THANK you so much to everybody who has tweeted me today to tell me how much they enjoyed the pub quiz at CyberMummy! I think that I spoke too quietly and quickly really.
So in an effort to rectify this -- and to satisfy those bloggers asking me what questions there were about them, here they are.
Please note I will post the answers tomorrow. There is no prize now, it's just for fun. I know you can easily get the answers from Google and it doesn't really matter but if you do want to have a go -- good luck.
The questions are very easy.
Cheers!

Lyrics round
1. Been on this path of life for so long
Feel I've walked a thousand miles
Sometimes strolled hand in hand with love
Everybody's been there
2. Words are few I have spoken I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow
Words are token
3. Every minute’s like an hour
Every hour's like a day
Every day lasts forever
But what else am I gonna do?
I’d wait forever and a day for you
4. It's a struggle Livin' like a good boy oughta
In the summer
Watchin' all the girls pass by
5. When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
6. Dance It's all I wanna do
So won't you dance
I'm standing here with you
Why won't you move
7. Now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it's only because you're feeling alone
8. The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flappin' their wings singing go bird go
9. Just stay with me now.
Say the word and we’ll go.
I’ll be your teacher.
I’ll show you the ropes.
You’ll see a side of love you’ve never known.
I can see it going down, going down
10. To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
Seriously, thank you everyone for your kind words about the quiz. Making such an idiot of myself will be worth it if you could please check out Ready for Ten,the writers are fab! And thank you to Sian, Susanna and Jen, for such a great day -- everyone was so friendly and lots of laughs were shared. It was a shame a few seemed to be at me but well, I don't mind. Mwah!
