It wasn't that much of a waste of time Rog - I could have sorted a sock drawer but I've been putting that off anyway.  ;D

Had Roger got the date correct, the sock drawer would be sorted, and so one morning in the not too distant future you won't have socks to wear and will be late to work, and your grumpiness will affect a co-worker who will go out drinking that night because he "hates himself" and get blind drunk and try to break into a top-secret nuclear bunker, and in dealing with him, someone will inadvertently fall on a button and launch the missiles.

Thanks, Roger - you just started World War III.

Any luck finding the answer yet Roger? It dosn't appear to be online - you may have to go to a library or get one of your Amerian friends to do that for you have them bug the librarian.

I'm rooting for you.  ;D

Don't be silly and go worrying and upsetting ROger in the midst of his big Custer contest - the worst thing that could happen around here would be a case of cow tipping or toilet-papering a barn.

Diane, I still have a couple of weeks before sending in the answers so I'll keep at it. More importantly, what's cow tipping?

You mean this is a real competition? I thought it was a quaint joke...like a line out of an Alan Bennett play, or a Les Dawson monologue.

Wow! If you win, I think they should make a film about it - I can hear the brass band building up to the nerve-tingling decider question right now. A cross between Brassed Off and Rocky.

Who do you think should play you, Roger? Dustin Hoffman or David Essex?
I apologise, in advance.

You mean you've never had really good service from a cow?

Someone old, grey and balding. When I was younger, people used to say I looked like Dudley Moore. Now it's Patrick Moore.

I never thought Dudley Moore was ugly.
