Er... No, You're Not...

Viki showed me this last night and I just about peed myself laughing... This is taking blonde to the extreme!

From America's version of the quiz show "Are You Smarter Than A Ten Year Old?", called "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" comes this poor girl with nothing but peroxide up top!

How did she ever get as high as $10,000?

Oh, and as it was for charity, I guess this was a celebrity special, and she's some sort of celebrity... not that I've ever heard of her. Bit like she's never heard of Hungary!

Following On From Yesterday's "Born To Rock"...

I have been asked to point out that (in my brother's opinion) ENGLISH is clearly not my strongest subject either... because the old "1 + 1 = 2" is arithmetic, not maths... maths is all that "square on the hypotenuse" shit...

But I can categorically state that english IS my stronger subject... There's a "How Smart Are You?" quiz on the BBC website, and I got 19/20 when I did it today... and here's the proof!

BBC: Take The Test Here

Next week is a maths one... Think I'll give it a miss... lol.

Embarrassment Killed The Radio Star...

This all started yesterday... I was working in the shop, minding my own business, when in walked a guy with a microphone... which should immediately have raised the alarm.

Anyway, he explained that our tinpot local radio station, Radio Orkney (part of BBC Radio Scotland) was going to be having a quiz programme tonight, and they were going along shops on the street asking staff to record questions for it... and would I mind asking one!?

What could I do? I was the only person in the shop!

So, a microphone was thrust in my face, and I had to recite the following...

"Hello... I'm Alison from *Shop Name Deleted to Retain an Air of Mystery* and my question is... How many rows of Christmas lights are there between here and the harbour?"

Then a dramatic pause... Then...

"And the answer is... Four"

Well, last night I listened... and with about 10 minutes before the end of the programme, I thought I'd escaped and they hadn't had time for me...

No such luck! Mine was about the last question used!

Cringe!

It's probably somewhere on a "listen again" thing on the net, but I'm not sticking any links to it here... No way!
