This is my 3rd attempt at replying. My machine crashed on the first two, losing quite a lot of what I'd written. So here goes again but probaly much shorter this time.

Mr Scathe and Steve,

Of course, seek knowledge anywhere including the internet. I simply thought that in a 'quiz-type situation' it sort of defeats the object if the answers do not come from within.

You're quite right about the number of fora, Steve. I'm kicking myself for that one. As for the plural, I'm taking forum to be a latin, neuter noun and so the plural form would be fora. Of course, you could argue that forum has become an English word and so the plural is simply forums. At least one dictionary gives both fora and forums as the plural. Perhaps you could check this out on the internet, Dreadful Scathe? Anyway, I appreciate all your comments, Steve. (which I've just realised I haven't fully commented upon on this attempt. Ah well.

Lou,

You don't need to defend your love of pop music at all, although if mulled wine is on offer then I'll happily listen to your defence... You can listen to pop, people that like wizard music can listen to wizard music and I can listen to all the music that I like to listen to.
