    Yeah but you have about 8 hours before I get home and compile the results :)

    Remember, guess what you think others will give and there are usually no wrong answers :)

    Ah, I sent my PM before I knew fictional characters could be used. I definitely would have said Fr. Ted otherwise :(

    Oh well, hopefully will do better at next one.

    I'll check when I get home later but it may be because the program rejected your answers which weren't in the correct format and I didn't spot the error message...
