Hello everybooby,
It's been one long hard day of Robbopopping, but I have just arrived back home, poured myself a nice pint of OSH, and I am now slumped on the sofa just in time for the TTFNPequiz.

Yay! woohoo

Let's hope I don't nod off, fall off, go off or blow off during the next gripping hour and a bit!

I have been through the sheepdip*, and I am fully cleansed and purified in readiness for the challenge.

* Through it, not on it. drink

Evening glenners! Are you on a day rate for this babysitting malarky?

Anyone else joining in the madness, if so, kindly take your seats charge your glasses and prepare for one (1) hour of mind numbingly trivial questions!

Dear Signor Cheeseman,
Rest assured that not all of PH is infested with self-opinionated vitriolic point-scoring dheads who like nothing better than stirring up a nest of hornets with their nasty trolling posts on the likes of NP&E etc.
I ignore all that st and just chill here at Trivial Towers, where the company is amiable and welcoming even if things get a bit surreal at times.
Just calm yourself, chill out aand have a drop of this fine Absinthe... drink


There, you feel a little better already, don't you?
