Yes of course it is PinkAngel as long as you sign the legal document I have prepared for you!!

I PinkAngel, being of reasonably sound mind, do solemnly swear, that if I have got any of the above questions wrong I am the only one that gets the caning. Furthermore I should get an extra hot double dose for being smug and insufferable.

Sorry I didn't see your excellent description of the movie Adam's Rib until now. That's the One.

As a novice to this august website may I ask MisThrashbottom whether anyone was able to find answers to questions 8 and 9 of last year's quiz? (I know my homework is very late but the dog ate it ... )

The thread died last year with some informative answers to some of the questions, but I have not been able to satisfy my curiosity about Ramsey or Scarfe. Is there a crib sheet that the other students have been passing around?

(I know cribbing is a serious matter, by the way, and I would not dream of getting caught doing it again )

8. Was the Davis Benedictus book The Fourth of June
9. Was a wonderful book by A.N. Wilson called Incline Our Hearts!

Better late than never I suppose!!
