No. I had a lie down.

With two slices of cucumber on my eyes.

The amount I drink i could try a full body treatment -could be an idea, wouldn't mind being as smooth as silk all over..

Think G will be reduced to trying coffee grounds -don't know if they have the same effect!

Tomorrow I'm going to try sticking pins in my eyes.

So hopefully I don't make such a hash of the quiz.

Not such a hash, you have got 6 points and I have somehow hung on to seven.... NS was impossibly fast today.

Most have played so can I now GRUMBLE!

The one I got wrong was in Imperial measurements, I have been used to Metric since 1971 when I had to learn it at junior school - they don't still use feet in the USA do they!?

Thought rugs were measured in knots...!

Time for UK to come up and wreck my showing...

That's the one I got wrong too...9x12 is not a rug in my book its a carpet.

And yes we do still use feet here as well as in USA.

My time was slow because with these stupidly easy questions I have to read each one twice to make sure they really want the answer that is so obvious.

Today's grumble and it's not even 10am! Went to site, clicked Standings, working OK, clicked Main, then went to play, got the following message:

It appears that our server is temporarily busy due to too many or long-running requests and your request has timed out. Please try hitting reload on this page a few minutes from now to resubmit your request. If this problem persists, please try back a little later. Our apologies if this results in one of your timed games performing poorly!

The last sentence made me see red as you can tell. Went back asap, time still 168 secs! would have been well under a minute without that.

That really is a bummer.

I can imagine -the one I got wrong I had seen before but couldn't remember what it should have been -probably made the same wrong answer as before! Which my memory was sharper at times -will remember the answer now but it'll probably never come up again

I always play early and have (touchwood!) never got caught out by these problems -I have the advantage of time being an hour ahead WRT you English players

See you're getting into the American jargon though Sue could it be that you are clueing into the Yankee Trivia influence?

Yep! Should have guessed

Messed up today -trying to be fast clicked a wrong answer on a question I knew -very annoying. Did the same last time we had animals as a subject...

Well I have had a complete and utter mental block on one question on Tuesday and today, both of which I knew the answers to - couple that with the crap time yesterday which was not my fault and I'm going rapidly downhill... think the radiation is doing something to my brain.

Must brush up on my Geog. that's the second time I've done badly on it.

Hate Central America -it really confuses me....much prefer map-reading!

Luckily mine has been a really good day for other reasons and I am high as a kite

mobertol · 22-03-2012, 21:38

Excuse me -I know that every time there's written -"All of These" "or None of these" that is generally the answer.

Come on -it takes a giant leap of imagination that "LABS" are good at AGILITY!!!!! Since when.....I'm an "Effing" Olympic Athlete - those that twirl ribbons around and do amazing things with hoola hoops

Am thinking of going in for diving and competeing with Tom Daly...

Sounds like the ramblings of a madwoman....!!!!
