Question Time

My hubby loves quiz shows. Egg heads, Weakest link and now the Chaser. He sits with his feet up on the couch  a mug of coffee in his hand shouting out the answers at the tv. I'm usually glued to my laptop oblivious to him and the questions. Every now and then he'll glance in my direction with a big smug smile on his face chuffed to bits he got a hard answer correct. One night I thought I'd join in. The question was "who was shot in Dallas 1963?" Me thinking I was really clever blurted out "JR."  ??? You should have seen the look on his face, he wasn't impressed "JFK" he said "Dallas wasn't on in 1963" he sneered. So i've come to the decision he watches game shows and I come on the forum. ;D

It is funny...and tragic too.
I did notice that on the map Australia had been labelled Iran, and then and North Korea to mislead people a little.
Everything is not always quite what it seems..

There's a lot of truth to that clip though.

I've lost count how many times I've tried to explain that Wales isn't in Australia, or part of England.

Only a few days ago a female was inquiring as to where my accent originated. "You're from Russia - where Arnold Schwarzenegger is from".  :-X

I thought he was from London as everyone was calling him 'Guvner.

Met him & his wife Maria a few times. Here they are at a dinner I attended:

In my early teens a gang of us went round to this girls house whose parents were away
and started playing with a home made ouija board, as you do.
We were asking it all the usual questions "Is anybody there?" etc
when suddenly there was a bang and all the lights went out.
We all ran outside laughing but scared,
I never went near that house again or find out why the lights had fused.
I just pity the poor girl that had to spend the rest of the night there alone.
