I have no idea what ‘the-master’s’ interests might be. Perhaps sport? Football? I really don’t know and it is not my business. In fact, it is irrelevant. But whatever his interests are, there’s an even chance that I will not share them. That doesn’t mean I would denigrate them or even comment on them. This thread does absolutely no harm to anybody. I spend a few minutes every few days reading it, and sometimes a few minutes posting. It’s a bit of fun that many people enjoy. We all have lives. Perhaps busier than ‘the-master’s’ perhaps less so. In my view the people who really do need to ‘get a life’ in the sense that he means it, are those who feel the need to make comments on matters that are not of interest to them and are no concern of theirs. You will never find me in, say, a football forum, but I wish the posters well and would not dream of commenting or giving my views on their interest. My views would be spurious, irrelevant and unwelcome. It has taken me 3 minutes and 38 seconds to write and post this. Not too much time out of a life perhaps. |

But we always get at least one ‘get a life’ comment each year. I'm sure we will get more. Maybe we should add it to the Bingo game.

Secondly, brilliant questions! It will make a nice change to be able to have a go at a quiz. (Not that I mind devising one!) I will have a go and get my answers to you over the weekend. Unfortunately I have a life to live right now so don't have time.

I think this is a very clever and innovative quiz, pembo2004, and I can see why it took you a while to devise it!
All the quizzes are great fun and a real tribute to people like Claires_dad and Wizzywick who spend time creating them. |

My first time back here since yesterday, thanks all for your comments.
Can I offer a truce guys? Same as wizzywick in his post 243, no offence meant. I do read the top two-thirds of the threads in the Broadcasting forum on my work lunch-break every day, including this one if it is up there. Quite an enjoyable read overall.....I just despair at the "soon it will be Easter, then Summer, then etc etc" type of posts is all - life is short enough as it is and every month seems to fly by without [it seems] having the time and opportunity to get the most out of it (work/kids/other family commitments....usual thing) without wishing time away even more. Enjoy the moment, just wish the late spring - summer months could last longer than they do. So, no hard feelings......at least not on my part anyway. |
