I hope you are all enjoying the Bank Holiday, I'm stuck inside today but at least there is plnty I can be doing for this Thursday's quiz. I need eighteen more questions and I also need to prepare the Faces round. Yesterday I compiled the music tape but have to say it is not my best. This week's guest round is also ready for printing, I have a Trackword for you on Thursday. As for the Leprechaun's Pot 'O' Gold, I got my sums wrong on Friday, As you know it is the last quiz of the month so whoever is closest gets whatever it contains. at the end of the night. The pot currently holds £33.50 so that plus whatever is collected on Thursday is up for grabs. At least I don't have a problem with a question, it was the first thing I typed out last Friday. Enjoy the rest of the day and I'll see you at The Albert on Thursday.

Joke of the Day (Thanks Hancock)
Bill and Tom are two Irishmen working at the local sawmill. One day Bill slips and his arm gets caught and severed by the big bench saw. Tom quickly puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Bill to the local hospital.
Next day, Tom goes to the hospital and asks after Bill. The nurse says, 'Oh he's out in Rehab exercising'. Tom couldn't believe it, but here's Bill out the back exercising his now reattached arm. The very next day he's back at work in the saw mill.
Couple of days go by, and then Bill slips and severs his leg on another bloody big saw thing. So Tom puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Bill off to hospital.
Next day he calls in to see him and asks the nurse how he is.
The nurse replies, 'He's out in the Rehab again exercising. And sure enough, here's Bill out there doing some serious work on the treadmill.
And Bill comes back to work.
But, as usual, within a couple of days he has another accident and severs his head. Wearily Tom puts the head in a plastic bag and transports it and Bill to hospital.
Next day he goes in and asks the nurse how Bill is. The nurse breaks down and cries and says, 'He's dead.'
Tom is shocked, but not surprised. 'I suppose the saw finally did him in.'
'No,' says the nurse, 'Some dopey bastard put his head in a plastic bag and he suffocated.'
