"8 thanks MD The way my scores are going you won't need that new spreadsheet to record them, Zico. An old fag packet should suffice :)"

Every answer is a point. I'll even give a full point for own goal. I appear to be in a good mood tonight for some reason

I'm with mallard on this - often too late to have a go but frequently (and pleasantly) surprised about how little I actually know about the world. Educational is a very apt label (even at my age). My thanks.

"13 Today thanks Zico, Well done for all your efforts. I think I had it easier than you doing the Quiz Master bit in lockdown. Gave me something to do and I enjoyed researching and writing all my own questions. But unlike you and Mad Dog I was not in employment. My home circumstances are such that I can't commit to regular posting these days (unlike in lockdown). But if it helps I could make available some old questions for you or others to recycle or update. At least that should improve my scores ( well it might not !)"

[zico]

"Mad Dog I am sorry I have been informed you may have broken Financial Fair Play Rules so may have to dock you 3000 points, however don't worry as I suspect I will give them back to you in 5 minutes time! ;-)"
