There was much raisage of eyebrow at the chosen picture there...

And how did you know about my lady boy past? Huh?

Nelly said...

I chose namesakes as I couldn't get a picture of Stray Toaster that he'd deem gorgeous enough. As for yours Mr Ed was a *talking horse.*

Nelly said...

Oh aye. Lady boy past. Obvious really when you recently confessed to an interest in women's knickers.

I confess nothing.

Ed: Randalstown, Sir Jeremy of Clarkson, 20something, an altar boy.

Beowulf: The Mountains of Mourne, a lizardy thing, wet his pants, in a top secret government research bunker

Bert: demolishing sheds, clematis, a Mercedes Benz, the tin whistle

Marc: Caitlin, orange, thermodynamics, converse

I was torn between b&c for Bert's first question. As we all know, he does love the revenoo.

Nelly said...

I'll announce the winner tomorrow.

Nelly said...

....and The Talking Horse wins with 15 out of a possible 16. Bert's favourite hobby is actually sleeping.

The Dragon Slayer is the runner-up with 11 out of 16.

As The Rocking Elf did not enter the quiz, nor into any dispute about the colour of his ride it will stand as orange, at least in Cullybackey, where orange is one of our favourite shades.

Hmm, I *did* enter it, and it even told me it was posted successfully. Alas, I don't think I would have beaten everyone's favourite Randalstown blogger.

You know, I bet the submission is still on my machine at home. I shall take a screenshot to prove it. How very odd.

Ah well.

Have a fantastic Christmas, and keep the weekend of the 11th Feb next year free!

This, THIS, is for all those who didn't believe that I would amount to anything. For all you doubters, all you haters, all you right wing wankers and arse-lickers, I DID IT ANYWAY!

Nelly, I thank you for this excellent opportunity to show what success I have achieved.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.

Nelly said...

The question is this Marc. Did you bate him at the quiz?

Congrats Ed. Do you want the tree or shall I donate it to an orphanage? Or wait until it's 30 foot and donate it to Ken? For Lahndan.

Anonymous said...

The donating it to Ken option is tempting. Especially if I can choose the placement of the tree, post-donation.

Aside: "Enema for Livingstone!"

Nelly said...

That made me do that laugh-out-loud thing. I immediately got a picture of you racing towards Ken with the sharp end of a Christmas tree heading straight for his hole. Bert is a dab-hand with the chain saw (he so macho when he not sleeping) and he could shape the business end of it for you. But... you will need a couple of nimble footed chappies to help you with the run up. Any ideas who'd be keen?

I could think of a couple... I think Chez would be up for it, since he's about 20 stone and built like a brick shithouse. And I think mwk might be persuadable.

Nelly said...

So now all we have to do is wair for the tree to grow another 15 foot.
