Hi,

Fristly this looks to be a fantastic forum, many thanks to the admin for setting it up.

I'm a huge famous five fan, as you'll see if you read my post in looking to buy and was just testing the water here to see who'd be up for a bit of a quiz on the famous five stories?

Basically The first poster would set a question on one of the stories, and the person who answers it then poses a question of their own, as easy or difficult as you like (not to be cheating though and looking it up in books)

So, would anyone be interested in partaking in this? (as I'm a newbie I don't want to be presumptios and just start one.)

Cheers
