You should be docked a point for that...

As it stands, I can't be relegated from the diddy league and I look like having no chance of promotion this week. Dock away....

People get paid for this?!?!?!?!

Anyway, I'm in mourning today. No, not cos of him dying, cos I have to drive 12 miles in the bloody snow to start a new job. As such it might not be till late night before the league gets updated. A thousand sorries :(

Oh, and I only got 5 in the quiz. Buggery.

Knew six and guessed four for a rather sweet 9/10, but I still got an Aussie question wrong - the second one - some celebrity guff.

That means I guessed the sport correctly but I can't even remember what my answer was as I am still employing the "hit an answer quickly" technique.

That works quite well, in my experience.

At the risk of offending Mr. Murdoch, I might do just that, as a one-off, for promo purposes only ;). I might subtly rephrase the questions so I'm not infringing copyright. I'll do it when I've got a spare fifteen minutes.

You won't be offending Rupe as The Oztralian is also one of his.
