Film Quiz
Apr 5, 2004

Someone at work has just circulated a quiz. I'm a sucker for them and stopped working totally to make sure it was given due consideration. What fun!
It's based on film titles and I'll happily share some of the fun with you.
First one: Clue - Australia's Magician





Are you ready?





Answer - The Wizard of Oz.

Now you're in the mood here's the others up to 10. I have the answers but won't give them till you ask. I expect a full team effort. If you like them I'll give you some more - there were 30 in all.

2 Highest Revolver
3 Actors and Actresses not at home
4 Waltzing before washing
5 Obvious with gift threat
6 Man is pleased with decision to have woman for dinner
7 Model Rachel is expensive
8 Roads are not generous
9 Distant turn
10 Illness in the middle of the weekend

Have fun!

Dorothy's Still Dancing...
Apr 1, 2004

I came across this story in the local rag and really want to share it with you.
=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
A big picture of an elderly couple in a dance pose is accompanied by this:

"... The dancing couple married 8 years ago and Mr Fisher recalls the moment they fell in love. He said: "One night we had been dancing, came home after a few drinks, fell into each others arms and found we were in love with each other. It's got better ever since."

=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
"Dorothy's still dancing at her 100th birthday party" was the headline and elsewhere in the story it said that Tom is 90. Aaah!

Has anyone else come across the book Tolstoy's Bicycle?

Is 90 seconds 30 seconds too long?
Mar 30, 2004

Presently an aeroplane lands at Heathrow every 90 seconds.

If you stand in Cranford (just on the edge of the airport) you will see a plane landing, another one coming in and another one behind that witha fourth in the distance starting its approach. The British Airport Authorities want to reduce the time to 60 seconds between aeroplanes.

FiST - Game 1
Mar 30, 2004

So far I've got myself and Rojo Habe on the team. I need one more person at least to make a Hootoo fish slapping team. Fun for all the family.
All you need to be able to do is create a journal entry with the identical title to this "FiST - Game 1" and be able to make fish smileys and smiley smileys and you are fully equipped.
