Ok, so, a combination of boredom with my workload and with no interesting football until the Wales game on Saturday has led to me throwing this up just for some fun... Inspired by my favourite round on Richard Osman's House of Games, I present to you our very own CCFC Answer Smash!! For those of you that are unfamiliar with the way this works, I have put up a picture of a past or present Bluebird and then another picture of something else that can be linked by name to the player.. the two pictures combine to give you the answer.. I have given you the first one as an example (leaving the players name in for ease of explanation), so you'll see we have Ronnie Bird and a Birdhouse, which gives us Ronnie Birdhouse... easy!! I'd suggest rather than answer/respond with answers, on an honesty basis you can post what you think your scores are in response and I'll then pop up all the answers at some point tomorrow or Friday. You can then all re-check your scores and adjust as necessary... Alternately you could just ignore this completely!!! Have fun... If this is a success, I may have another go with some harder ones Just in case it helps with motivation.... I have decided to offer the following (virtual) prizes (inspired by Clingo's desire for a onesie or a dartboard - not that either on offer today)... Pick & Shovel Shirt Pick & Shovel Dinghy Pick & Shovel personalised deck chair Or my personal favourite, the Pick & Shovel Team Bus Taco Holder...
Gotta be the onesie surely??? Question is, what did you score (or at least do you think you've scored)??
Just wandering around Poole Quay. It's a little on the windy side. Not had a chance to look at the pics yet. My favourite part of the show is Where is Kazakhstan? I'm amazed how little geographical knowledge many so called celebs have. Perhaps I shouldn't be? Mrs BfB will back me up on this talking into account my rants at the muppets showing how thick they are. Why do people go on any quiz show involving a modicum of knowledge when clearly they have none? Does just being on TV override making public their single digit IQ's? End of rant.
Ok, end of the week and the answers all two of you have been waiting for .... (how many just didn't want to risk putting themselves out there I wonder???).. Reading from left to right down the pages, we have....... 1. Our example one - Ronnie Birdhouse 2. Lennie Lawrence + Lawrence of Arabia = Lennie Lawrence of Arabia 3. Junichi Inamoto + a Motorola phone = Junichi Inamotorola 4. Mike Ford + a Ford Capri = Mike Ford Capri 5. Leandro Bacuna + Cunard Cruises = Leandro Bacunard Cruises 6. Willie Boland + Lands End = Willie Bolands End 7. Neil Alexander + Alexander the Great = Neil Alexander the Great 8. Jonny Williams + an Amstrad Personal Computer (CPC 464 for you geeks out there) = Jonny Williamstrad CPC 464 9. Lee Peltier + Tiered seating = Lee Peltiered Seating 10. Willo Flood + Flood Defence Barrier = Willo Flood Defence Barrier 11. (Hard one this unless you are a move buff) Robert Earnshaw + Shawshank Redemption = Robert Earnshawshank Redemption 12. Leo Fortune-West + Weston Super Mare = Leo Fortune-Weston Super Mare 13. Andy Legg + Leggera Pizza = Andy Leggera Pizza 14. Filip Kiss + a Kissing Gate = Filip Kissing Gate 15. Fabio + Bio Hazard = Fabio Hazard (no relation to Eden or Thorgan) 16. (Surely the easiest one) Curtis Nelson + Nelsons Column = Curtis Nelsons Column (steady on there Masky!!)... For those of you who did give it a go, hopefully it proved to be a fun distraction.... Maybe, if there's next time I'll try to do a version of "Where is Kazakhstan" linked to teams we've played in Europe?? Though I suppose "Where is Burton Albion" has its own ring to it too
Sorry Clingo - only a joke Anyway, with your new Manager who I think is a very decent appointment, and us sticking with Martin, I suspect you could/will soon be above us …
All taken in the good humour Taff I guess we'll have a better idea after next weekend when you and Brizzle go head to head with the match threads. Gonna be a literary festival. Let's hope the game lives up to it.
