Morning, CC folks.

Thank God 'Palindrome Day' is over.

Morning Rick & Jules, how's things? Yes, a palindrome free day is declared.

A pleasant evening here in the Antipodes... broken only by the eastern koel's monotonous calling.
It goes on for hours early morning and now again at sunset.

There are a pair of Tawny Owls near my Flat, that make very pretty noises late at night.

There have been some seriously perverted suggestions and confessions on this endless thread but Rick listening to owl sex all night has to be one of the most disturbing

I think he was referring to lesbian Brownie leaders.

Gives a new meaning to having your cake and eating it.

The CC will not die today. Not on my watch.

Great rescue act, Julius, that was a close one.

All we need now is Shah, rick, TLD, super, Dolphin, Hibbz, sean, kingraf and Tino to chip in and we'll be alright.

And Jeff. Don't forget Jeff.

Jeff won't post. It's beneath him.

the thread from a year ago, while Tino was still alive, sean was occasionally sober and such things were not too far beneath Jeff.

Morning, just flitting through as back to back meetings until 13:00

Will put a quiz up later... Honest.

I see that Julius is doing some impressive lion-taming on the political bickering thread. I won't disrupt his momentum by pointing out the unfortunate grammatical error in his last post.

Worst quiz ever!

Possibly one of the worst weeks ever!

I hope everybody's weekend is better than this painful week for the CC. We did manage to get through though... which was good.
However, I'm still optimistic someone will come up with a quiz by the end of next week, Julius.

Probably someone with the skill, the passion, a proven wordsmith ability, experience hosting similar quizzes live at clubs, the sheer what-about-ery, the one who has already done some successful ones on here recently. Someone who generally has good grammar, a decent general knowledge and a general zest to take the General Quizzing Master [GQM] lead role in these difficult global quiz downturn times.

Evening Jules.

Yes, maybe a bit harsh on the significance of the palindrome.

Good use of the link function in the political thread proving lions' Brexit statistic wrong. I didn't bother reading but I'm sure it's correct.
Game, Set... Match... to you old boy.
