Don't take it so seriously David. It was just a fun needle at 2 guys I'm sure are much smarter than I am.

I would bet no-one submitted a single answer that they had googled.

Turns out I had googled the answer to the tie breaker about 2months ago after I read that Subway had just overtaken Starbucks worldwide and then wanted to know who had the most...that'll be MacDonalds then. If it comes to tiebreaker in my match I should be alright

Tikay I'm disappointed in you.

You challenged me to a last longer and then bailed when you saw I drew Dinglebelle.

The Last Longer is still on, don't be backing out.

And don't be putting Dingledelle down - as Typists from Blackburn go, she's quite smart.

Meanwhile, I've been done over a treat.

I'm supposed to know what hummus contains, & what peso is made from. WTF?

Anyway, best send my correct answers in. Both of them.

So, how did that go Conky?

[tikay]

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.
