Well done, well done, lad.

That's the correct answer. You win this week's star prize of a long
green thing with two lumps on one end and a wotjamacallit hanging off
the other.

Answers to last week's quiz, were:

1) Patrick Moore.

2) Kidderminster.

3) The theory of cognitive dissonance.

More sprunes to yer croggles, mate.

A short piece of string with a piece missing from the middle.

Curses, I have been foiled by a piece of string . . . wait a minute, if I
push the two pieces together, you see? It's shorter at the ends! The

make it look as if a piece was missing from the middle, but in fact he has
stolen the two lenghts from the ends. Cunning swine.

Oh I see what has happened, someone cut the string in two and pulled them
apart making there look as if there was a piece missing in the middle.

Were you in RAF Signals, mate? Only they taught us not just to cut the
other person's telephone wire, but to cut it in two places and take away
the middle bit.
