There is still a bit to do before this week's quiz is ready. The music tape needs another two songs, I haven't got the pictures ready for printing, I haven't even started the guest round which this week is a tape of ten TV theme tunes and I also need to find another twenty questions. I'm going to have a good go at it today and see what is left to do on Tuesday, Wednesday and if needs be Thursday afternoon. Finally, thanks to Viv of CJD for the Email. Anybody who wishes to contact me for any reason my address is quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk or you can leave a comment on this site.

Joke Of The Day: Got Balls...

A man boards an airliner, takes his seat, and is surprised to find a large purple parrot in the seat next to him.

The aircraft takes off and a pretty flight attendant walks down the aisle past the man and his seat mate.

"Hey, bitch, "says the parrot, "bring me a whiskey and soda, and make it snappy!"

The FA looks annoyed, but walks on. A minute later, she walks back up the aisle, and the parrot pipes up again:"Goddammit, you lazy whore, where's my whiskey? Hurry it up!

" Visibly flustered, the FA hurries up the aisle and returns quickly with the parrot's drink.

Impressed with the parrot's technique, the man decides to get some quick service for himself.

"Hey, slut, " says the man, "get me a dry martini. And don't drag your sorry ass - I want it right now! "

The FA turns red with anger and runs to the front of the plane. In a moment she returns with the First Officer and two burly male flight attendants.

The crewmen seize the passenger and the parrot, jerk open the emergency door, and hurl them both out of the airplane at 20, 000 feet.

As the two hurtle out the door, the parrot says to the man, "Ya know, for someone who can't fly, you got a lotta balls."
