So how have I been doing at catching up with these?
Not bad, not great
We're in December now, and I think I did the Christmas one earlier so must remember to not post that up again.
The Quizmaster does miss a few weeks from time to time
So maybe I should keep a few in reserve & then go more topical by posting the actual quiz on the Friday when it arrives
I'll catch up a bit more first
