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

But you have been gifted 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.

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.

Please let us know each half as it is guessed.

You bet on a horse race and you drank Sherry.

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