Friday Quiz Is Go Go Go !!!
OK - it's here, the first ever cookie_365 Friday quiz!
Usual rules apply; for newcomers that means:
- Use of Google, wikipedia, Jeeves, smartarse other half, and all similar oracles, strictly verboten until 7 pm
- No more than 3 answers per post, unless the board software mergest them together cos you're on a roll and no one else has posted in between.
- Cookie's decision, as in life, is final.
Eyes down, good luck !!
