Only two PMs, but I knew the quiz was going to be very difficult. Perhaps I made it just a little too hard
Muniuni managed to get 17 right out of 25, a very creditable performance. Round of applause.
The second entrant JayS merely realised there must be a quiz, but couldn’t figure out what it was. So nice try, but no coconut.
MattSmith caused me to grin by saying that “it doesn’t have a quiz” in the thread. Sorry Matt, also “nil point”. 
So the clues:
I described having a devious weird mind, with an odd sense of humour, and then mused about writing a quiz and not telling anyone about it. This was intended to suggest that there was certain to be a quiz.
Then “no-one would get 25/25 right” so are you looking for 25 answers? yes you are.
later: “Nothing huge but much bigger than the gudgeon would ever become. There will surely be other species to identify, if I look hard enough”. So you are looking for 25 fish names. All of which happen to be species of freshwater fish to be found in British rivers and lakes.
I hid the names of 25 species of fish to be found in British freshwater in the text. An example: an obnoxious tickle back of my throat. I won’t give all the answers , for some of you might still want to look, now that you know what to look for.
