Thanks FF, yes it's all coming back now, all the memory needed was a little push.

Being male, when I think of No. 96 one name comes to mind, "Abigail."

I got 16.  I blame living in far North Qld as a kid.  We never got some of those TV programs.   We only got hot and cold running water and electric light in recent  years. 

I had to carry a horse five miles to school every day.........couldn't afford horse shoes....had to chop five cows and milk the woodpile before breakfast.....blah blah blah whinge whinge etc etc etc.

I got 18 - jumped in on the first one & put "Way" - Forgot rule # 1 - Read ALL the answers first...
When you get to my age, you have to be very, very selective about what information you remember, as for every new fact you put in, something falls out the back.... Now WHAT was the question?????
