8 and 10 are wrong. Hero got 10.

You'll no doubt marvel at how question 10 would also have slotted into tomorrow's 'Six of One' round.

Gutentag Notcherinos

All good in the woods?

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed 04 Oct 2017, 7:44 am

All good here mate, wintery day, and mainly meetings this afternoon but barring that not too bad.

You?

by **ShahenshahG** Wed 04 Oct 2017, 8:03 am

Not too shabby, didn't get my stuff sorted yesterday but there was some good news and someone senior took note of my requests so turned out alright. Then the guy who should have sorted my work out months ago got sacked for incompetence yesterday so it turned out to be a lovely day in the end.

Today is brisk, breezy and overcast, not enough light to accentuate the wonderful colours and my stomach is rumbling. Egg muffin and hot chocolate are the order of the day

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed 04 Oct 2017, 8:18 am

Sounds like things are getting there mate, this time next year and all that.

Just grey and windy here, but I like the wind, as long as there is no rain to accompany it.

Thread split happened, and more quizzing to do... Nice.

by **ShahenshahG** Wed 04 Oct 2017, 9:09 am

Ah, Sorry I missed it but hopefully will be around for the next one. Has Galted pulled out all his hair from his forehead or is the little one well behaved?

by **Galted** Wed 04 Oct 2017, 10:30 am

The only abundance of hair I have is on my back. Little one is no bother to me but Galtova is losing the will to exist.
