Good Result

Your blogger and Patrick Fleming, playing as blog one, came second in the Lamb quiz last night. Not a bad result, I thought, considering there were only two of us. This quiz was written and presented by the mighty duo, Roger and Rick with Alan Isaac producing the picture round. I know that Alan Isaac is always looking for new people to compile the Lamb pub quiz so if you have any ideas for a future quiz pop in and see him. As for myself, I am sure the bottle of red wine I won will go down well.

And cheif stoker Frost is quite correct. Bulgaria is not on the Isle Of Mull.

One question I thought that more would have got right was what linked the deaths of William the Conquerer, Ghengis Khan and William of Orange ?. The answer is of course that they all died after a fall from a horse. In the case of King Billy, he died after his horse fell after putting its foot down a hole created by a mole. Thats why Williams Jacobite opponents drank a toast after his death to 'the little gentleman in velvet'.

And in answer to another question, the 'royal vegetable' mentioned was asparagus, not Prince Charles as some might think.
