First it was Norman Darlington, then it was Kim Johnson, and now it’s me! This is the amazingly self-centered activity of writing a quiz about oneself, and wondering if anyone is remotely interested in knowing any of the answers! You won’t know them all, but you might like to make guesses and see if you’re right, based on what I might have let slip in my various Virily posts.

According to this quiz I got 6 correct. Interesting quiz!
3/12, and frankly I just guessed. I’m new here so haven’t had a chance to get to know you or your work yet. Great quiz.
I got 3 correct…it’s fun when those on Virily create a quiz about themself…because you learn more about them if you didn’t already know it!
You got 10 out of 12 right!
Great
This is worrying – are you my long lost twin brother?!!!

Phew! At least I can retain some secrets!
You got 3 out of 12 right!
