quiz434/update

I had another very busy and ultimately productive weekend. In fact, apart from the Pictures, for which I haven't yet decided on a new name and Pot 'O' Gold question, which i usually leave untill last, I just need eleven more questions. It seems to be the sports round that is giving me writer's block this week. I finished the music tape late yesterday afternoon and the guest round on Saturday. The aforementioned guest round was due to be Books and authors. However, because I desperately need to save on photocopying costs this week, I have decided to go with a pyramid round. Four questions with a 1, 2, 3 and 4-part answer, all with the common theme of geography this time. I thought I would share with you the schedule for the guest rounds over the next few week so I've listed them below. quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk as always for any questions or comments. Fingers crossed for a full house at The Albert on Thursday.

Joke of the Day: Drunk Driver (Thanks Mako)

After gunning his car the wrong way down a one-way street, the rather intoxicated young man was asked where he thought he was going by a curious police officer."I'm not really sure," confessed the drunk, "but wherever it is, I must be late, because everybody seems to be coming back already."
