If there is enough People intrested in playing a regular quiz, Jaime will make a place on the forum for us, but there really does need to be quite a few to make it worth his while.
We tried a quiz last year and it was a brilliant laugh, we had teams that used MSN, each team had a Captain... I was crying with laughing it was that much fun :y
