I have asked my brother to suggest 5 comedies to sneak quotes into the review from; this will make the writing of this post more improvisational. The only rules are they have to be comedies and they have to be scripted. This can be a play, a book, a movie, or a tv show. His selections:


  • Brooklyn 99
  • Big Bang Theory 
  • Miranda 
  • Johnny English
  • Life of Brian 

I won't highlight where these are in the post; you'll have to search for them.

He also said to make it more 'commissioned' (my word not his), I should also incorporate somehow:

The top job advertised on a random job website 

One front page item from a random news website

I used Indeed.com (Jobs in Lichfield) and BBC News. 

The results were 

Night Operations Co ordinator - Lichfield WS13 8NQ - Indeed.com

(I haven't chosen the news item yet but there will be several references to the World Cup)

Let's get Quizzical!

 Happy December! Of course, you know what that means - Merry Christmas! The bad news is, the quiz has already started. The good news is, you can still sign up, although you may find it harder to catch up. The first day you sign up, you may receive the clue late, but your  score will be adjusted to reflect this (eg, if I send you the first clue at 13:00, you can get the maximum points by answering before 13:29). You will not be sent clues from previous days to catch up, sorry. By the following day, I should be able to get you on the clue list at the normal time See below instructions on how to sign up WARNING: THE RULES THIS YEAR ARE A BIT WORDY, SO SKIP TO THE BOTTOM PARAGRAPH IF YOU WANT A TL;DR This year, the theme (chosen by last year’s winner Raring to Snow ) is: CONSONANTS O NLY Full explanation of what that means here . If you can, email  xmasmoviequiz@gmail.com , saying you want to join the quiz and including your team name. Of course, the usual rules apply when su...

I predict that because of the new scoring system, we will be left with a tie at the end of the quiz. If this happens, I have a tiebreaker ready, but in the meantime, I thought I could try to break the tie. Every weekend, I will be sending out a new clue in the style of the above words. This time though, you have to find Christmas songs.  This time, all correct answers will receive 300 points (these can be really hard), regardless of time or order, but will go down each week. The current value is written next to them. The first clue: Mbusciltough aupndh whykn - Now worth 100 points The second clue: Sthe Aknoughthi Dhei - Now worth 200 points The third clue: Leoghtghtleea Ddwroumbmbeawr Bboeigh  - Worth 300 points Good luck!
