quiz449/update


I'm going to be brief today as I have quite a lot on. In fact, I've been busy all weekend and still haven't manage to get on top of things. This week's quiz is just over half done. I managed to get the music tape done in about an hour yesterday afternoon but I haven't checked it yet. I had a great idea for a guest round last week butI'm going to keep it to myself for now. So basically, what I need to do to finish off are the Faces and about twenty questions.
