Win The Lemon
« Thread Started on Jun 25, 2009, 8:13pm »
Yes folks, as is my want, a competition to celebrate the release of another new book - this time The Lemon & Other Short Stories. This is a bit different from other competitions, it is a multiple choice quiz based on things in the book. Of course, it might be tricky as nobody has read the book yet, but give it your best shot and the person with the most correct answers will win the copy. In the event of a tie I will have to flip a coin. If more than two people tie...well I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!

Here are the questions. Just respond in your thread here with your answers. Right, here goes:

1. Where did I attempt to buy a pint for £1.50?

Sheffield
Bath
Manchester
Glasgow

2. What music was I listening to in my car when I was driving down a wrong lane?

Ozric Tentacles "Sploosh!"
Pink Floyd "Us And Them"
Howard Jones "Hide & Seek"
Kajagoogoo "Two Shy Shy"

3. Which town/city did I meet my first girl off the internet after weeks of e-mail and chat?

Weymouth
Frome
Bristol
London

4. Which birthday was I violently sick at?

18th
21st
22nd
30th

5. What malady affected my old next door neighbour?

Arthritis
Whooping Cough
Blindness
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

There we go, good luck!!! :)

Alright, alright...I'll have a go! I have used the rather cunning tactic of choosing the answers I think least likely to be correct (clever, huh?).

Thank goodness for insomnia, or I'd have never gotten around to entering this competition ;)

1) Glasgow
2) Ozric Tentacles "Sploosh!"
3) London
4) 30th
5) Whooping Cough

Johny and Siouxsievamp have two right, which is more than Crowman and Cazoo, who earned 1 and 0 respectively...

The winning answers were:

1. Manchester
2. Pink Floyd
3. Weymouth
4. 21st
5. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Therefore, the winning copy goes to Johny OR Siouxsievamp...so here's a question for you both to answer:

How many girls have I physically met from initial contact on the internet?

Think of a number, the closest to the actual number wins!!

Oh my word...this isn't easy :o I'll say.......12 (what if the answer is 11 though, we're both 1 away either side of that!). Right, my final answer will be 8. Not sure why, just feels right...

And the winner is...

*drum roll*...

Siouxsievamp!

A signed copy of 'The Lemon' will be winging its way to you just a soon as it is released (in post-formatting stages now, I am expecting my own copy next week, so it won't be long).

As for the actual answer to how many girls I've met from initial contact on the Internet, well, I shocked myself the other day by counting them up, and I must say it is greater than 10!!!

The exact number, I feel, should remain a mystery lol.

Therefore Sue, you were closest. Well done!
