Place-name Qiz #8

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 25 Nov 2006, 10:41

Well, the next quiz is ready ... actually I just completed up to quiz #31 yesterday ... I used to be a boy scout (for about 6 hours!), so I'm all prepared.

It can run all week if you like and I'll correct all answers whenever I go online ... not tonight cos I have company for dinner ... so ....

Should I go ahead and post it up? If I get a minimum of 5 replies (different people, not all from one person!!) then it's on.

(Porty still has to get back to me though. Been waiting all week for that!

)

Your choice.

I probably won't play it (cos I'm rubbish!) but am such a fan of Cleo's efforts here that I thought I would add my voice.

When you started doing them at a set time rather than just posting it and leaving it, I never thought it would work - which was completely wrong as when one of Cleo's quizzes is on, you can turn your head away from the monitor and the thread has another page!

Great effort Cleo.

I'm rubbish too, Cleo you make the quizzes too difficult!

Not doing anything or going anywhere, so anytime suits me!!

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 25 Nov 2006, 15:06

Well, I disagree they're all that difficult and I really do want Dadaist taking part (or is that taking apart?) along with everyone else. Even new member Nelson Hatstand ( I think I love you already!

) Thank you all for making my head swell 4 metres round!

And will you PLEASE NOT call me Cleo ... If it's gotta be the short form ... it's Clee. Again ... thank you.

Now ... are we ready?

Set ....
