Dear Oh Dear. Another simple little quiz and it's straight on to the Answerbank! Can nobody actually DO quizzes anymore. Why did you send for it? Why don't you just donate the money and leave the quiz for people who enjoy a challenge. Another one spoiled.

To ivorbiggun dont look at the answers its as simple as that

[nilesquimby]

The person that sets it said on the last quiz that they don't mind questions being asked on here Ivorbiggun. If he had stated that he didn't like questions asked I would have respected that.

nilesquimby - I respect what the quizsetter has said, but several people have said that it would be appreciated if questions could not be asked on here and therefore spoil an excellent quiz, so why can't you respect their wishes?

If you have the quiz, you will already have paid for it and therefore contributed to the charity - so there is no need to cheat and get other people to do the hard work for you. If you don't know an answer or can't find out "under your own steam" then have a guess or leave a blank space - where's the harm in that?

I agree with Ivorbiggun and Boysinblue particularly as all 5 questions in that section have been posted. I'm sure the quizsetter didn't expect so many question asked on here. I spent hours on those answers just to see them handed out like sweeties!
And the stupid comment about 'don't look at the answers', you are missing the point - we have done the quiz and aren't here looking for answers. I check the site just to see what questions are being posted, assuming people are actually finding them difficult. Posting a whole section seems more 'can't be bothered to try' to me.

What I don't understand is why the holier than thou Ivorbiggun manages to find his way to ALL the quiz answers, unless he is looking for them to fill in his own answer sheet? STOP SEARCHING YOU SAD MAN!

[Jammydodgem]

Uncalled for palaceben..............

This subject had gone cold a while back (almost a month).

You are the "sadder" person for bringing it back to the fore IMO.

I agree with Ivor for the record.

Please can you tell me why Sunderland is the answer to number 5?
