Clock and Fact fans!

With the clocks going forward for you UK guys and backwards for us Poms here, we're now only 9 hours ahead of you :) Which should make it a lot easier for us to speak with you. However, it takes us quite a bit longer though to figure out what time it is in the UK though.

Well, it was pub quiz again tonight. It's every Tuesday and Bondi's surf club, which is a bit like a labour club in England, but for surfers :) geese. Anyway, we shall endeavor to put our pub quiz results up every week...a bit like Andreas weight which, i think, has been pretty absent recently. I think the scales are playing up at the moment, that's for both of us by the way, not just Andrea :)

Anyway, we had the who wants to be a millionaire guy and his team there tonight, and also a return of the team who ALWAYS wins (everyone actually boos when their team name is called out). At the end of round one, we were actually 1st with 38 out of 40 with a three point lead of the nearest team!!! We we're pretty speechless and celebrated with some (more) beer :) It went to our heads though (both the beer and us coming 1st) because the in second round we fell apart and ended up third overall. (65 out of 80) Even the quiz master said "what the hell happened there?!?"

I must admit, I've been to a lot of pub quizzes in my time, at this is by far the most entertaining. There's a lot of free drink on offer with intervals that say "the first person to bring the answer to me to this question gets $10's of beer". He tricks people sometimes though and says the "first 5 people with the correct answer..." Tonights was that the five suckers had to tell their favourite joke to everyone and the audience laughs were the verdict. Andrea was particularly tickled by the "What's brown and sticky?"...










..."a stick!"

She said that was her joke and continued to laugh and cheer to it :)

Anyway, sat here in the living room i see that we've lost two washing machines and gained another one !! woo ;( That's pretty much it for tonight.
