What's on in Llandudno

[Nemesis]

Sorry to sound like a big kid, but I always enjoy the Extravaganza, join in the parade, if I can and always, always have a wander down the fairground. The year the family came I actually went down the big helter skelter by the Empire with the Granddaughter. She is a teenager and I shan't see 60 again, but we were like a pair of kids !!  Knew about it afterwards though-- my backside ached for a week !

this looks like the bus I knew, somewhere I have an old photo of it, can't be certain of the reg number.

The bus or one very like it, is stored at the back of the Bus yard on Builders Street West. You can only see it if your on the train going to Junction

Fester and I are currently representing the Forum at the Kings Head pub quiz

[Pendragon]

How are you getting on? Need any help from us 

[Pendragon]

Hey Hey ! Fester Dave is messing round with his phone...instead of helping you mate  

[Fester]

Sadly Dave and I were pathetic.
5 hours or so of boozing might have had some effect...  Z** Z**

We were equal 4th,  but thats nothing to be proud of,  ... I think we should stick to what we know,  and I'm not sure what that is?

[DaveR]

You constantly babbling on about tv-am presenters didn't help either.... 

Still, 4th out of 20+ groups was ok.

[Fester]

It wasn't mate.... it was terrible.

For example, out of the top 10 coffee drinking countries... we got 2,  and we were lucky to get them.
However, no one did well on that..as she asked the WRONG question apparently!

Out of the 40 questions that we were pretty sure of... we got at least 12 wrong... some of the examples were embarrassing.

We are complete imbeciles, when Google is not readily to hand, and beer is in our bellies.

[Blongb]

Trouble is Fester me old mate some of us have been going to the Kings Head quiz for years now and are in long established teams. Glad I got to put a face to your name but was sorry to miss Dave R. Like you we misheard the coffee question and only got 2 points as well
