Glad I was able to get in on time. My best showing in quite a while.
I did better than I expected. Wonder how much different the order of finish would have been if there had been 50 entrants? (Might have gotten one other person who said the Chelsea Flower Show. )
Or The Proms.
Oh well, doesn’t look like I did very well anyway.
Wow! I thought I’d suck at this one since, at first glance, I drew blanks for most of the questions!
BOOOOOO!!:mad:
Also, I think everybody who saw Notting Hill is in this thread
Whoah! Nearly in the top ten!
