager and agent?
Seriously, though, this was great fun. Well played everyone, and congratulations to all the award winners.

I would have loved to volunteer, but I don't really have the time, am already very snowed under with work so sorry I don't think I can. Thanks QM for running the quiz - was brilliant, and well done Caty!
