Just a warning, if anyone's as daft as me.

I normally play after my breakfast, and second coffee, about 8.45.

Twice now, I've played just after 9.30. After it's been rebooting, or whatever it does, when it closes for thirty minutes, between 9 - 9.30.

I always click Standing, then go back to the main page, to check it's working.

Which it was. Everything was fine, until I tried to click submit.

Kept pressing for ages, until it worked. Just as it did the other day, at this time.

Be warned. Don't play just after the quiz is rebooting.

Sod's law.

Whizzed through today, fastest I've played for ages.

Won't be doing it again, at that time.

:D:enough::D

Can we move on to QED now?;)

I originally joined AW to see if I could find any info on Bank House which used to be where my street is now. That was before I became embroiled in this quiz!....which, btw, needs making a bit tougher.

One good thing for me this month has been seeing that i can get faster. Still don't know how ns did it so quick though!

Will probably make a super cock-up today now I've said that!:rolleyes:

Only have 2 days to catch up with Steve - gone up to 6th place today overall so the challenge is still on!:alright:

Just checked the Trivia site and it does seem to be very "sluggish".

For me to finish in 60 seconds was a real feat and seemed almost impossible when I first started.

A bit of variation in categories makes it more interesting I suppose, but I didn't realise the quiz master had to intevene every day to choose them for us (post#1940), that's quite a chore I imagine!

Still haven't played yet -not back on my own computer.

Haven't slept, so played earlier today, at sixish. Was ok then.

They have to play every six hours.

Those 15 second whizz kids, will be jumping out of their bedroom windows by now, because of withdrawl symtoms, and shame.

Never give up.

No surrender.

The quiz isn't over until I sing Dixie.

Got first question wrong, but timewise OK, am just behind you! Means I keep close to my friends Steve and Dave -but just behind -all down to the last days play...

You can sing Dixie now.:rolleyes::D

This fatty ain't singin' it, until 6am Wednesday, your British time.

Well, that's it for this month. Well done Steve -i think you've made the Hall of Fame in 5th place, I might keep my 6th place and Dave will be just behind me. My mum's done well again today so she may sneak up on us!:rolleyes:

Have to see now if it's all change next month since Mancie has asked the quiz master for categories again.

Congrats to the Top 5 -Standings to be seen tomorrow, of course.

A new challenge is on the cards from tomorrow if you "boys" are up for it -what do you say Steve and Dave, or are we going to try for the giddy heights of number one?;):D

D & D, reckon we should include Sue in our mini league - on present form we could probably whoop her ass....!!!

Ha ha, sitting down is the one thing I can't do at the moment, too painful. :eek:

Thank you Steve for thinking of me.

Well done to you lot, you all did pretty well this month. My form has slipped a bit, put it down to post-op doziness and using a different computer with a less efficient mouse - I get Richard's cast offs at the moment, the last one had the dodgy space bar and shift key which meant lots of editing of posts.

Don't like these speed contests, prefer to use my brain even if it is a bit mushy at the moment. The exercise will probably do it good. :type: ;) :)
