Diana was at work.
for myself I posted Sunday's blog which took a bit of time, made a few changes on the shops web page watched some television, and that was about it, Diana returned home in the afternoon, after our evening meal we watched a couple of Antiques Road Trips, no more BattleBots I am afraid, I guess it was not popular with the viewing audience, a shame but there it is, next a new one for Diana, but a old favorite for myself,
Call My Bluff, the game comprised two teams of three (a captain and two
guests) who would compete to earn points by identifying the correct definitions
of obscure words. The teams took turns to give three definitions, one true and
two bluffs, while the other team attempted to determine which was correct, examples
of words used in the show, taken from a 1972 book published in connection with
it, include queach, strongle, ablewhacket, hickboo, jargoon, zurf, morepork,
and jirble. The word queach was defined by the contestants as "a malicious
caricature", "a cross between a quince and a peach" and "a
mini-jungle of mixed vegetation" (with the last definition being the true
one), it was great fun and amazingly Diana did in fact choose the correct definition more often than I did,
the program was broadcast between 17 October 1965 to 22 December 1988, I have
to admit I enjoyed it at the time and so did many others as can be seen from
the number of shows that were broadcast, there were 12 series shown on BBC1 and
25 series on BBC2, BBC1 showing 469 episodes and 542 episodes in BBC2, just over 1,000 episodes, amazing! after which Diana was off to bed, for myself a Have I Got A Bit More News For You before I too was off to bed.
