Super brain Kevin wants to get out more... yes I have met him - he was of course super millennium champion in 1999.

By the way Liz and Phil were married in 1947 or do you mean the coronation in 1953?

Sue, you are a quiz behemoth
Behemoth - Behemoth is commonly identified as possibly being a sauropod dinosaur, the name has come to be used for any extremely large or powerful entity.

As I am just under 5fttall not sure that is apt but the dinosaur is better - the grey cells are becoming extinct and recall is getting harder.

The programme was on here in the 80's. He is the original sleaze ball though!

He now has a series of night clubs in top resorts -started on the Costa Smeralda in Sardinia. If you're interested he has a web site with (it's in English too) info about his clubs and a lot about the TV programme "Colpo Grosso" - it was quite Risqué for the 80's -looks quite tame now really

I also like a "proper" quiz with real questions. Have seen the Egg-heads in Tenerife with mum -she never misses it, it's quite a good format. Watched the Money Drop again yesterday evening but it's not my scene -too much luck and find the whole thing of seeing these people scrabbling about with "money" a bit degrading somehow.

Sue you really are a dark horse! As a seasoned quizzer you should have some sort of penalty on the Trivia quiz to give us mere mortals a chance...

Does anyone remember the quiz they used to have on Crackerjack where they gave you cabbages if you got a question wrong?

My penalty is advancing years and failing recall as haven't done much quizzing for ten years. Yes I remember Crackerjack but don't think I could work the mouse if I were holding a cabbage!

Yep -and the cabbages made it hard to hold onto the decent prizes!

As a consolation prize they used to give a Crackerjack pen and pencil set.

I bet they get better prizes these days on kids programmes...

Point taken, but you can't criticise something you don't read.

That was called double or drop on Crackajack.
