Well, mainly A) it's probably the biggest chance of me messing up an exam badly enough to not get an A and B) there was quite a lot of content and I hadn't appreciated just how much until about a week beforehand, plus computer issues meant I had to re-translate bits, plus C) it's a pig to translate in a way that's both reasonable and accurate.

Basically, the other ones are easier, shorter and I do not like long exams at all.

I don't agree with BNP or UKIP but I am in favour of Independence to a degree.  That has nothing to do with immigration though.  Hence my distaste for the right-wing independence parties.

We're lucky though, as we don't use the Euro.  However, we do opt-out of the European Work Directive.  So it's a mixed thing for me.  There are a lot of excellent EU policies.

Can it not wait 'til the weekend, Alex?  I like the week's gap between quizzes.

Would everyone rather it wait? I can work on it but always postpone posting it.

If I did post it early though, I'd give you guys extra time if you couldn't get around to it, since it would be up early.

Oh I'm always here, you know that.

However, I am thinking of others.  I'm a nice and considerate guy, after all. Wink

Gah, people who use Wordart for posters annoy me a lot. LOL  They look really crap.

Nearly everyone took the 6th one within 48 hours of me posting it (excluding Pekka, who's away; and my dad, who will take it later today probably), and now that a few people have been weeded out... I don't see the harm in putting up another quiz.

I'd still give everyone enough time to do each one and wouldn't post any others until people were ready. Smile

If anyone would prefer me to wait though, just let me know.

Anyway, I'm kind of with James on this one. I'd prefer to wait until the weekend. Although you can feel free to make as many quizzes as you want until then. Smile

Edit: Well if pretty much everyone's already taken it, then I don't see much of a need to wait. Although I'll leave it up to what anyone else says about it. I'll be happy either way.

I think 10 or 15 question mini-quizzes should be in the week, whilst full length 20 question ones should be at weekends.

However, I'm really not fussed.  I know what the subject matter is though and maybe that's why I'm delaying it.  I don't want to be the first to do it.  I want to see how everyone else does first. LOL

Yeah, I mean... I was going to stick to the weekly schedule, but since everyone took the post-rock one so quickly, what's the use in making people wait another 5 or 6 days?

You'll do well, regardless of whether you go first or last.

I reserve the right to laugh at you if you don't finish in the top 5 then. Tongue

I have no idea why I haven't listened to this Guapo album I've had for awhile before now. It makes me feel like I'm going to trip out while the world is ending. But in a good way. Big smile
