hehe.... I have to keep my algebra muscles limber for middle school math homework. That's why I tried to show my work. I treated it like a homework problem SonofV might have. You see the first draft, not the polished final product. But that's where the work is, the rest is finish carpentry, something neither of us is passionate about. I leave that to artisans like Griff and Happy Monkey.

You not got a game of Triv you can raid there, Brianna? The perfect source for pub quiz questions.

I think you mean me, Monster - it's my request.

I don't personally have a game of Triv (my family have one of course, just not me) and my friend doesn't either, at least not in Kenya.

If anyone else is willing to type in a selection of questions and answers of course I'd appreciate it.....

I did, sorry, I just realized that but you'd already posted! It's because you're both such lovely people

OK, I'll try to dig some out later (didn't want to do it if you'd already ruled it out)
