Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yes, congratulations to the winners . I feel slightly embarrassed that I didn't do as well as most of you (but perhaps I'm just not as obsessed ). (Test me on Farmville, it might be a different story .)

Valkyrie Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hopefully I can do it before the time runs out. Well done Tom for the quiz and well done to the participants. I do however beg to differ with regard picking up birds - full headlock with head poking out under your arms while using knees to stop them wiggling.
