If you can't beat 'em, then join 'em.
I'll look at this quiz later when I have 2 or 3 minutes to spare after the NZ vs Belgium World Cup match.
Come on, you know the All Whites will lose, or loose, as Robert would say. You should have watched the Hurricanes.
Yes, I've just stopped watching before the end. The score is 4:1 (I won't tell you who's leading).
re your quiz, how about these answers:
d
124

How did I do?
Look, I'm a bit busy reading about the All Whites' 5 - 1 hiding. But I'll get onto marking your answers soon. Hey, you should have watched the Hurricanes.
I almost saw a hurricane in our backyard yesterday and today Matey.
Peter's score = 2/10.
Hey, but you got two of the hardest questions right!
6. Mrs. Carr and
8. D7b9
Well done!!!
are a bit of a pain really but here goes, I just get my phone 'cause I can't read the questions and comment t the same time on my Google notebook laptop...ho hum...almost there....hang on...
ok first question...um ...Mt Victoria is properly called either Matairangi or Tangi Te Keo. Ok next one...2...um if he is carrying his violin then he has left his case at home so there will be none provided he has no spares in the compartment for carrying rosin and stuff. Ok next one...hang on I have to pick up my phone ...3... never played the violin...my father Bob didn't so I will go with him, Robert Prowse....4....hang on just scratch my nose...cheek is itchy too...better...ok 4....mmm...Danny always came across as a clever chap...Noel...maybe....yes I will go for Noel who seemed to have his head screwed on right and was a nice fellow....ok..lets see...oh yes a specialized music question because RBB knows lots about music,,,ok... being a violinist I don't have much need for chords so I will guess...two C#s and an Eb....6....I know this one because I was in her class...Mrs Carr...7.... another specialized family nickname thing and is probably one of George's boys.....8....um... moving up the finger board three time gets to a ninth if each chord is minor third...hang on if each is a minor third each will be a semi tone less than a major triad so oh I don't know probably finish on a C7 a semi tone below the root....9... of course RBB hasn't heard what Peter told me he thought about his tours so I think anyone but C ... and finally 10...sips coffee...che stonanza is just a rude expression one wouldn't use in polite company nor if one had half a brain but d is the answer.
3/10. You beat Peter who got 2/10! Well done!
Do I get a badge? As I’m not Mexican I like badges.
Well, yes you do. It's a footprint on your bum for 2/10. You're supposed to be coming for lunch next Saturday (with Lynn). I can deliver it then.
Rob you are invited too. You may not have seen the comment I left on one of TC's posts.
It's understandable that he missed the comment as it would have been buried under the sheer volume of other comments.
Please wear well padded undies next Saturday.
And a secure pair of 'incontinence pants' just in case your toilet is in use.

Great video clip!
No more quizzes?
Doesn't look like it.
I don't give a f***.
Oh, I do have an idea for one but I'll write that in the morning.
So, when is this going to happen?
It has.
Okay, I'm on my way over.
I thought that was your normal state.
Just because you live in the White House, Peter McDonald Trump!
It’s kind of cream actually and, being a stucco house you could say that it’s clotted cream.
Clotted cream. A good house for a clot!
Still borrowing jokes from the grandsons I see.
Aren't you funny!
Oh, you're not.
Maybe not but Robert is or he certainly has funny ideas. His latest is on biographies being written before the subject is born.
But if Luke wrote it, it could be true.
