Meh. Ask him why.

On the quiz, I would do it, but my score would be embarrasing.

Hi Hippyman - soz about losing top spot titter titter but we're going with No: 1 and poss No: 18 at present.

Ah right. The first one is one you either know or you don't (not wanting to give anything away to other participants) and number 18 is, again something you only really know if you did physics or chemistry at A-Level (or are really interested in science).

So want to say the answers, but I can't...

And, not too worried about top spot, I'll live! :p
