Unless they've changed the way things work, I didn't think you could bring alcohol in, and they didn't provide it.

A pity that she would go out on a "money" question.

Hmmm? Are WWII-era state secrets blocked on your computer? It's Manhattan Project.

As does License to Kill with Dalton as Bond, Die Another Day and possibly Tomorrow Never Dies with Brosnan as Bond which are even more recent.

Another delightfully weak effort from a quasi weewee. That she gets almost 22K for knowing 4 simple questions out of 8 is I suppose a benefit of the new format of the game that used to be BAM.

That's what Meredith keeps saying.

And I think that this, more than anything else, is what I dislike about the new format. Like it or not, under the old system a person had to work for the big money - now it's just a matter of luck.

That is all.
