Re: The Christmas Quiz

Hiya all :merrychristmas:


I have compiled some questions for the xmas quiz, but I wanted to see if it was ok to post them up here. I don't wanna 'tread' on PK's toes (so to speak lol ) I might be a bit daft to ask, but I think its courtesy to ask first, as Pk has always been the man to do it lol


My questions have been 'pinched' from all over the web, so it wil be a mish mash of music, general knowledge, and A B C choices etc...

Re: The Christmas Quiz

Oi Bud, when we had one OTR I was the only person who knew that the only virgin product that didn't bear the virgin name was Mates condoms, so there I am not as thick as you might think. Plus I don't need quizes to show myself up, I am quite capable without questions.....
