Ok 2 down 25 to go.....

If you could find all 27, or somewhere near, would make it easier for me to post an answer thread.

Cheers

Why do you gamble in the first place?

You used to have a stab at my Friday Night Quizzes but seem to have disappeared recently.
Yourself & Ruby made quite a formidable pair, it must be said, especially where music was concerned!!

Phew those last few took some doing.
You wouldn't believe all the words I looked for and it was the 3 simplest that caught me out.

I have been busy at weekends for quite a while, but things have quietened down now so hopefully when you set your next quizzes I will be around.:)

Thanks for taking the time to put this together Ada

Summat's just occurred to me Ada. Why did you call it the Vernal equinox quiz? :doh :)

TheGoodGuy
30th October 2005, 20:19
I was having a discussion/argumentwith someone about yesterday NOT being the vernal eqinox.
Unbeknown to me they changed the name of the thread while I was scanning the attachment and didn't notice until I had actually posted the thread. I think alcohol was the main culprit as normally my computer is out of bounds to drunken :butthead: 's
To say I was p****d off is an understatement.
I have been waiting for the question Sparky. :)

What I would like is for a kind Mod to change it back to what I originally was going to call it.....'Ada's End Of Summertime Quiz.'

There you have it........

Ada.
