Do we have any smarty alecs who could turn one of our club meetings into a club night. I tried once and failed. The following are some of the questions I asked and some of the strange replies I received:
Me: Name the funny men who once entertained kings and queens at court. Archer: Lepers.
Me: Which French Mediterranean town hosts a famous film festival? Scubaone: I don't know, I need a clue. Me: OK what do baked beans come in? Scubaone: Supermarkets.
Me: I'm in a famous shopping street called Oxford Street. What is the name of the town I am in? J.T.: Cambridge.
Me: Who had a worldwide hit with What a Wonderful World? K.T. I don't know Me: I'll give you a clue. What do you call the part between your hand and your elbow? K.T. Arm Me:Correct. And if you are not weak you are...? K.T. Strong Me: Correct. And what was Lord Mounbatten's first name. K.T. Louis. Me: Well done. So who had a worldwide hit with What a Wonderful World? K.T. Frank Sinatra?
Me: What was Ghandi's first name? Bandit: Goosey goosey
Me: What happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963? Del: I don't know I never used to watch that programme.
Me: In traffic, what "J" is where two roads meet? Deepthought: Jool carriageway.
Me: What is 11 squared? Leakey: I don't know, I haven't got my glasses with me. Me: I'll give you a clue. It's two ones with a two in the middle. Leakey: Is it four?
Me: What is the world's largest continent? Vetilatu: The Pacific.
Me: Name a fim starring Bob Hoskins that is also the name of a famous painting by Leonarda Da Vinci. Janste( the wife): Who framed Roger Rabbit.
Me: What "K" could be described as the Islamic Bible? Janste(the husband): Er... Me: It's got two syllables..Kor... Janste(the husband): Is it Blimey? Me: No. I'll give you a clue. Today I run, yesterday I.. Janste(the husband): Walked?
Of course none of the above contestants were in our club. It was another club I was in at the time. BSAC. So any resemblance to to any of our club members is purely coincidental.
There are more to come so I will return another day.
Trigsy! I never knew that you once batted for the "other side". The things you find out over a simple interrogation - sorry - quiz. And I thought the Armstrong fella was the first man on t'moon and the first Earl of Burma - not a pop star! KT

But I never even mentioned you Bandit. I was talking about people in a BSAC club. You would never get answers like that in a PADI club. Now we all know you are our sole Bandit, but there are others elsewhere so please don't be so touchy my friend. I would never even imply anything derogatory about anyone at FFS.
I know you never would trigsy my old friend, I also was only jesting. Must be this e-mailing malarky, sometimes it never gets over the subtle little quips which were meant as a joke.
This is why the club is the way it is, friendly and up for a giggle, people who don't want a laugh join BSAC...........
