Late again I know. Well, it was the bank holiday and I was out all day enjoying the sun and didn't get home until 8:30 last night. In fact, I was so tired I think I was in bed for 9pm. Didn't do any quiz work yesterday so I find myself on Tuesday lunchtime with just over two days to go with still the Music Tape, Picture Round, a Tempus Fugit question and 22 questions to find. The Books and Authors Guest Round is done however and ready for printing.

Joke of the Day.

Two tourists were driving through Wales. As they came to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter one tourist asked the assistant: "Before we order, can you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronouce where we are... very slowly?" The spotty youth leaned over the counter and said: "Burrrrrrrrr gerrrrrrrrrr Kiiiiiiiiing."
