Quiz 457

Firstly, let me apologise for the lack of posts recently, I've just been stressed. Hopefully, when I get this Council Tax bill out of the way on Tuesday I will feel a little better. By the way, why the f**k do we bother with Council Tax when the chinless pr*cks and bints at Marmion House decide to waste it on things like that f**king eyesore opposite St Editha's church that apparently cost around £100,000? Okay, whinge over. Last night's quiz was a lot better than in recent weeks but I think it is still to early to think the summer drout is over. On a similar subject, the arrangements for Christmas quizzes will be as follows: as Christmas Day falls on a Thursday there will be no quiz that week and the following week the quiz will be on the Tuesday. (December 30th). Not my choice, I wanted to change to Tuesday for both weeks but Kate doesn't want to.

Six teams last night which is somewhat of an improvement. Due somewhat to Sue's birthday party and ergo the participation of The Props. Last night's winners were the aforementioned Props with 90pts, CJD were second on 88pts and The Alliance were third with 83pts.

Leprechaun's Pot 'O' Gold

End of the month last night so the whole Pot was up for grabs. Unfortunately, it had been a quiet month and there was only £46.50 prize money. Hopefully, there will be more at the end of October now that Summer is over and yes, it's a five week month. Last night I asked the question,What was the date of the Battle of Worcester, after which Charles II is said to have famously hidden in an oak tree? September 3 1651 was the correct answer and although Gareth of The Alliance was close, the winner was Anita of Drunks Aloud. Unfortunately I've lost her answer slip so I can't tell you how close she was.

Joke of the Day (Thanks Hancock)

"One day a shy gentlemen was preparing to board a plane"?

when he heard that the Pope was on the same flight. "This is exciting," thought the gentleman. "I've always been a big fan of the Pope. Perhaps I'll be able to see him in person."

Suddenly, the man realized his seat was right next to the Pope himself. Still, the gentleman was too shy to speak to the Pope.

Shortly after take-off, the Pope took a crossword puzzle out off his bag and began working on it. This is fantastic, thought the gentleman. I'm really good at crosswords. Perhaps if the Pope gets stuck, he'll ask me for assistance.

Almost immediately, the Pope turned to the man and said, "Excuse me, but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends in 'unt'?

The man was in shock. He could only think of one word that fit the description and he was not about to say it to the Pope. The gentleman thought for a while longer, then it hit him.

Turning to the pope, the gentleman said, "I think you're looking for the word 'aunt'."

"Of course," said the Pope. "Do you have an eraser?"
