Objection

various lists for this I am sure, and Twilight series is number 2 on this one from 2000-2009

There's more than one source for a question like this

"Meyer's young adult novels were popular with teenagers and adults, and were among the top 10 bestsellers for any genre for several consecutive years. "

http://bestsellers.about.com/od/bestworstoftheyear/tp/best_of_decade_peoples_choice.htm

CF did stipulate by volume so surely there can be no doubt about this question. It's simply a matter of numbers and the number of books sold by your author was not as big the number of books sold but the top ten.  That site seems to be someone's opinion of best sellers and obv twilight was only a best seller in poor months of book sales. And if it was not for pre pubesant girls and old pervs like you the books would not have sold any copies at all.

Edit: Tbf I could have gone for Twilight too because that was the first site that came up when I googled best sellers between 2000 and 2009

Lol..., I was trying to insinuate Tighty had googled.  I just googled it just now and the site tighty referred to was first up.

Pretty sure  from my pm to CF that it's obv I never googled

Wp for getting this going again.


1. Lord Coe....... Does not stipulate competing. Hope you mark this wrong then I can spit my dummy out on the first question and switch off and watch tv

2. Skyfall....... Bit anal and gambling on out thinking the anal thinkers that this is too obvious and everyone will go for it so will give it a wide berth

3.Tinf...... Once again a long shot but just might get it through.

4. Aled Jones..... Could be a sheep here

5. Wembley...... Once again using your too obv to be picked rule so you will get the blame

6. Pass......So wanted to google this as there must be loads but can only think of 3 answers

7. Nothing for two in a bed, not in this game.... Fml can't even think of the card game it was from lol

8. Franc..... Swiss I hope

9. Graham chapman ...... Hopefully the least known of the 5 and you are just taking these 5 as correct and not including all cast members of all the films.

10. John Howard..... Australia

11.  Dan Brown..... Hope it gets less than JK Rowling as I only knew this two... Thinking about it was Da Vinci Code in the top ten.

12.  Police.... Once again choose the obvious card. Wanted to put mountain rescue




Don't you need a tie break for me tighty and kinboshi?

TWO RSQ Life bans now, for arguing.

Any more, and it will be THREE RSQ life bans.

Hope Kinboshi gets it up soon.  Sheep quizes are so much less controversial

[kinboshi]

Only just seen this, can't believe Julia Gillard wasn't an ace ffs!

Well played JK

OK, will do a RSQ, and it'll be up before the end of the week and the reveal will be an evening next week.

[Laxie]

Uh huh.  That's what he said last time.

[kinboshi]

Uh huh.  That's what he said last time.

[tikay]

Can you include an extra rule, Dan?

Rule 27 - Herbie is BANNED from entering.

Credit where its due though, "TINF" was pretty clever.

Yeah this was the highlight of my night. We both had the same idea and yours was not an ace. 2nd was tighty actually scoring a 4. Anyone can mark him wrong but for him to score a 4 now that's pretty rare

I nearly went for Howard as my answer as well!  That would have been worse than having the same answer as someone else...having the same answer as Herbie!!  If that'd happened the next thing you'd see is me wearing dodgy hoodies, cleaning windows, and spending my waking hours causing trouble on blonde and browsing THM database and looking longingly at travel brochures to Morocco...

Lol the best you can hope for is I need to get a job soon. Could be a trolley collector on Asda car park then am bound to get run over whilst on blonde

Surely Herbert gets a ban for posting the contents of a pm?
