Morning all,
Wx seems unable to decide, it's supposed to be a nice day but as on the other side it's failing at present.

Gorra new gardener about to appear. SM is in charge of matters green so we will see.

She has planned a trip to Bahaus (like a German B & Q) for this afternoon, there may be a blue and yellow extension as it is not far away.
Might get away with not going yet.

Hearing aid seems ok under most circumstances, fine with the TV and Mobile. Can't decide on the best setting and there is only one program enabled.
All remote control from my phone.
One of our A/C units, which are being used for heating, causes white noise type interferance, I'm sat about 5m away and behind a wall and can still hear it.
In the lounge area it is quite loud.

Too far east. I thought this was an easy one. I'm sure many of you have been to this beautiful city.

Hang on guys I am saying the Japs eat turkey for Christmas lunch not that it is Turkey in the WoE thread. What has everyone been drinking today?

Sorry I've screwed this up by thinking Turkey was the answer to the geographic challenge, which we've now established is hungry, I mean Hungary.

That said HE STARTED IT !!!! (Wodrick) by posting on the wrong thread.

Now can we go back to Trivia Question of the Day, to which my answer about what Japanese eat on Christmas Day was **** Fried Buzzard, which some may know as KFC.

Wow, that was surreal, briefly booted into a parallel universe where everything made perfect sense, but now back in the normal one.

Is it sushi?

As Bob2s hasn't been back, I'll restate my original answer about what do Japanese eat at Christmas.
The answer is **** Fried Buzzard/Kentucky Fried Chicken/Fried Chicken ..... by any other name. クリスマスはケンタッキー

Next challenge then : An easy one for someone perhaps to solve even before the server goes down.

At what point do the Fahrenheit and Centigrade/Celsius temperature scales coincide?

Sorry but your answer was a bit of a turkey as it wasn't specific enough.

Clue on the 'F and 'C one. it would freeze your bits off!
