So I just need to find some more hours in my day to Stumble more?  Where is that time thing that Hermione had in the Harry Potter books?  That would come in real handy.

I'm not sure that I am allowed to think about what Hermione had or didn't have rsmiley

Seriously though, the time multiplier thingo that allowed her to be two places at once?

Cheers, Andrew

Weddings, parties, anything - my rates are extremely reasonable rsmiley

(Well, actually they are a fair bit, but I like to think that I give value for money) rsmiley

I wasn't talking about dating rsmiley

"I am not free but my rates are extremely reasonable" is the stock response to any paraphrasure of "Are you free?" - I don't make the rules rsmiley

I'm a consultant and my rates are (by industry standards for the work I do) a fair amount based on what I actually achieve, but they are still a lot of money (hence I give 100% of my attention to clients when I am billing).

So, a bit of a consultant joke mixed into the double entendre there rsmiley

Best regards, Andrew

Don't worry - I don't think my husband would be happy with me going on a 'date' either  rsmiley It was my sarcastic humour at play!!!

We go to a trivia night once a year for Irabina Childhood Autism Services (early intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Victoria) and generally end up with our table coming 1st or 2nd. I thought you might help us be a shoo in for 1st place  rgrin *sarcastic humour again*

I really like Trivia nights. If I can get away with it I cheat mercilessly (so long as there is mobile broadband coverage to my phone - Google makes an excellent "phone a friend") rsmiley

I used to love our Soccer club trivia nights. I knew the organisers really well so she used to give me lots of hints and while everyone else used to buy an answer for $1 each, our table would get 4-5 answers for $1. Money well spent I say, especially the year that our tabe won.

You are only allowed to buy 1 answer per round at our trivia nights......... Last year we did quite well, we were somewhere in the middle, but won heaps of prizes in the continous raffle draws & end of round bonus questions. Our quiz master is the local highway patrol copper and he'd give other P & F committe members hints lol

We managed to take first prize the last couple of weeks at the Robbo Pub. Don't know how with the Aussie sports questions - but it seems we get enough of the other ones right to make up for it. First place is a free dinner, which is worth the effort. We sometimes take the spot prize which is a bottle of $4 red wine; and which is barely suitable for gravy.

I've only ever been to 2 trivia nights {both in previous lives} and won both times so decided to quit while I was ahead....prizes on both occasions was a case of wine to be shared amongst the table of 4! Had worse prizes I have to say. It was actually quite good wine too..bonus!

lol  I can't wait to move away from where I'm living.  It's the only place around here where you can buy a coffee.
