X_JELLYFISH_X Learning the ropes... Registered: Sun Mar 08 2015 Posts: 4 Loc: Yorkshire UK	Hi everyone, I've been on the full site for around a month now, although I have played in a local private tournament for a number of years. Absolutely love all the games on the site and I'm looking forward to authoring some quizzes after getting my first one published earlier this week. The talent shown on this site whether it be from badges, challenges or quizzes is astounding! I hope to contribute on here from time to time Jelly x _________________________ "I run six-to-eight miles a day, plus weights and aerobics in the lunch hour. I also lie a lot, which keeps me thin."

Ask a historian specialising in British History, because those annuls are, in effect, very deep and unreliable. _________________________ Wandering aimlessly through FT since 1999.
