….a TiBB game/quiz without controversy would be ….well, jolly well unthinkable…

…ok, I think what I’ll do is reveal the answers over a few posts because there are so many to do in one long post, which would be impossible to navigate on small screens…so I’ll just post sections at a time…and thank you all for giving the time to do this..I didn’t want it to be too short because it was just one round …but I think maybe it was quite daunting in the end…so I really do appreciate the time you all took……and 15 members completed the quiz so that’s pretty good, eh…
