[little*red]

I'm gobsmacked any of us got any

were the questions too hard? i didnt want to make them too easy but not too hard either

 

[libs]

nooo - it all just got a little frantic

it was great

 

[little*red]

should i make it 2 minutes in between questions? its just i dont want people cheating by googlin the answers

 

[sophie-jordan]

na i think it was fine how it was

 

[libs]

no - keep to one minute - too much temptation to cheat otherwise

 

[Misslarue]

No it was cool lil red. Some I just didn't have a clue and others were easy but it's good to have a balance. Also you had some that you even know or you don't (tight-roper!!) which was great and some you can have a slightly educated guess at! Like the TV licence thing, I guess 46 as it was a year after the war and I knew that quite a few new things were induced then.............but seriously didn't think it was right!! lol
Great balance hun, it was really good

 

[little*red]

glad you liked it girls, hopefully we can get more people to play next time and perhaps have 30 questions instead of 15.

from the polls the favourite time seems to be after 8 on a thursday.

so say 8.30pm on a Thursday? starting tommorrow, i'll go make up questions now!
