Can anybody see this?

It's never appeared in my 'New Posts' section and nobody has commented at all, so I'm just wondering...

yes. once you have clicked on a new post it doesn't appear again until someone else replies. I will do it in the morning as I'm heading off shortly to pick up drunken women :lol:

.. all above board by the way :)

Phew! I thought one of the mods had rejected it or something. :-)

Good Quiz, nice one i will do it later.

This quiz looks really good! I will rest my brain tomorrow and make sure it is fully hydrated with brain fluid (cider) and I will submit my attempt on Sunday :-)

is Q 25 missing?

ah never mind I see it. it's in the same line as Q 24

My head is whizzing after picking up the drunken wenches who were singing rude songs in the back and I was hoping wouldn't be sick in the car :lol:

Thanks. I missed that. How you car is still nice and clean after the taxi pick-up. :wink:
