May I just say that flattery will get you everywhere Cleopas ?
I think things have been a bit quiet lately, however, it's been the Summer holidays and a fantastic summer it's been too

but the rain is back so think my life is going to get busier......

Where did I say that? Me? A student??
Not without a grant, mate ... and the parents say if they get a form asking for a contribution, they're gonna say they've never heard of me!

Kickstart was that one with the kids on the bikes balancing on those wood things, with them falling off into straw and then the St Johns dudes sliding down the hole as well. And there was mud too.

Yes!!! That's the one ... now endlessly repeated on outtake shows ... but very funny. I'd never have got the title of that show myself ... thanks Dadaist!!! That scene is now playing over and over in my mind and I'm chortling with unholy glee!

(Good grief ... I'm STILL in that good mood!)

Points from Place Names Quiz 5 now added. Looks a bit strange because I haven't been able to delete Dada's last edit notification

Your quizzes are great Cleopas and I was annoyed I wasn't able to make time for your last one. I think you should have a break before the next . As the old adage goes,' Treat them mean to keep them keen'.

Hi Cleopas, hope your move went smoothly with no major hitches.
I'm looking forward to another quiz but am out Thurs, Fri and Saturday next week so earlier in the week would suit me.

Just had a message to say that Cleopas is having problems with his computer after the big move, so anyone waiting for the next quiz may have to wait a little longer.
