Oh no, not a quiz Anna....I'm hopeless at quizzes and all things guessing ......extremely and utterly uneducated you see.
Bit of a dummy of a dunce of the First Order.
Spent my youth skipping school and frequenting smelly smoky smoke filled Billiard Halls, smoking cigarettes, chasing wild women and buying the old cheap Lanliq wine.
I think it's called Buckfast nowadays. Two sips and yer off yer head.

What a load of tosh, I'm simply the thickest of the thick.

Although you won't need it...... good luck and best wishes for your new thread. :thumbup:

As Michael Caine was fond of saying..."Not a lot people know that"

On further investigation I discovered, dear old Michael did not actually utter those immortal words
'Peter Sellers started the whole thing off when he appeared on BBC TV's Parkinson show on 28 October 1972

What a clever little fellow I be.

Sigh, you just cannot knock the intelligentsia.
