Just a quick bump cause I am bumping all my threads right now and it is fun to see "Becky, Becky, Becky" all after each other. I am sad an easily amused, leave me alone. As my mum always says when I laugh at reversing cars; "Small things please small minds" and so far she is  definitely right! :laugh:

Becky,

You sure got my score back to me quickly. Thanks. As I told you by PM, I really was impressed with your Quiz. Obviously, you put a great deal of thought, time, and effort into it, and it shows.  I'm looking forward to the next one(s).

BTW, I'd be happy to accompany you to "group therapy."  (We can count the steps from the front door to the elevator -- just in case there's ever going to be a quiz.)

Thanks again.
Fran

I know I  said I would post the answers today but I haven't written the second installment yet. (I know it is easy to just copy from the screenpaly, but I want to do it properly) So I thought I would be nice and give all of you folks a bit more of a chance, a small extension if you will. But you have to take advantage of my kind extentions cause so far I have only had about 5 official players and I had hoped for a better turn out. But I suppose "Quizas Reloaded" will get more people as it will be easier.

God I hate making excuses! I have had to do that so much today, but I am so sorry: I can't post the results today! I know I am an awful human being and I should be hung for keeping all of you on your toes like this, but it is due to lack of time on my computer. Well my time has been cut down for today because....well I don't want to go into the whole incident, but I hit my sister: she deserved it! But anyway I have sort of been grounded from the computer for most of this week for reasons stated above, but I will definitely post them tomorrow cause it is Saturday and I am free from the Comupter ban! Halleluja(sp?)
Anyway I will see you tomorrow,
Love,
Becky(Quiz mistress extrodinnaire) :-*

Becky, I'm sure you didn't really "hit" your sister.  You just "touched her hard," right?

Thanks, Becky.  I'm not going to tell you how many times I rewatched the part where Ennis walked to the bar -- and still got it wrong!
