[SIZE=+1]Afternoon all, hope everyone is well.

Now for my rant.

That quiz! I hate it! I hate the American questions! I only ever get wrong American questions! I got 2 wrong today; look at the questions. :eek:
I demand a recount!

4. What chewy candies come in various flavors and look like elongated jelly beans?[/SIZE]
The correct answer was [SIZE=+1]Mike and Ike[/SIZE]. [SIZE=+1] Mike and Ike candy is made by Just Born Inc. of Bethlehem, PA. They also make Peeps and Zours. I have no idea what they are.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]8. AARP is an organization made up of which group of people?[/SIZE]
The correct answer was [SIZE=+1]seniors[/SIZE].
[SIZE=+1] AARP stands for the American Association of Retired Persons. Anyone age 55 or older can be a member. You don't even have to be retired. AARP also publishes the most widely circulated magazine in the United States.
[/SIZE]
How is anyone outside the US supposed to know that?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! :eek: :eek: :eek:

That's better; rant over, thank you. Have a lovely day, guys.

OB :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

btw2. I actually really love doing the quiz every day; I am just kidding really.

Afternoon all
3Dogs and Mr 3Dogs....big hugs and hope everything go's well for you today

Thanks IssyC for the Dunelm info. My roasting dishes are well past their best so I've reserved a couple.

Thanks too to both posters for the mascara deal at boots and the Superdrug info....will check that out tomorrow as it's too cold to go out today!!

Missed out on the towel bale AGAIN.....bloomin things were showing as out of stock again when I checked out...and I was so quick!!
I'm supposed to be getting an email when they were in stock, but that never came.
Oh well....I'll keep trying....I had the same problem with the green bath sheets last time....but got some in the end!

Keep warm everyone!!

Oldbear you are not alone!!! Mine was all US stuff today, was just a case of guessing! I didnt guess very well today!lol Its the questions that aren't even written as questions that get me. They're more of a statement that you have to find the relevant answer for but when you dont have a clue about the topic/context then I end up re-reading them 3x & still guessing!!lol
Love clicking the compare my result button tho!!!

Me and you must get everyones share of obscure american questions I just keep telling myself i'm not that thick :rotfl::rotfl:

I would like to suggest sports as a topic but fear it would be basketball, american football, rounders and ice hockey. We need to find a subject caz and others are not good at

:j:j:j:j 10 days well done. :beer::beer:
