unfortunately, got ragged by the IIMB panelists on psmith's philosophy in life !!!!
oh well, that's life.

as psmith would say, i confused the unlikely with the impossible.

A thread after my own heart... Abso adore PGW
I think "Laughing Gas" is the absolute best though - the one in which the souls of an English aristocrat and a 11-year old Hollywood star get switched...
Maybe we should start off quizzing on PGW trivia...?
I'll start off with some sitters for all Bertie fans out there:
What is Bingo Little's first name??
What's his wife's name and what does she do?

Toodle-oo

Don't remember the name, but it's the 1 where Bertie is made to address a girls' school. It is absolutely hilarious, the way Jeeves narrates while mentioning that Bertie is "mentally negligible".. I was ROTFLMAO throughtout.....

Now how about this....
1. How many people has Florence Craye been engaged to? (excluding her multiple engagements with Bertie)
2. Who does Stilton get engaged to after breaking off with Florence Craye?
