Sorry folks, I've been a busy, busy bee today and have only just found the time to update my blog. I trust you are all well and are ready to do battle on Thursday night.The good news from my point of view is that apart from a little last minute tweaking, the quiz is almost finished. What remains are just one entertainment and one sport question, the Leprechaun's Pot 'O' Gold question and the Faces round. Yesterday, I pretty much breezed through the music tape and I'm quite happy with its diversity. I also got the Celebrity Matchword guest round done PDQ by my standards. Actually I still need to fill the folders with the relevant answer sheets, ugh! my pet hate. I'll work on that before bedtime. Sweet dreams all I shall see you on Thursday. Last point. To reiterate, there will be no quiz Christmas week and the last quiz of the year will be moved to the Tuesday of that week. Hehehehehe a TV commercial was just shown that gave me the entertainment question I was struggling with.
In Antarctica, Nimrod, Slessor and Scott are all Glaciers
If you wen't out with some gentles, a jig, a gag and a coop you would be going Fishing.
1. The Roman name of which town, north-west of London, was Veralanium?
2. What is the surname of the famous brother and sister painters Augustus and Gwen?
3. Which British poet, an officer in the Royal Naval Division, died en route to the Dardenelles in April 1915, and was buried on the Greek island of Skyros?
A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, ' I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir.'
The driver says, 'Gee, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating.'
Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: 'Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control.'
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, 'Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?'
The wife smiles demurely and says, 'You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did.'
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, 'Damit, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?'
The officer frowns and says, 'And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine.'
The driver says, 'Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket.'
The wife says, 'Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving.'
And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, 'WHY DON'T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP??'
The officer looks over at the woman and asks, 'Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?'
'Only when he's been drinking.'
