Beau Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Okay, throughout today I will be popping in and out posing quiz questions on this thread. All of the questions will have a spotty theme and there will hopefully be at least one that each of you can answer. All you need to do to participate is to send me a private message with your answer(s). If you are not sure how to do this then all you need to do is click on my name to the left of this post and choose 'Send Message' from the drop down menu. You can answer as many or few questions as you like and if you're feeling very brainy perhaps try to answer them all. The overall winner will be whoever gets the most questions correct and they will receive a cheque for £20. As always, if there is a tie for first place one name will be drawn out at random to decide the winner. Additionally everyone who answers at least one question will have their name entered into a draw and a chance of winning a Fsf notepad and pen, so its really worth having at least one go. I will give you until midnight on Sunday to get all your answers in and hopefully announce the winners on Monday. And as if that isn't enough, for every person who sends at least one answer by midnight tonight, I will donate 50p to Children in Need. See if you can bankrupt me! The first question is coming up in the next post......
Beau Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 1. “Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family.” From which film are these the opening lines? Remember, don't answer in this thread - send me a private message. However, other chatter is allowed and I'll try really hard not to give the answers away by accident.

Upsy Daisy Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Oh no! I can only name one. I'll have to think about that one.
