Q:Which is the 2nd major country, after New Zealand, to receive the New Year? A: Australia.? Japan.? Nope, it's Russia. Took me back a little that one, and I thought I had a good handle on Geography [part of my degree ]. That's one sprawling country and the reason I didn't win the pub quiz. Boo.! Never mind. HNY2017
Interesting, I certainly wouldn't have gone for Russia either! Though now that I think about it, up the top Russia is really very close to Alaska. Geography was my degree too
Not really awake. I thought WC in that sentence referred to a toilet. Had me scratching my head. Yes, folks. I'm not going to improve in 2017.
I see 2016 couldn't help but chalk one more celebrity death up before it ended: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38484032 Father Mulcahy [William Christopher] from wonderful, wonderful M*A*S*H died yesterday.
Indeed, when you think about it, it does become obvious. But that's what good pub quiz questions do to your brain.
Something a little more sit-up-and-take-notice... Brilliant Light Power actually gets on mainstream news a few hours ago in 2017. Now either the **** will hit the world economy fan or things might just start getting a little better with the prospect of cheaper, cleaner power. Or it doesn't work, of course. However, all the data and evidence suggests it does, but that doesn't convince some scientists who don't like their Einstein pulled out of shape: EDIT: Sorry, did I say 'cleaner' up there.? Sorry, old habit as energy production has improved over the years. I meant 'clean and pollution free'.
Just noticed that we have to get rid of our round £1 coins by October when they will become illegal. I have a lovely fat little savings pot half full of the little buggers.....I was hoping to get to its maximum of £250 and buy a nice treat for me and a friend. Now I will have to smash it early....I doubt I will make the target by October as it was based on me putting money in if I didn't buy myself a cake. That isn't happening much these days.....it's not only the pot which is round and fat.
