    Hi guys,

    Sorry for my absence over the last few days; I've been providing solace to man and beast during the cold snap.

    I'll try to get a quiz published later this afternoon or early this evening.

    Bye.

    P.S) Just secured tickets for The Rolling Stones' gig at the London Stadium on 25th May. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    1) I was born in Kent during the 1930s; I did my national service in Egypt and reached the rank of lieutenant
    2) In my early 20s, I wrote jingles for radio and also formed a calypso group, which toured the US and Canada; I achieved one UK Chart hit, reaching No37 in the mid-60s
    3) I appeared in over 30 films and even starred alongside Rock Hudson in one of them; I later gained a reputation as a radio wit and after-dinner speaker
    4) I had to pay substantial damages for my part in a fatal car crash; I died in 2015 after a long illness

    1) I was born in the USA during the late 19th century; my father was a wealthy industrialist of Irish descent
    2) My first husband, a physician, died just five months after our marriage; I often played host to Michael Collins’ Irish delegations
    3) Although an artist in my own right, I am perhaps best known for my image being portrayed on banknotes and my second husband’s works; I became a Lady after my husband’s knighthood
    4) I am famed for my correspondence with many notable figures, including Shaw, Belloc, and Churchill; I passed away on New Year’s Day during the 1930s

    1) I was born in South Africa during the late 1940s; my family and I moved to Manchester just after my first birthday
    2) My P.E teacher at secondary school spotted my prowess for athletics and soon had me competing at national and inter-counties championships; as a teenager, I worked in an office between training sessions
    3) I won a silver medal at my first Olympic games, in Mexico City, losing out on gold by just 0.09 seconds; two years later, I received an MBE for services to sport
    4) I was in my early twenties when I received a diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease, yet later tests revealed terminal cancer; I passed away in Germany during the early 1970s

    Shazamo! Nice going, Mega M-Man. <magic> :emoticon-0157-sun: :emoticon-0165-muscl :emoticon-0171-star: <ok> <applause> That must be a Who Am I? record, eh?

    You win this superb Testicular Self-Exam sheet. Perhaps you could stick it on the fridge or dresser. Enjoy!

    Thanks very much, but that is Patience's job to check hers and mine! No, it isn't a record, I did one in 8 minutes last year <ok> (the quiz I mean, not the ball exam)
