Last night's quiz was hard work. You get a bit of pussy in the room and some blokes just turn into complete eejits. Anyway, let's see, who won? The Magic Numbers (Happy birthday Andy) with 97pts. The Alliance were second on 94 pts and VCJD or new variant CJD made up the top 3 with 91 pts. Now my PC is almost back to normal I am going to bring all my files up to date over the weekend before I even consider next week's quiz. Contact me as usual by posting a comment on this blog or email me at: quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk Now I'm going to BonDs to drink copious amounts of fermented vegetable products.

Joke of the Day
A city slicker shoots a duck out in the country. As he's retrieving it, a farmer walks up and stops him, claiming that since the duck is on his farm, it technically belongs to him. After minutes of arguing, the farmer proposesthey settle the matter "country style."
"What's country style?" asks the city boy.
"Out here in the country," the farmer says, "when two blokes have a dispute, one bloke kicks the other one in the bollocks as hard as he can. Then that bloke, why, he kicks the first one as hard as he can. And so forth. Last man standin' wins the dispute.
Warily the city boy agrees and prepares himself. The farmer kicks him in the groin with all his might. The city boy falls to the ground in the most intense pain he's ever felt, crying like a baby and spluttering. Finally he staggers to his feet and says, "Alright, n-now it's m-my turn."
The farmer grins. "Oh, hell, you win. Keep the duck."
