Bbc Quiz : Week 29
49 Answers
Not too bad for me with the adult quiz this week: FOUR out of seven.

Hint: Pay close attention in the adult quiz this week, as it will then help you in the junior one. That, together with a bit of lucky guessing, meant that I scored a maximum FIVE out of five there this week!

I was planning on chairing this thread from the garden of The Beerhouse in Bury St Edmunds this evening this but I've decided to stay at home as
(a) I've tried using my laptop there before and I always struggle to see the screen due to the glare from the sun ;
(b) I'd have to take my laptop to the loo with me, to stop it getting nicked, every time I went there (which, with my prostate problem and a few pints of beer, would probably be quite often!) ; and
(c) someone would almost certainly swipe my table while I was away from it (for the aforementioned reason). It can be a real pain trying to retain a table in a bar when one is on one's own (I've often ended up becoming nomadic due to losing my place every time I get up from it!).
So I'll be supping a few beers at home tonight, while trying to pretend to myself that I'm in a pub.
So who's scored what this week then?

Only one behind you this week.
I've had to admit defeat and get a couple of gardeners in today to restore some sort of order. Apart from the fact that they didn't know the difference between bindweed and Japanese Knot weed they were very efficient. Shady, however, is not happy that several of his jungle retreats have disappeared. Hope your fabled trio still have their happy hunting grounds :-)

Not so great with your scores this week, Tony - but who cares anyway when there's beer to be had. (I've still not opened any yet but it'll be any minute now, I think1).

Good evening, Haras2. Well done with those decent scores.
My threesome rarely have to bother about any sort of gardening activity around my house, as I haven't done any at all for the past thirty years! The only thing that gets done is when I fork out a hundred quid every so often for a couple of guys with a chainsaw to cut my privet hedge back from the public footpath at the front of my house and take all the stuff away. (It's only the front face of the hedge that gets cut. Height-wise it's now well above the eaves of the house. I've heard kids going past refer to my home as "the dark house" which, indeed, it most definitely is!)
