Goodonya, mate. I have started compiling a 500 question movies quiz book that should be published later this year. By then you’ll be a gun!
IMPORTANT NOTE!!! This response is directed to my mate Max who tried to contact me via the ‘feedback’ section. To Max and anyone else who uses that section, it does not have the capacity that allows me to reply there, so please use the ‘comments’ section instead. I will always respond, but I am unable to do so in the ‘feedback section. Many thanks. Hang in there, Max. I’m thinking of you, mate.
