Ending the Week

[caddyman]

So we had a good night last night with the quiz, though yet again we were placed only third and therefore out of the running for the rapidly building rollover jackpot (now over £600). Maybe we’ll win it next week, who knows.

We should have done slightly better if I hadn’t talked the visiting keresaspa out of writing ‘marsupial’ and suggested ‘jellyfish’ instead. The fact that neither of us, despite a professed interest in history, remembered the existence of the so-called Helvetic Republic meant that we misplaced Switzerland’s last war by a cool 100 years. And who knew that Peter Sellars was the first man to appear on the cover of Playboy? Well, somebody knew, obviously, but it warn’t us. My gruntle is still vaguely dissed at the fact that we were not allowed A-League as the answer to the name of Australia’s senior football league. We needed to include the sponsor’s¹ name, too. I’ll bet if it had been a question about English football, The Premier League or maybe even The Premiership would have done.

Harrumph.

Nonetheless, it was a good evening and we did not disgrace ourselves. I might have been better advised not to have the last pint of Strongbow as this morning I was very tired and if not emotional, certainly a little churny. Ahem.

Anyway, today is the last day before we embark on a four-day weekend, so hurrah! We have a full season of 24 to watch, Eurovision tomorrow and Doctor Who on (I think) Sunday. Perhaps a little drawing and Warcrack between and betwixt…

¹Apparently it’s the Hyundry Hyundai A-League.

Hayundi: I can't say I'd noticed! Either we are the wrong target audience, or the sponsorship isn't working

It is delightful to be in the UK, so one can do things such as go to a pub and choose NOT to buy Strongbow (Gosh I've been drinking it ALL MONTH) or go into a supermarket and choosing NOT to buy Branston pickle (getting FED UP with having it in my cheese sarnie)

Yea verily, thou art a man in need of a sound thwacking.

The Playboy one was just too much of a stinker. I doubt anybody got that one.

I reckon that if anyone did get it, they were either cheating or far too interested in mid 1960s soft porn...
