Thanks for the response and like you I so want to tell you what we put - but we'll both have to wait until the answers are posted.
Rest assured - we're both top dogs!!

Too right... are you a pub quiz regular? Try to go to few myself at my local!
Usually end second in the quiz there as well! (but the 2nd prize is 6 bottles of beer, compared to half the quiz entry takings (that is usually less than the price of the 6 bottles of beer!)
Following that, usually in my team, I'm the only beer drinker - so I get the spoils without having to share it!

Don't do so many now as I used too. Myself, son's godfather and son do one major one in our village each year - and win! Upsets everyone, but who cares.
Used to do a lot when I lived in Leeds - especially one Irish pub. The prize list was as follows:
1st bottle Jamesons
2nd 6 bottles lager
3rd 2 bottles Jamesons
We never won, we always came 3rd!!

I'm hopeless, always come second at everything (remeber that everyone as it may be a future question on a quiz I may do one day!
Came first in fishing contest and won a few hundred pounts, two trophies and bottleof whiskey (unfortunately I was 12 at the time and had to give it to my dad). But second in every other contest I've won.

True, but I think you'll jinx this now and someone will get 17 or 18 right, dropping me to third!
Hopefully you can win it!

The Trish is coming to take over your leaderboard.
haha, sent mine, being a physics/astronomy/geography student some were nicer than others, even if some of the q's are a little ambiguous
