Well done sharplea.

Can't believe i went out with 17.
Also can't believe i got the deputy prime minister wrong. 

Very unlucky Deggy, that's a monster score - I won my round with just 9.

Having said that, I could only beat what was put in front of me, if you get my drift, so I took it easy, & won hard-held, Piggott style, easing up before the line. If I'd tried, I reckon I could have scored 22 or 23.

Next? Bring on DingleDelle. Or any girlie, I suppose. 

You are definitely cruisin' old man.
But you are funny.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this quiz Scotty, it's a great idea and very well hosted.  So far anyway!

No shame in losing to Tighty.  Bit disappointed with two of my answers, should have got those but I don't think I was ever going to win.
