I’ve decided to treat Daniel’s post as an appeal. And, upon re-reading and reconsideration, his question could have been about last Friday, rather than about the first ‟important” event.jdaw1 wrote:djewesbury wrote:Your wife held a book club meeting?It was the ‟again” that suggested an understanding of what the two events had in common.LGTrotter wrote:the book club again.
Justice would be better served by declaring Daniel the victor.
Unless Owen has a question at the ready.

Re: One quiz at a time
I did something I have not done since 2004, last Saturday, at 12.30pm. I drank something while I did it. What did I do and what did I drink? Both parts are essential. One will be guessed before the other, I presume. Knowing one will not help with the other.
