Monday 20 August 2007



There I was searching the internet for some celebrities to put into this week's Picture Round when I got a 'ping'. It was an email from Viv from VCJD entitled 'huh'. I'm not going to divulge its contacts, suffice to say people shouldn't try and second guess what I'm going to put in the quiz. Hehehehehe. Thanks for the message anyway Viv and reminding me that I hadn't published today's post. D'oh! This week's quiz is progressing well, I managed to compile the music tape in about thirty minutes yesterday afternoon and the guest round (Trackword) was typed out and ready for printing before lunchtime yesterday. As I said at the beginning I still have the pictures to do and about 20 questions. Hope to see all of you on Thursday.

Joke of the Day Selling the Green Suit...

A man who isn't qualified keeps pestering this tailor about giving him a job selling suits. Finally, the owner tells him if he can sell this one green suit he will give him a job.

Another employee points out to owner that they have had that suit on the rack for four years, and that it is such an ugly, green suit that nobody would ever buy it.The owner replies,

"Yah, I know. That's my way of getting rid of that pest!

"Two hours later the new guy calls his boss for his next assignment.The owner cannot believe it and heads down to the store to see how this fellow did it. Upon arrival he sees his new salesman bleeding, scratched, and his clothes torn in several places, but smiling.

"Congratulations, the job is yours! Nobody has come close to selling that old, ugly, green suit.But tell me, what in the world happened to you?"

"Well, replied the salesman, the guy that bought the suit loved it... said it fit him great.

As far as my injuries go, he had this really sensitive seeing-eye dog!"
