Could you not have waited a little bit longer before asking for help. This quiz only came out yesterday and you have asked for all but two in this section. It does not close until the end of March.

[squarebear]

Ignore Jared. Any question may be asked here.

Because of Jared's moaning, I have solved a few of them for you:

TMASTCAL - There's Many a Slip Twixt Cup and Lip
OTGDY, Only the Good Die Young
YIWOTY Youth is wasted on the young
NNIGN - No news is good news
MMTWGR - Music makes the world go round.
ACMLAAK - A cat may look at a king

brigitte.gad - perhaps you could tell us why you need to ask for so many answers in this quiz, given that it was only published in the last few days? The closing date for this quiz is 31 March, so there is clearly plenty of time to do the research yourself, isn't there?

[squarebear]

Oh dear. More moaning means more answers:

TEIHTFD, To err is human to forgive divine
VITSOL - Variety Is The Spice Of Life

[boysinblue68]

squarebear - even given your normal statements about "that's what this site is for", etc, etc., can you not agree that asking for so many answers only a day after a quiz is published (with a closing date of 31 March) is pushing the extremes of credibility just a little?

[squarebear]

Nope. It doesn't matter if it closes tomorrow or the year 3000. This is a Q&A site and ANY question can be asked.

I genuinely don't understand why you would join a website where you so strongly disagree with its content.

[boysinblue68]

And I genuinely don't understand why you can't realise the harm you and your fellow correspondents are doing - irrespective of the fact that all you do is hide behind the "that's what this site is for" statement!

[boysinblue68]

As usual squarebear, you're reply speaks volumes for the kind of person you are.

[squarebear]

As does yours. I was always taught to help others where I can. That's the kind of person I am. Sounds better than being a grouch who only posts to moan at people.

[boysinblue68]

At least my posts are not abusive or offensive - shame you cannot say the same! Helping other people is admirable - the only trouble is that is these situations you are "helping" people who are too lazy to do any work themselves, as I'm sure you well know. The majority of the questions you answer could easily be looked up using google in half the time it takes to post the question on here. I was always taught that you learn nothing by getting someone else to give you the answer. The longer you carry on drip feeding them the answers, the more they will carry on asking - and they won't actually learn anything.
