I can change the time and day. Just not to anywhere during 8-6 Mon-Fri.
It's hard enough partaking of the quiz during lunch break (very interruptible) and impossible to host then.

Nice! Was that gun aimed at me for when I forgot :D :p:

Although I must admit that, after the two hour meeting I had this morning, a timely reminder from Mrs Nug helped quite a bit :disturbd:
