Any other time I would, Lynn, but I am leaving for a course which lasts from Thursday to monday night so I would be a bit pushed to get it done before then. Sorry :( Congrats though :)

You would make a good president of FIFA then michelle :grin:

If I had noticed there were 32 Q's and each country named only once then I might have got most of them by process of elimination, blown my chance just like the Ghana penalty taker :lol:
