It is your punishment for the exponential fiasco. Live with it.

It was the ‟again” that suggested an understanding of what the two events had in common.

But you have been gifted the question.

I have no question but it was an 'Ahem' of the type I have found useful on these occasions before.

I am taking a moment to collect my thoughts.

Three words; 'sore' and 'loser' being two of them.

Daniel is up by popular vote.

What is the question?

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.

Justice would be better served by declaring Daniel the victor.

Unless Owen has a question at the ready.

Are your future thoughts at least approximately proportionate to the current state?

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.

You drank champagne?

Please let us know each half as it is guessed.

You bet on a horse race and you drank Sherry.

I call foul. This is two unconnected quizzes.

Nobody has guessed either part. They are connected. I did them at the same time.

I mean; Lindy hop and cocktails.

Did you have the same drink whilst doing "it" in 2004?

Lager and a football match?

Tossing the caber and drinking whisky.

Not the very same; but one of the same category.

Nice guess. No. Never baptised. Father C of E, Mother a Hindu educated by Loreto nuns. No religious upbringing!

Not with sufficient focus, no; that's to say, I was unaware of not doing these things.

Are you implying that Daniel has ceaselessly tossed the caber since 2004?

Played croquet and drank cider?

It has no significance except that's when I did these things. Who can say, perhaps that's useful to know.

Not wearing Lederhosen. Riesling is closer.

Did "these things" have to be (or were best) done during daylight hours?

Very true. Father Fallon told me it was a mortal sin.
