More difficult?! I couldnt even get more than one of these ones!! I reckon everyone cheats and uses Google anyway, its the only theory I have that so many people can have such a vast amount of random knowledge!

As my Mrs says, I am a fountain of useless & pointless trivia! Shame I don't contribute anything practical, blah, blah, blah!
