-pops- Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Two wrong - No 4 - which I'm pleased I didn't know and the Queen's birthday one as I misunderstood what it was asking.I notice Blanket Blunkett is in trouble again for having a directorship in a firm that does DNA testing. He probably only wanted the job so he could get a bulk discount on all the paternity tests he wants doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thos Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I got 7 right.My wrong ones were :4 I had only vaguely heard of any of them and certainly couldn't have hummed one of their numbers (could anyone?)8 I dithered over 20 or 30 minutes but I didn't really know and9 I gave Judaism purely on the basis of people I know, but I really know more atheists than any other groups.My passport is valid until 2009 and I probably won't renew it then. You don't need one when you go to purgatory!Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Presumably there is a section for them to do hand signals and U-turns in this test. And possibly something about "which way is UP?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I suppose if they are really stuck they could always throw a bung to the Messiahs new labour ...

jimv7 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 As usual, they have asked totally inane questions that don't mean a thing,more appropriate questions are:who won the ashes?what is bst?where is the nearest pub, to your address?what is a 'chubby brown'?where would you get a brown split?I could go on but then I would be as daft as they are........... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rong Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I only got 4, so I better emigrate. Why would I need to know most of them anyhow, I have lived in England or Wales (couple of years) for 50 odd years and never needed to know.

Gandalph Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Sorry, I meant to add to the above posting but clicked the add instead of preview button. EMPLOYMENT: The national minimum wage for workers aged 22 and over goes up next month from £4.20 per hour to what? A: £4.30 per hour B: £4.50 per hour C: £5.00 per hourIt looks to me as though that quiz has been there for quite a while Tankus, seems to have been written long before the October rise. I answered £4.50 because I remember it being lifted from £4.30 earlier in the year or late 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
