Re: Quiz - Wednesday 8th July


No idea-but it sounds like a polite way of saying a bit too large for one`s girdle

Re: Quiz - Wednesday 8th July


hmmmm it's a funny one this, the dictionary def is "The condition of being plump; stoutness." (Fr. In good condition )

So Eileen is right. But I assume that in days when most people starved being plump or stout was indeed being in good condition.

Re: Quiz - Wednesday 8th July


The results are:

Steph 23 (well done, the winner)
Calismum 20 (very close second) and
Dandysmom 16 - a very worthy third, esp due to dial-up!

Will you be OK for next week Steph???

Re: Quiz - Wednesday 8th July


Well done Steph.

Great quiz angieh, I love learning new things and once again I've expanded my hoard of 'useless information' as OH calls it - what a cheek, huh.

No probs - I'll do that.

Steph, I do hope things are ok. If it helps I've been there twice and on both occasions all was fine! I'll be hoping for the same outcome for you both

CM x

Re: Quiz - Wednesday 8th July


Congrats, Steph, and we understand why this isn't a good time for you. Well done too, CM. I can't blame dial-up, just plain didn't know some of the answers!

Angie, a great quiz as usual; you always come up with such interesting questions!
