Thanks for all the emails, I always enjoy receiving them. This week's quiz is progressing swimmingly, the music was completed yesterday with an absolute classic to finish off (no clues). I thought of a good Tempus Fugit question and got all but one of the pictures ready which WILL this week be in colour. I have to go out shortly so I'll leave you with the Three for Fun and the Joke of the Day and hope that there are as many of you at The Albert as there were last week. quizard_97@yahoo.uk is my email if you wish to contact me in the meantime.
