Every Sunday morning, we discover the Heaven Is A Place On Earth, when the answers to Saturday Snapshots are finally revealed. And I Get Weak when I think about how much hard work you guys put into solving these clues. Sometimes I have an idea which are the hardest ones to guess, but if you'd asked me yesterday I'd have told you that was probably #7 this week... and yet Walter was first in with that yesterday. So what do I know?
I find it increasingly hard to add up the points for this every week, but I'm pretty sure yesterday was a 3-points-each draw between Lynchie & C. I'm sure Lynchie will tell me if I'm wrong. Thank you all for playing, as always.

Live Your Life Be Free until next Saturday morning when Saturday Snapshots returns.
Winning's not important to me. Just taking part in the Saturday Snapshots quiz is enough, so whether or not you were wrong not to award me 1st place for this week's quiz is immaterial and you shouldn't worry your pretty little head about it.
ReplyDeleteHave you fully recovered from illness? It doesn't seem to have affected your ability to set tough poptastic quizzes.
Still snotty, but recovering, thanks.
DeleteReally enjoyed Julianne Regan's vocal on Martha's Harbour, I included the track in my latest post. Got me interested in exploring the album.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rol for another great one as ever. As FBCB says, it's not about winning, but certainly gets the adrenalin going as I try desperately to type in one of the answers I might actually know and hurriedly press publish realising that another one of us is likely doing the same thing at the same time... Fingers on buzzers!
