    Missed loads of days in Montenegro. Back on track today though. I liked the "What is Canada's other official language?" question this time.

    dam them jagerbombers. Othewise would have 10 out of 10 and quicker.

    Misread English Channel question. But reading with this much alcohol in your system is a skill in itself so should get extra points.

I think I'll put General Knowledge Easy in on Monday so we all get a good start
    To be honest, even though I'm going to crib like feck again in a couple of sentences, I don't think changing topics will help too much. There'll always be US-only questions and we'll just have to work around them. In addition to the obscure sports questions there's plenty of TV shows, kids' books, sweets, cakes and various types of junk food, almae matres of various Z-listers which they seem particularly obsessed with for some reason, and of course those various Z-listers themselves, that we wouldn't have the faintest clue about over here.
    Very annoying when you get them though. I mean, a question about the feckin' March Madness? Of 2003?? TBH I'm not even sure what sport that is, think it's college basketball but am not even going to look it up out of spite.

    I don't think we can complain really , if you are going to do a quiz on a site thats American based you have to expect American slanted questions

    The rest of them didn't suit you by the looks of things..Or was it "a bad line"?

    I had the Czar one a few days ago, one of the easier questions but then that story fascinated me as a child. Even prompted me to learn some Russian (which I forget now though)

    Was that the one about the world's largest spider that's also named after a biblical character oldyouth? Got that one today as well if so.
    Also got a 'take your pick from four baseballers' one right. Don't know what I was doing taking so long, not as if it was one that you could work out. Pure guess in the end that fluked in!

    No, that's the one I got wrong. It was something to do with little Johnny's parents wanting to obliterate some pests (or something)!!!!!!
