Sorry to go off topic, but does that affiliate link get Blonde money for any Amazon purchases? Coming up to xmas with most pressies bought off Amazon I might as well "give something back" given I'm fecking useless at actually playing on the cardroom ![Smiley](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . And if it does, I would be tempted at this time of year to publicise it more prominently ![Smiley](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . And to go back to topic, the best author I've read has to be John Vorhaus (IMHO). Not sure whether any of his are aimed at beginners though.

It's reset now.
So you can play that funky music (round).
A little knowledge, and some common sense guesswork got me to 8/10. Eminently beatable by someone who knows some music. Although there were at least 3 country music questions in there for me, which didn't help.

I get back from hols to find myself doing a "Horror or Poker" round that is 10 questions on mostly obscure horror films. Different, I must say ![Smiley](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . 6/10 is winning at the mo tho ![Smiley](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . and rex I'm not sure about, he probs went to prep school or something I lol'd ![Smiley](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . But if by prep school you mean a fee paying school, then yes, funnily enough. Where alongside Latin, Greek, Fagging and Philosophy, I also had 2 lessons per week on 1980s horror films.

Yes, it appears that after the top 10 points drop off dramatically. Oh, and based on current rules, ![Smiley](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Although 35s very beatable, and I know who by ![Sad](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/sad.gif) . I'm off on hols tonight, returning next weekend. So Rod, you've got 80 points to catch in 5 days. Andrew, I think you left it too late. Good luck ![Smiley](http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

Do you really mean trickle charge? If so, that's your problem. You need to whack some current into it. Trickle charge is when it's full and you want to keep it "topped up".
Is it sealed? Are there what looks like big screwdriver crosses in the top? If so, is there a little sight glass to check the acid level? There are usually instructions on the battery to check whether it has got enough. If not, you can top up with distilled water usually. It won't charge if the level is low, which can happen if it's been fully discharged.

If you're looking for Wii or Wii Fit, a good site is here. Real time stock checker. Most places only have it in stock as part of a package, but I got two (one for a friend) from Amazon a while ago at RRP by keeping this page open for a few days.

Unless it's vitally important you pay the same amount every month, cancel the budget plan and go to quarterly DD on the actual bill amount. Those "budget" plans are designed simply so that the company has extra cash to earn some interest on. If that isn't the case, they start to panic. Blatant rip off, frankly.
