Q4 Your senior officer wants you to perform a duet with him on stage to entertain the troops. Do you?

a)Say 'no way' performing an Elton John song would completely undermine my artistic integrity!

b) Realise the moment you open your mouth to sing you will sound like Titanic leaving port and decline gracefully with your reputation intact.

c) Say 'show me the mic' and drag him on stage taking every opportunity to enjoy the dance moves and sly winks.

d) Know when your bluff has been called and decline on the grounds of a sore throat!

I have an alternative answer to q3!!! Ladies you're going too fast, don't leave me behind! I need an E) you very carefully lift the army-regulation-folded items in the man's wardrobe and sniff them one by one, trying not to leave saliva trails that could compromise you...

Q4- would be an A for me. Happy to sing even Dolly Parton (particularly if I can embarrass DS1) but elton? No way!

good answer cherin

Q4... CCCCCCCCCCCCC

orphan knowing my luck it would probably be d) although don't of course possess said mules!

Actually, Cherin I was considering an option that involved what the clothes actually smelled like!

In RL afghan I really would not care to know....but now thanks to SPO I am left thinking CJ smells of good pipe tobacco...

(SPO in the meantime must be busy stocking up on Nutella...;-)

LAST ONE - promise!

Q5 You are tasked with checking out the interior of truck at an Afghan checkpoint to identify a known Taliban insurgent. Do you?

a) Wonder why the lady in black at the back of the truck hasn't plucked her eyebrows recently and think you'd better giver her a few personal grooming tips later.

b) Wonder why a man trying to hide as a woman hasn't decided to wear the full burkha.

c) Identify the insurgent and run for your life in the opposite direction screaming 'it's Badrai' and hope that he doesn't get the hint you've eyeballed him

d) Remember your training and actually raise your gun and radio for help.

A, B and C

By the way Icemist what was the quote about BA from? At least RichTea knows that BA wasn't deliberately standing her up last week. Hopefully good news for him, anyway.

Have you all been getting your husbands to review Our Zombie Girl?

sorry I can't resist a final teaser:
Question: your senior officer is seriously injured and is laying in a hospital bed looking vulnerable, lost and extremely hot despite the tubes and drip, do you:
A) snog his face off
B) give him a bed bath
C) after stroking his hair full of Afghan grime, offer to give it a wash
D) all of the above plus another bed bath

orphan answer B, not rushing into anything!

rhubarb
Q4 within seconds the following would occur a, b, c ...in that order
Q5 a & b combined, then e shoot the bloke and then skip off into he distance with CJ (under the assumption no previous shooting had occurred).

cjwoofwoof ha, easy...CBAD, then s'il vous plaît

Crickey just joining in from mamouth VAT return!
cjwoof obviously D

icemist what's Ben doing up a mountain ? And do you think he needs rescuing?????

ha, missed then 'repeat' s'il vous plaît

A B C D ADADADADAD

icemist thanks for posting the stuff on Google docs. I will possibly not be able to look at it before Thursday though. I have been really good tonight and have kept off this for about three hours but have been trying to set a work-type charity quiz we do every year. It's part pub quiz, part picture quiz etc. I usually do the questions with a few company related things thrown in for good measure but couldn't resist asking my colleague to add in a couple of OG photos. He recognised LT of course because of East Enders but hadn't a clue who BA was. I realised I could have set a whole GCSE (if not A level) paper on OG. We'd all pass with flying colours! No, not GCSE or A level, let's go for University Challenge!

OMG, I leave you alone for a few hours and what do you get up to!! I love those quizzes (better than the ones I've been setting tonight). I've literally been laughing out loud. We are all totally MAD!

Interesting news about Ben in Canada. NVM and Richtea will be relieved they weren't personally stood up. I still think halfway up a mountain in Canada is his way of hiding from us.

Off to bed now. I need my beauty sleep otherwise it's more Clarins beauty flash in the morning.

Its the answer one of the OG directors gave when asked why BA wasn't tweeting about the radio times poll.
Still cant work it out :(
That group are peeing me off again do ive started including #CJCollective if Itweet about the show

Well D of course, what else?

Goodness me what have you been up to! I take some time out to go buy a multipack of Nutella and watch Remember Me on i player from behind the sofa (I am easily frightened by scary ghost stuff) and have missed the OG quiz night.

Oh and by the way thanks icemist for posting my latest chapter.

Well done icemist we don't want them to think we are part of that mad crazy lot!!! #CJCollective are literary geniuses!!! (Not me, but want to be in the gang!).

if BA is up a mountain filming he must be wearing a lumberjack soft brushed cotton shirt, chopping wood, wiping sweat off his brow, maybe so hot he has to un button his shirt. He is probably staying in a log cabin with a log fire and a fur rug....

Maybe he's a Mountie! Nothing like another role in uniform complete with fetching hat!
