Think you’ve got the measure of me? Think this blog has become a predictable and tedious business of tech, law, politics and the spilling of the old secrets of Brighton? Here’s your chance to find out. As regular readers will know, I’m least read on a Saturday so I’m indulging myself by offering my most loyal fans a quiz… all about me! Here’s twenty questions, some of them easy, some of the hard with multiple choice answers. It should take about five minutes, unless you’re… erm, y’know, slow. You’ll get a percentage at the end. Post your results in the comments thread and we’ll all find out what whether I’ve still got surprises up my sleeve or whether I’m the Warren Morgan of blogosphere – tiresome, repetitive and tedious.
