I think we've got a case of inflation going on hereabouts. I've just reread the rules way back in post 1. It states that the contestant who gets the fifth question right gets a GLASS of , and not a general distribution of unlimited to all and sundry. I will check up on the supplies situation, and may well reinforce the rules once again.
ANyway, to business...

Best I can do is 'Terry' - apparently her best known track.

Bit slow there Justin...

GreyDesk Posted Jan 27, 2003
It is Terry 
Her best known track? As far as I was aware it was her onle known track 
As for loading speeds, I think that is a valid point. It's getting a bit slow for me and I'm on an ADSL connection, so lordy knows what it is like for the poor saps on dialup. Perhaps they've given up and gone away 
What I propose to do is set up a second thread this evening 
And now Q2: Which country's language gave us the word "anorak"?
