You sound exactly like me! :D

I was so happy to get 24 last month and I thought I had done well this time, so to get 19 was disappointing! :(

I suppose all my guesses were wrong! :oops:

I wanted to have a go, (left it a bit late this month), but someone has already done it for me.

Probably TF Carthick! :evil:

I agree that many people including Daisy, have got 30 in a short time limit - but I trust Daisy, whereas TF Carthick is a mystery to us all.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

I still don't. :shock: Is it a British in-joke, or am I missing something obvious (not unlikely)?

I'm assuming that the video clip is of someone flipping a pancake, and that John is suggesting that TF Carthick is a 'flipping nuisance'. :wink:

Sorry about that. I've removed the attempt by "Mr Lenoir" so you should be able to do the quiz now.
