Quiz 384 (Wacky Mix)

Okay, let's try again. I just tried to type out the blog and got down to the answers to last night's pictures when I in avertedly deleted the whole lot (eejit). Last night's quiz was a quiet affair with only five teams taking part. However, it was very enjoyable and extremely close at the finish. In fact only 6 points separated first from last place. CJD and The Dimwits shared the spoils coming top with 90pts each and The Alliance who were without Margaret's wisdom for the second week running were third for the second week running albeit just a single point behind on 89.

This weekend I am in the unenviable position of having everything to do. I have absolutely nothing pre-prepared, no music tape, guest round, nothing. I just have my blank template so I'm going to have to get cracking tonight (going to Bond's for a medicinal sherry in a while).

Last night's pictures (this is where it went tits up earlier) were: 1. Terry Wogan 2. Dawn French 3. Jonathon Edwards 4. Drew Barrymore 5. Sid Vicious 6. Russell Brand 7. Jessica Alba 8. Paris Hilton 9. Carlos Tevez 10. Vivien Leigh

Joke Of The Day:

Note this is an exact replication of National Public Radio interview between a female broadcaster and US Army General Reinwald, who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your post?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers !

GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one ... are you?
