    My favourite question so far: "How can a deceased person be transported across state lines if all necessary permits accompany him?"

    ""Q" Niall_____? Republic Of Ireland striker? "

    I'm disappointed it didn't ask what college he went to.

    Might as well bump this again seeing as I had my best score in ages. Nice lucky guess on the last question, the coach of the 76ers in 2003!

    Anyone else get loads of annoying pop-ups when they access it through IE? Seems to be happening a lot more the last few days.

    Oh yeah, now it is, when I'm back home with my mouseless laptop! Farce!!!

    (Actually, I really did play that like a t**t, kept using the down arrow before deselecting the question and had to go back each time. Gah!! )

    Well done to RWRover (Red&WhiteRover?) for getting 10 in 24 seconds! Don't see that being beaten for a while.

    Is there any way of making it a test of skill with harder level questions rather than it turning into a speed contest

    Your wish is my command, Battery Rover. We may regret asking for that.

    Tomorrow's questions will be on World: UK (That's an advantage for us Derry ones!)
    Friday: General Knowledge (Difficult)
    Sat: General Knowledge (Very difficult)
    Sun: History (Difficult)
    Mon: Literature (More difficult)
    Tues: World (Europe)
    Wed: Science and Technology (Difficult)

    That should curb those high scores. Frustrating week ahead all round, good luck everyone.

    Excellent!
    Interesting week ahead anyway.
    Reserving the right to replace that 'excellent' with an almighty whinge at a later date though.

    Flippin' well distracted on my strongest topic.

    I fear for a literature round
    The Model Club

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    Well done for mixing the competition up.

    Just clarify why have they used World: UK. Surely it's the same thing. The UK is the World isn't it?

    Everyday's a schoolday for me no matter what is put up.

    it can't possibly hurt.

    Much better. I got an easy question wrong because I thought it was a trick, I suppose it's balanced by getting one lucky guess too. Things should be much more interesting now.

    That was very tough, good though.
    8 of the 10 I had to really go through the options - took an age, and still got two wrong!
    Oldest theatre in England and biggest square in London did for me. Worked out who drove Ivor the Engine in the end though!

    Like the new look too TCM.
