Quiz 386

Sorry for the late update, this is because when I got home on Thursday night I got talking to friends on the net and before I new it, it was 5am. When I managed to crawl out of bed on Friday I felt like crap so I didn't get anything done. I'd like to apologise for giving the wrong answer to one of the songs on the music tape, the correct answer was of course Unit Four + Two - Concrete And Clay. Fortunately, it didn't effect the outcome which leads nicely to the winning scores. The Alliance were our winners with 90pts, those lovely ladies of The Dimwits were second with 82pts and CJD were third with 79pts. Now an update about the council plus the email from Bill that he has kindly allowed me to publish, I just hope none of the councilors see it. I went to pay my Council Tax yesterday - hangover and all - and found that the payments section closes early, in fact, its hardly ever open. There is this machine where type in your account number and pay in. With the help of a polite young lady who was there to pay her rent I managed to sort it out. I was told that the payments section is not open so long anymore to "save money and encourage (for encourage read bully) people to pay by Direct Debit". This does mean however, that rely on banks. This is bad for 3 reasons: 1. All banks are robbing bastards. 2. Direct debit is not convenient for everybody and querying them is sometimes problematic. 3. All banks are robbing bastards. And now Bill's infamous email.

I totally agree - all councillors are useless w*****s. It beats me why anybody votes for any of these t*****s. They are only in it for themselves and do not give a f**k for those they pretend to represent.

You can tell I voted "None of the above" at the last election can't you (in Bolehall I didn't have the chance to vote for the official "Monster Raving Loony Party" - there was only those Labour and Tory b******s listed on the ballot paper!!!!!!!!!).

Yes its a rant from Bill from the Alliance!!!!!!!!

I think the asterisk symbol has been worn off his keyboard.

Joke Of The Day:

One evening a man was at home watching TV and eating peanuts. He'd toss them in the air, then catch them in his mouth. In the middle of catching one, his wife asked a question, and as he turned to answer her, a peanut fell in his ear. He tried and tried to dig it out but only succeeded in pushing it in deeper. He asked his wife for assistance, and after hours of trying they became worried and decided to go to hospital. As they were ready to go out the door, their daughter came home with her date. After being informed of the problem, their daughter's date said he could get the peanut out. The young man told the father to sit down, then shoved two fingers up the father's nose and told him to blow hard. When the father blew, the peanut flew out. The mother and daughter jumped and yelled for joy. The young man insisted that it was nothing and the daughter brought the young man out to the kitchen for something to eat. Once he was gone the mother turned to the father and said, "That's wonderful. Isn't he smart? What do you think he's going to be when he grows older?!" The father replies "From the smell of his fingers, our son in-law!"
