Cashier has already reported a score of 6 out of 13 on this one. That might not sound particularly good but it's still a damned sight better than my appalling 4!...

I thought I was heading for a zero score this week when I got the first three answers wrong but things got better, and then stayed better, from there on. So that's a FOUR for me. Easy enough to beat...
It looks like nobody else is going to post a 'Happy Birthday' thread on AB's 20th birthday, so I suppose that it's left up to me. (Apart from a post from Hans, querying where the celebrations are, I...
I thought that I might be heading for a maximum score this week until I got the 6th question wrong (and then the 7th one too). So that's a FIVE for me - on what seems like a fairly easy week though....
. . . that you might have missed in the the news recently. (Posted to try to add a bit of GOOD news to the site for a change!). They're all a bit unusual!...
There are a few easy questions there this week. (I doubt that many people will get the Christmas tree question wrong. It seems to have been covered in all of the media!). However there are a few...
