and with that lack of knowledge of the personal life of a foreign former president, I have probably lost the chance of winning this month overall.
Not playing yesterday (or for that matter, most weekends) didn't exactly help either.

Bloomin' colleague who came into the office just as I was starting the quiz ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) so I closed the quiz tab ...
I re-clicked on it and did the quiz, got 10/10, but it had still been counting, so my time was 1195 seconds.
Sod that for a game of soldiers.
On a positive note, I came seventh in the September rankings. ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)

Bloody second guessing. I hate it like the dickens when there is one answer to two questions, which makes me unsure of my answer to one, especially in the Old Testament.
