2. close. Think more of Shah's former habit and the product of a volcano. Then combine the two words. _ _ _ + _ _ _

10. Better give you the puce.

6. You got the Key Lime Pie though.

by **Pal Joey** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 11:11 am

Coastline is about 2200km and minerals are phosphate?

by **Pal Joey** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 11:16 am

Have a stab at the immigrant one. OK, it's between 5.0 and 6.0%

It must be heaven for Cubans until recently.

by **ShahenshahG** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 11:17 am

Coastline is 1300 or 1400 miles

by **Pal Joey** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 11:19 am

ShahenshahG wrote:Coastline is about 2200km and minerals are phosphate?

Not bad. So you are saying approximately 1367 miles? Yes. I had 1350 miles.

You went to pot on the other one though, mate.

Perhaps. Hopefully not that dreadful Villa shirt! He wouldn't dare.

by **ShahenshahG** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 11:21 am

Potash is a mineral?

by **Pal Joey** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 11:24 am

ShahenshahG wrote:Potash is a mineral?

I hope so. You are right anyway.

Potash is any of various mined and manufactured salts that contain potassium in water-soluble form. A couple of minerals in there, no?

by **seanmichaels** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 11:27 am

Potash one of the key elements for grass growth

by **ShahenshahG** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 11:31 am

They have sod farms over there Seany. Why ain't you already there?

by **Pal Joey** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 11:31 am

seanmichaels wrote:Potash one of the key elements for grass growth

I put that one in there for you, mate.
Don't tell anyone about this fact before you leave work for the last time today. (are you sad or relieved... or no hard feelings really?)
Keep the bastards guessing, OK?

Not sure. I have wanted to leave for 7 years of the 8. This probably the happiest I've been here though. Just got a nice email from Head of OPs asking for my mobile and that he'll help me out if I am struggling to get a job. I did once catch him doing the bolivian bingo dust at Ascot races though.

I hope you haven't been googling behind my back, Shah.

You know what the punishment for that is?

That's right. You have to write:
"I, for the life of me, shall not google during a Culture Cup Quiz ever, ever again, Insha'Allah."
1000 times with your hands tied behind your head at the thumbs at sea level.

Does that mean he will have to change his Big Issue vendor of choice?

Wow. It's the same here with the major banks. When someone gets the boot... more heavy dirt comes to the surface. Careers well destroyed.

Nice of him to send you that email. Watch your back just in case for the next 7 years or so.

I didn't realise the gopher tortoise has been the State reptile since 2008.

Spoiler:

Thought it would have been the alligator or the green iguana.

by **Pal Joey** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 12:01 pm

A. 1503

D. 1526

9. About how many feral pigs are there in the state of Florida?

A. Nearly 300,000
B. About 500,000
C. Almost 750,000
D. Over 1,000,000

by Guest Fri 29 Jan 2016, 12:55 pm

For all important and hilarious matters relating to Florida read anything by Dave Barry, Carl Hiassen, Tim Dorsey or Lawrence Shames

by **Pal Joey** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 1:34 pm

They all sound like good writers, Serial. I'm into descriptive and funny stories set in interesting locations.

The final two answers to the quiz were B and B. 1513 and about 500,000 feral pigs.

by **superflyweight** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 2:06 pm

I can second Dave's recommendation of Carl Hiassen. Read a few of his books and they've all been very good.

by **seanmichaels** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 2:28 pm

I caan recommend Blyton.

by Guest Fri 29 Jan 2016, 3:21 pm

The Faraway Tree is a particular favourite of mine

by **ShahenshahG** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 3:23 pm

And mine also dave. It represent my weedless life at the present moment.

by **seanmichaels** Fri 29 Jan 2016, 3:27 pm

Book representing my life would be Orwell's 1984. Feels like 1984 was the last time I got any action

When sean put ''my life'', ''got any action'' and ''Orwell'' in the same post my mind automatically went to:

''The creatures outside looked from pig to man, from man to pig and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to tell which was which''
