I'm a little late posting today as it seems there is a problm with the server and I haven't been able to log on to this page until now, I kept getting a "Google server error message." Anyway, it seems fine now. I had a slow start to compiling this week's quiz as I was up until 6am on Saturday morning cleaning a trojan off of my PC. The thing is that when researching questions i visit hundreds of web pages each week and just occasionally I don't get the page I'm expedting but one with a nasty surprise on it and I have to run my anti spyware program which can take a couple of hours. On Saturday i was understably out of synch most of the day and hardly looked at the quiz, however on Sunday I got my teeth into it and also managed to blitz a music tape in a little over 30 minutes. last night before retiring I put this weeks guest round together and printed them off, this week it is Trackword, ten jumbled up nine-letter words. All that is left to do between now and Thursday night are 19 questions plus something for the Pot 'O' Gold and the Faces round and I already have nine of the twenty photos I need before putting it together ready for printing. I'm going to get on now so I hope to see all of you and hopefully a few more at The Albert on Thursday night. Questions, comments or just want to say hi then email me at: quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk
