Name of quiz and closing date?

[mallyh]

theres a line in the rime of the ancient mariner ....
now get thee hence thou grey-beard loon ....but cant work the 6 2 4-5 4

[mallyh]

loon is the bird ^^^

[fiction-factory]

Yours will be right, mally. Either dessip or the setter has it wrong.
I don't think anyone could have got this one without the extra info regarding theme etc

'Hold off! Unhand me, grey-beard loon!'

...or mally will have got it slightly wrong.

Well done Tilly and Mally between you.
