Oh God, I'm so lazy! Didn't know about it until today! It's a pretty interesting game :) Sent my answers to Jen, although I don't think I did very well trying to read other people minds :laugh3:

Just sent my "answers" - just a random collection of words really. Really struggled with the Online haters & people who wouldn't be caught dead at a concert...

 

I'm just a very positive person and tend to ignore any anti-Coldplay stuff :laugh3:

 

If there was a wooden spoon award, I think I'd be in with a chance!

yeah, i had a really hard time with the anti-coldplay ones too, i really reached for those. but i hope everyone else did too :P

^ :lol:, I entered like a week ago ;), I think I've done alright but struggled on some and put some ABSOLUTELY RANDOM answers :lol:

:dance:, We should be getting the results soon! :D :dance:

YAY!!

Where are the results? :bigcry:

Should be coming soon ;) I think it takes some time to count and check everything :)

nah! :lol: counting & checking was done on Excel as we went along. :D I had a lovely big dinner to eat at my Mum's house first :P
