quiz421/update

Wow!!!! I have been busy recently. Pictures are ready to be printed and the quiz for this Thursday is almost finished, albeit for the obigatory tweeking. I only need one sport's question and one general knowledge because I don't like one that I wrote on Saturday and intend to remove it. The only other things I need to get done before printing on Thursday afternoon is to put the new answer sheets into their respective wallets (Ma bête noire.) Although, after last weeks poor showing there isn't much to do in that respect and I'll do that straight after publishing this post. Also, I need to finish the TV theme tunes guest round, I have the first one but have been putting off finishing it off over the weekend as it can be tedious. Don't get me wrong, I really like this guest round but, it's such a chore to put together. The Leprechaun's Pot 'O' Gold will be won on Thursday. One lucky person will be walking away with something in the region of £50!!!! I have a question prepared and the closest person to the answer will grab the whole lot, good luck to all. Questions, comments? Anything you wisy to know between now and Thursday contact me on: quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk Finally, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Gareth of The Alliance a very Happy Birthday for Thursday and hope you will all join me in making this Thursday night a great one.
