This will probably be of more interest to the Aussies on the site but if you tune into Temptation on Thursday November 1 you'll see me as a contestant on the show.
I'm not allowed to say how I went until after it has been screened (or they might keep any prizes I win) so I'll have to go against my normal tell-all impulses.  |

Final margin - I went down by 4 points.
Still all the cash and prizes won't go astray. 
I watched those three episodes a couple of nights ago, courtesy of a DVD from foxy. 
I was able to skip all the promo stuff (which is why I hate watching such shows), but watched everything with Conan in it. Man, you were quick! I thought most of the questions were reasonably easy, but speed is everything, which is something I don't possess.  I think I would've sucked big time on it, but probably beaten the crap out of you on the vault. 
But, I've got one question (you probably don't want to hear this one, sorry!  ). If you were asked to spell "Callas", how would you have spelled it? Correctly? Or did you think her surname was "Calais"? |

But the exciting news is that my dear wife & I head off tomorrow for 5 nights in Byron Bay at this resort. It'll be an early celebration for our 20th wedding anniversary in June. The girls are being farmed out to grandparents.
If this doesn't get me relaxed before school starts at the end of the month, nothing will.
Wow! Conan and Mrs Conan ... that resort looks temptation indeed! I hope you both have a fab time and return in relaxed bliss!
Enjoy! You deserve it!

Well I would have answered "Errrmmmm.... ahhhhh.... pass!"
Nice work mate, at least you took some presents home anyway. |

Each correct answer is worth 5 points; each incorrect removes 5 points from your score.

Yep, same here, the group is for Aussies only. 
I've asked the Administrator to alter the setting - I want all the support I can get. |
