Thank you both for the kind comments. I do take lots of photos, but only on days when I am out sightseeing rather than walking. However, experience has shown me that my camera (Canon Ixus) is not good for taking photos of views when I want the distant background to feature - the lens is probably too basic. It's fine for shots of people, gardens, castles, etc, but not panoramas.

I went to a Film Quiz yesterday and have come to the sad realization that despite having thought I knew a thing or two about films, I actually know NOTHING compared to a lot of freaks out there. One of the answers for said quiz was "Rudolf Klein-Rogge" and even worse, they were deducting points for misspelling ! I've learnt a valuable lesson and I'm sticking to my usual quizzes from now on where I can at least place in the top three. I dread to think where we placed yesterday and didn't hang about to find out :oops: I might bring along a copy of the quiz to the next FMUK shin dig and see how everyone else would have fared.

I know that the Picturehouse Greenwich do a film quiz every month - you can win cinema tickets but I haven't dared join a team yet for that exact reason so I know what you mean!

Must be a Picturehouse tradition; this was at Harbour Lights. It was beyond esoteric. I half expected a handful of people and arrived in a packed bar space explained by the pretty enormous £84 first prize and ticket giveaways. I might try the Greenwich one and compare them. It might be slightly more accessible for my trashier quality of knowledge :cross:

Great, a guinea pig! Let me know how it goes at Greenwich, if it's accessible, might join you some time.

Guinea pig ? Well, I think of myself more as a chinchilla but anyhoo you shall know me by my calm temperament and ability to access small spaces, not my furry ears.
