                    Hi folks.
Right, my wife had a phonecall today from Capital FM about this competition (Thank you Lakshmi), and we had to answer as many questions correctly as possible in 40 seconds.
Yesterdays couple got 4 questions right, we got 6 right today, and it runs every day until Friday.
I'm not holding out much hope, but you never know!
I will be at work every day this week so won't be able to find out how the other couples get on this week.
If anyone listens to CapitalFM around 10:00am tomorrow, Thurs & Fri, can you post on here how well the other couples get on?
Thanks in advance!
Simon
EDIT: We won this, we had a tie break situation today and were closest!
Can't believe it, thank you Lakshmi for posting.
I love you all!!! x

            No, not at all.
We got asked 8 questions, and got 6 right.
I answered my 4 correctly;
What is the currency of USA?
What does USA stand for?
Black Eyed Peas performed at what event last weekend?
David Beckham plays for which US football team?
My wife was asked:
Which Beckham child was named after a New York borough?
The song "Empire State Of Mind" was written about which US city?
The two she got wrong (which, for the record, I didn't know either!)
Who sung California Girls?
Which singer is married to Jayzee?0 -
