Do I get extra points for doing the quiz at the same time as trying to get the answers on Pointless? It adds something to the quizzing experience (but sadly, not speed).

Was the quiz actually written in a foreign language? I think that had to have been the most obscure twaddlesome quiz yet! Some lucky guesses, but bleugh... very little knowledge to display there.

The shonky weather today seems to be affecting my wifi reception (not speedy at the best of times). Had to submit twice to get it to register at all.

I don't know about never seen, Pete, I've never even heard of it!
Does that make me culturally deprived - or even culturally depraved, which sounds far more fun!
