Addendum: Doctor who?

Lets see how i do at the triva questions

  • Knackered - torn up, messed up
  • Queue - a line
  • Quid - a pound (as in currency)
  • Slag - waste product
  • Wanker - general insult referring to a “self pleaser” 
  • pants v trousers - no clue
  • i love the Beatles
  • ID this person - looks like maybe a young Steven Fry
  • Doctor Who - no his name is The Doctor

IF some one who is British could check this for me i would love to know how I did. 

Hmm, well let’s see… *retrieves red pen*

Fortnight: two weeks. 0 points

Queue: you are correct! 1 point
Quid: Correct again! 1 point
Slag: Actually I think that’s what it originally was, but I’ve only ever heard it used as a slightly milder version of ‘slut’. So if you actually come to Britain don’t use it! 1/2 point
