I'm Not Grumpy....

[gness]

....because we didn't win the pub quiz.....

I'm grumpy because the quiz master was wrong and I was right....the largest country in Africa is Algeria (not Sudan)

.....and because I think purplish/lavender is the same as violet when describing Jacaranda flowers ......

So two points down.....grrrrr.......:-(

(You know we love you really....)

[gness]

Right....well thanks to Shoota I am prepared for the Bronte sisters question when it comes up.......Dead or Alive?....I shall call out.....and see where that ?takes us.....☺

That won't work, will it... :-(

[gness]

How did my ? jump......Love you too, Shoota....♥

[shoota]

I'm not sure it is possible to call out dead...

[gness]

Oh it is, Shoota....if you're Irish....and have red hair....and the mole....♣

[shoota]

Had red hair....

[gness]

Right.....I'm off to bed to weep into my feather pillow now, Shoota......

It's probably you who's turning me grey...ish......☺

Night all....thanks for the banter......xxx

[shoota]

gness: If it's not shoota that's turning you greyish, it's the quiz master. :P

[cupid04]

Which one of the seven dwarfs are you then?

[gness]

The QM has me tearing the hair out, Strawberry.......be bald by Christmas......:-(

I know, Ael!.....Harrumph......

Now, Cupid! At least Shoota had the grace to refer to me as Snow White.... though it was just another pop at my hair....
I once played Sleepy in a panto.......now?....well Bashful of course....☺

[shoota]

Dozy

[cupid04]

Most quizzes say that the Quiz Master is always right (even when he isn't!). One question we had was "Which country does Marsala wine come from?" To a man (or woman) we all said Italy, "no!" He said "it's Sicily!" He insisted he was right, but as everyone got the answer wrong it made no difference!

[gness]

Not so bad, Carol when everyone is right and the QM wrong.....a pain when there are various answers, you get it right but those who wrongly guess get the point......
Yes...it's all fun....and I'm a little tongue in cheek.....but only a little....☺

Buzz off, Shoota.......x

@Gness

I wonder if that quizmaster had the mediaeval period in mind?

And before that, it was an Emirate.

And, before that, probably Byzantine (ie Greek). No shortage of history, at any rate.
