We managed to scrape four teams together at The Albert last Night for the Christmas quiz It was an enjoyable night and everyone enjoyed the free chocolates (especially Jane of VCJD.) I staggered home afterwards only to stop into The New Mayflower Chinese takeaway in Church Street for my free 2008 calendar and some extremely tasty chicken wings in Peking sauce. In a very close contest, our Christmas winners were VCJD with 80 points, The Magic Numbers (welcome back) were second a point behind on 79 and The Alliance came in third a point behind that on 78. A special mention has to go to fourth placed Brick thumbies who I bullied to enter the quiz and scored 60. Thanks guys. Good luck to Gareth who is presenting his quiz tonight and May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas and I hope to see you all next Thursday stuffed full of turkey and stuffing (oooooh matron!) quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk if you wish to contact me and I'll update again on Christmas Eve after I've finished taking charge of Bond's Christmas top up order from 7am brrrrrrrrr.

Joke Of The Day:The Russian Genie...

A Russian is strolling down the street in Moscow and kicks a bottle laying in the street. Suddenly out of the bottle comes a genie.
The Russian is stunned and the Genie says, "Hello Master, I will grant you one wish, anything that you want."
The Russian begins thinking, "Well I really like drinking vodka." Finally the Russian says, "I wish to drink vodka whenever I want, so make me piss vodka."
The Genie grants him his wish. When the Russian gets home he gets a glass out of the cupboard and pisses into it. He looks at the glass and it's clear. Looks like vodka. Then he smells the liquid. Smells like vodka. So he takes a test and it is the best vodka that he has ever tasted.
The Russian yells to his wife, "Natasha, Natasha, come quickly."
She comes running down the hall and the Russian takes another glass out of the cupboard and pisses into it. He tells her to drink, that it is vodka. Natasha is reluctant but goes ahead and takes a sip. It is the best vodka that she has ever tasted. The two drink and party all night.
The next night the Russian comes home from work and tells his wife to get two glasses out of the cupboard. He proceeds to piss in the two glasses. The result is the same, the vodka is excellent and the couple drink until the sun comes up.
Finally, Friday night comes and the Russian tells his wife to grab one glass from the cupboard and we will drink vodka.
She gets the glass but asks him "Boris, why do we only need one glass?" Boris raises the glass and says, "Because tonight my love, you drink from the bottle."
