JacquieL Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I am more than delighted that you won a badge Peggy and for giving your son this educational opportunity ' once a teacher always a teacher' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 What a surprise I am going to give my badge to my son, he helped me to count the 2p's, although 10 yrs old he is only just grasping the concept of money, so when I tell him 'we' won he will be thrilled, and I am sure he will love to wear his badge to school. (I'll put a note in his home/school book with the FSF address for his teachers) By the way, my foster son spent the rest of the day filling various objects with 2p's asking everyone to 'guess' the total. Peggy If he wants another real life experience he can come and estimate how much is in my bank account - it won't take long as theres not much there!

Beau Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Well done to everyone who took part in the quiz, even if you didn't manage to answer any of the questions. Some of them were pretty tough this year! Unfortunately mundia is having problems with her connection in the evenings so it falls to me to announce the winners and prizes. I did a quick tally up (which may be slightly wrong but is pretty close!) Well done to Marion, Sue, Susan, korkycat, hali, teahead, Rosina, Steve, glmaidment, JacquieL, Peggy and Susan who all answered between 1-4 questions right. mundia scored an own goal with 2 of the questions as well. Next comes Hammered, beth1 and Lorna with between 5 and 10 correct answers. 6th place was dublinbay 5th place was MrsWeasley 4th place was Geraldine 3rd place was HappyMaz 2nd place was Inge This years winner was aliamch! The prizes awarded over the evening are as follows: For her help before and during the quiz itself, keeping things going when mundia wasn't able to, Nichola gets a years subscription to the forum, a mug and a badge. For answering the most questions including some of the really tricky ones aliamch also gets a years subscription to the forum, a mug and a badge. Bad luck to Inge for getting pipped to the post for first place - it was very close! You win a mug and a badge for your contribution over the weekend. Also winning a mug and a badge are Geraldine and dublinbay. Geraldine won her badge for perseverance and was voted as the deserving winner of Susans mug by the chat crew - well done. dublinbay won a badge for pming mundia and the mug from answering Jacquies question - congratulations to you too. Wolfie was the proud winner of the mug after guessing the closest to Maz's Ikea shopping spree and Lorna also gets a mug for answering a tricky question. Peggy won the badge for the mug of 2ps! Since everyone else who had a guess already had a prize she chose a most deserving winner - I hope he wears it with pride. Other people winning badges during the evening for a variety of questions were Hammered, teahead, beth1, hali and Rosina. Mrs Weasley spent an incredibly long time in chat on Friday evening and is awarded a badge, as this must be a record for the forum! Finally korkykat was the newest forum member to answer a question correctly and gets a badge for joining in. Once again, many thanks to all of you who joined in in some way over the weekend. Please don't forget to make your donations to Children in Need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks peggy and beau for sorting out the PMs and list of prizewinners etc. So glad the quiz went down well, I think the social side of the forum is really important so thanks to everyone for entering into the spirit!

Gezabel Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Now you have to start filling it with coins ready for next year :wacko: We've done 2ps so what next...? Fill my precious, precious mug with coins?!! What a suggestion :unsure: It has been lovingly washed and has it's own very special place in the kitchen - FAR too good to live in the cupboard with other mugs :rolleyes: I even dried it with kitchen roll, no tea towel used for other crockery was good enough (even though it was clean out of the drawer tonight!) However, I do have a wicker basket thing ( a big one) and we chuck loose change in there so you can guess how much will be in it by next Children in need!! It is now about a quarter full and only contains 5p, 2p and 1p coins and there is somewhere between £40-£100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Oh my tattybogle! I've never understood that joke.. and now I get it I'm afraid this runs in the family. I was 34 before I got the joke in "Ernie - the fastest milkman in the west". It goes "he said you're wantin' pasturised 'cos pasturised is best - she said Ernie I'll be 'appy if it comes up to me chest." Geddit? They don't write them like that any more do they?

Guest Wolfie Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) I was 34 before I got the joke in "Ernie - the fastest milkman in the west". It goes "he said you're wantin' pasturised 'cos pasturised is best - she said Ernie I'll be 'appy if it comes up to me chest." Ooh, don't mention that song! As the youngest of five, I am STILL teased by my older brothers and sisters about the fact that they had to turn the radio off during that song, at the request of Mum and Dad, because I got too frightened at the mention of those ghostly milk bottles "a-rattlin' in their crate"!

Tattybogle, I reckon you deserve one last try for a mug. This question is for you only: What was the name of Ernie's horse? Answer back before midnight please and no hints from anyone!
