Isn't there some kind of legend attached to the Thistle - about finding silver if you can dig up all of it's root?

Re: Accywebbers Daily Trivia quiz Comp!!!
Sorry Steve tried to pm you three times in answer to your last but server error made me lose it each time.
Also managed to delete all the pms in my inbox.
May try again tomorrow if I can remember what I wanted to say.
Good luck for tomorrow, thee and me both.

Re: Accywebbers Daily Trivia quiz Comp!!!
Good selection of questions today -should be an interesting end to the month.
Sue already has it in the bag looking at the standings -unless she doesn't manage to play for some reason!

Re: Accywebbers Daily Trivia quiz Comp!!!
Hope all you Trivial Players have a good end to the year and that it goes out with a bang and some fireworks - have enjoyed the banter!
As my 10th placing this month is a little disappointing and my own NY Eve promises to be a bit of a damp squib -I am about to absent myself mentally to an undisclosed location on a sunny island. There I plan to brush up my golden tan, sit in a comfy armchair at my favourite tapas bar eating Boquerones, Pimientos del padron and other tasty morsels while sipping on cool glasses of Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin Rosé, as the sun slips down for the last time in 2011 over the fishing boats in the harbour.
Why all this? You may ask.
In true Drama-Queen style I feel the need to recharge my Giddy-batteries ready for next year's quiz where i intend to become a force to be reckoned with. After all "Tomorrow is just another day."
By the way, if anyone wants to join me, there is room at my table and the Champagne's on me!

Thank you Steve. Sorry folks for all the grumbles but as I have said before, give me a subject I know and I'll show you...
And yes, hard luck Gary but thanks for a good fight and better luck next time.
Steve I tried to pm you a fourth time but lost it again. I even thought I'd copied my typing so I could try again but that disappeared as well! I give up!

Here, here!
Very close till the end - well played Sue, mad you got a few lucky guesses or I'd have had the day so far! Bad luck Gary.
What's the trick to having lucky guesses -any tips?
How did your own battle with Dave go in the end Steve? What's your plan for getting a good start next month? Early to bed tonight?!
Have looked back at the year of Fun Trivia in the Hall of Fame:
For 2011 it's as follows:
Norwich Stanley 1 win
Mancie 5 wins
Rindy 4 wins
Setayas 1 win
Sue 1 win
Their names will be engraved in the Hall of Fame for Eternity!

Re: Accywebbers Daily Trivia quiz Comp!!!
Think you may have made it Steve - but not counting chickens just yet.
Hard luck Dave but thanks for making it interesting with Steve.

Re: Accywebbers Daily Trivia quiz Comp!!!
As it stands at the moment, Dave, there's only 1 point in it and the way the point system works that could change depending on how many people play, so I'm counting on nothing till I check the league table tomorrow.
Whichever way it ends up it could'nt have been closer....well done!
Hope you all have a good time tonight.

It's a bit of a mystery how the points work - but it sure was close between you two -probably a tie would be the fairest result. In any case it all starts again as from tomorrow -may the clearest head win! Bed early tonight and up at the crack of dawn preparing
Have a Happy New Year one and all
