Don't feel bad: I only got 26 out of 38. I feel *really* badly about
missing the Shakespeare question (fast reading and overconfidence <sigh>-
didn't see that key word, *tradgedies*) and sort of silly for mixing up
the Battle of Hastings, but since looking at the answers I kept thinking
something like,
1) What is the East End and why is some pub there important?
2) What the hell is the Euro 2000 final?
3) Who is: Lara Croft, Eminem, or Anthea Turner? Why are they important?
Why should I care?
I figured I got something of a curve for not being a Brit. <grin>
