Last Week's Oranges
In our local book club last week, we had a quiz, to kick things off. The book club theme was Oranges, so the quiz had 9 purported titles. You had to mark the ones you thought were real books, who wrote them, if you marked them as books. Others were films, LP- I mean albums, or other cultural things. One was a red herring. (Should have been orange, eh?) Last Week's Oranges. Now, that answer is a real one. [Image source Wikipedia Commons placed in the public domain by Downtowngal ]

I remember, and the faint smell of Lion pee and Turkish Delight.... hahaha. I do not know anyone who has never explored their parents' wardrobe. When I was 8, my dad's wardrobe had hundreds of football programmes from the 40's and 50's; Rangers...

T had a BCC removed from the same location a couple of years ago. This was after all the breast cancer business was over. Naturally, it was quite scary, BUT, it just means factor 50 outside, find shade - if there isn't...

by others. It's quite interesting to see what works and what doesn't. Also it's useful to see if one's opinion of something has changed. (More often than one might suppose.)

I was brought up short by the mention of Charlie Drake, possibly the least funny man ever on British Television. But, boy, was he ever popular back in the Stone Age. I hated his whole schtick.
Anyway, looks like you've another cracker...

No apologies for picking this as our Pick of the Day today, it's funny, succinct, and shows great self-knowledge. We all need to tell stories against ourselves - a little self-knowledge is a marvellous thing.
Please share this,...
