I got sick of losing when I didn't forget to play. Then I got sick of forgetting.

I find that now that I have discounted the efforts of Calvin, Jack and Malc (by holding up a little piece of paper at the top of the winners list to obliterate the names) I am much happier; my self esteem has rebounded and I am sleeping a lot better at night.

Diane, I don't know if this will help you to sleep any better, but think of yourself as being a winner anyway, for appearing on the winner's list. Whether in first place, or way down at the bottom... that way it's a lot less pressure. Slightly less competitive, but hey. I'm still a winner from the last time I appeared on the list.

I do remember being number one a while back, but I won't mention that whilst I'm talking about everything being equal.

I've figured out where I'm going wrong. I am first to post on the competition, which allows the evil Calvin to wait until he sees my score, then he can assess how to approach his session. i.e. if he sees the highest scorer only has 9 points (or 8), he can relax a little more, knowing he can take a valuable extra couple of seconds to answer tricky questions.

Yes, that's it. Evil Calvin, smoking his long cheroot, in his darkened room, surrounded by TV monitors showing the different chambers in his underground bunker, stroking his fluffy cat, sits waiting....waiting.

So I'm posting last from now on.

Calvin's doing it again.

Bloody Calvin.

I clicked on 'Play Today's Game' and a white screen came up which stayed on for ages, but no questions appeared. They turned up about 80 secs later, otherwise I would have beaten everyone, except for the fact I only got nine right.

I know we've still got a day to play, but congratulations Calvin.

May as well say Congratulations for April too, while I'm here.

Don't you just love it when you start the quiz, the credit rating window pops up (wasting precious seconds in closing the same), only to be disturbed by a phone call.  Oops, as I am at work and should be preparing my stuff for the trip to sunny Brussels next week, perhaps I should not do the quiz in work time.
Anyway, as my time was shot, and I stand little chance of beating the likes of Calvin, etc, I pressed buttons at random - and got 6 right.  My aim must be improving, as the last time I tried that I only got 2 right.

Well done Calvin for March. But beware. I'm about to begin my campaign for April. Read 'em and weep, buddy.
