Comments:Mongrel Dutch-German-Indonesian-French Kiwi, but New Zealand threw me out, so I wound up in England. Balding, bespectacled, wrong side of 40 (just how wrong is for me to know and you not to find out!). Intellectual omnivore. Redeeming features: wife & 2 kids. Interests in reverse order of embarrassment: making a fool of myself in public; eating chocolate; classical music (especially Wagner); eating chocolate cake; social, cultural and military history; eating cream cake; literature (especially Jane Austen, at the moment); eating liqueur chocolates; anything else that could remotely be classed as intellectually interesting and is within my .000004 watt brainpower; watching movies while eating or drinking anything vaguely chocolaty; sleeping. Don't wake me up.

1 Lexicological Grandiloquence
I love Big Words. REALLY Big Words! And sentences so tortuous the Mission Impossible team would get stuck in them. Never mind the answers - good luck just understanding the questions!

I've tried to make these entertaining, so even if you don't have a clue who F-F-F-Fawlty is - enjoy! (If you're an afficionado and you want a challenge, forget every time you've seen the series except the first one.)

7 Jane Austen: Minor Works
If you don't know this stuff - CHEAT FIRST at places like http://home.earthlink.net/~lfdean/austen/juvenilia. You won't be sorry - it's a scream, quite unlike her mature works.

10 F-F-F-"Fawlty Towers" - and Beyond!
This quiz uses tangential general knowledge references in all twelve 'FT' episodes. So you actually need to know everything that existed or happened - ever! (Enjoy the occasional "Blackadder" reference.)
