That's all well and good, but where's our quiz?

Thanks for Marilyn, Adolf, I for one have never forgotten her. They don't make em like her anymore.

@ Allan,
The drunk, descending not recovering, responsible for the task sometimes just isn't able to perform, today was such an occasion.
Assistance with material is very necessary as my camera travels less and much of my older stuff is on 35 mm as slides.
So ideas on getting it to digital would be useful
Family snaps that I have many are rather unsuitable material although had I foreseen what KYC required collection of pics could have been instituted earlier.

Apologies for the off topic but thought Allan deserved a reply.

@ Baxter plus one

I was a bit sceptical about the Olympics and still have some doubts but look at it this way, We are third in the table, only USA and China have more medals when you compare the population and sporting infrastucture of those countries, it's quite an achievement, I'm actually pleased to see us doing so well simply because it annoys the kiwi ACT troll blogger, amazing how someone as unfit as him is such an authority on WINNERS, why are non achievers like him so envious of people who make something of their lives? If you compete at the top level then you are amongst the elite, if you win any medal you have done something that very few people ever will, this unsporting loser is consumed by envy and knows he is a poor physical specimen.
