Uptight, no, bemused, yes.

:lol:

Right, lets get this cleared up once and for all, because my dinners nearly ready........I am going to set a ski quiz...I might need a week or so, I shall put up a prize, I will research all questions myself and it won't be as hard as Pavel's, are we up for that one my little sweethearts, everyone in favour say Aye..... :hunf: :hunf:

No, but it was sweet of you to ask before which will avoid any fuss later in case you complain what a thankless task it was we'll be able to point out it was an unsolicited task (which by and large, most thankless tasks turn out to be) :-)

No more quizzes please :evil:

Instead of a quiz, we could do an opinion poll, with a certain result so that there are no arguments afterwards.

How many people think I will get the farmhouse (my parents old holiday cottage) next door to us, ready for holidaymakers this Friday?

I haven't quite finished the painting yet, I still have to clean the 'tar' from the lower part of the old huge chimney, I've got to seal the slate window sills (8 of them) I've got all the crockery in boxes etc., the bedlinen is all mixed up and in boxes, the carpenter's coming tomorrow to splice in some wood in the rotten windows, I've got to re-hang the curtains, I've got to work out what we haven't got and go and buy it (e.g. I've just remembered I haven't supplied rubber gloves), and the electricians still have some minor work to do, the downstairs shower room needs all the grout to be deep cleaned plus the tiled floor, I've got to work out why the telephones aren't working right, plus I have to clean everywhere when everything else is finished and make up 5 beds.

As far as I can see there are 3 possible scenarios.
1. I stay up all night and work all day and everything gets done and it all turns out O.K.

2. I get some minor complaints about the things I haven't finished yet.

3. The holidaymakers run away and complain and find somewhere else and I get in big trouble with the agents (I've never had a complaint yet in 11 years with our other cottage).

There are no prizes for correct guesses.
Solution sometime after 3 p.m. on Friday when the guests arrive.

I'd expect that would be the same, the cheerleaders blithely voting away assuming anyone that thought "oh, god, not again" but was too polite to say it was just as eager :D or someone did say "oh, god, not again" they'd be immediately lynched :lol: which is the way of lynch mobs of course, while half a dozen are saddling up the rest of the village is shuffling around embarrassed muttering "I've a good mind to say something" :lol: :lol:


PS, for your question, personally clean wins over anything for me :D where are these places btw?

Me to, clean wins every time.

Ise,
This is Pembrokeshire, holiday hotspot during the summer, because of our amazing beaches, islands, etc. etc. We have 3 houses here - we live in one and do 2 as holiday cottages.

Back to work now,

Ally

I still think a Quiz would be good fun :mrgreen:
