QUIZ TIME IN UDON

[tamada]

I'm about done here with being harangued about Google. I'm going back to Doodoo's far less pretentious, more worldly and less esoteric"Yes it really happened" thread where nobody really gives a toss (unless it's the clever clogs' who suggest that those copying and pasting unedited and unattributed stuff should have been tried at Nuremberg).

Why bother, If it was something that would have enhanced my life over the last 70 yrs I'm sure I'd have acquired the knowledge earlier. I've managed to survive until now without knowing so I'm sure I'll get through the last few months/years in blissfull ignorance without the help of google filling my limited brainspace with useless information I have no need for

Just an update, statts - although I recognize it may be too late.

Brain space can never be limited, and information is never useless. In fact, it can be most enlightening.

[stattointhailand]

Yes, of course, and well done you for giving my quiz questions a go. It's not for everyone and some people's abilities are best suited to searching Google for the answers.
