At this festive time of the year the newspapers are full of quizzes compiled by lazy idle columnists who can’t be bothered to write their usual column.) “Oh bollocks to ‘em, they’ll all be chilling out if they’re not pissed out of their brains so why shouldn’t I?†Taking a leaf out if their book then, or more rather their newspaper, here is a quiz from a blogger who can’t bothered to write his usual blog. The difference is that I’ve been even lazier than the columnists inasmuch as in my quiz I have provided the answers and you have to supply the questions. So here it is for better or worse (probably worse) –
Â
Note. You can only use the question ‘Who is the biggest twat who ever lived?†once, tempting through some of the answers are.
The question to the answer Scaryduck is not ‘Who would Razzamatazz most like to spend a night in bed with?’ although this is the answer to one of the questions.
You can’t use the same question to answer 8 and 9.
ANSWERS
1. Tony Blair
2. Manchester United
3. Haemorrhoids
4. Kristin Scott Thomas
5. Saddam Hussein
6. My left testicle
7. JonnyB
8. Bono
9. A pretentious prick
10. Mount Everest
11. My arse
12. Shergar
13. Keira Knightly
14. A hole in a condom
15. Atkins Down The Road
16. John Prescott
17. A Chihuahua
18. Snot
19. Challenge Anneka
20. Santa Claus
Good luck

Hi. I’m Terry Ravenscroft, I’m aged 67 and…..whoooah, come back, I’m not ready to have the lid nailed down on my coffin just yet. Anyway I’m a very young 67. (About five years ago I went to see Pulp at the Manchester Evening News Arena. I was older than everyone else by at least 35 years. The eighteen-year-old next to me asked me if I’d ever been to the venue before. I replied ‘Yes I saw George Formby here once’. She’d never heard of him.)
This blog is going to be about my life and the way I see things. Before I retired I was a comedy scriptwriter for Les Dawson and Smith and Jones amongst others so there’s a sporting chance that some of the things I write will be funny. One of the reasons I’m writing this blog, although by no means the only reason, is because I have a website www.topcomedy.co.uk which I hope you will log on to occasionally. I have yet to meet anybody who doesn’t like Dear Air 2000….
My hobbies are walking, playing crown green bowls, watching football, birdwatching , cooking, and, according to The Trouble, moaning. Oh, and I have a thing about Kristen Scott Thomas.
A couple of people I will be mentioning from time to time are The Trouble and Atkins Down The Road. The Trouble is my wife. I don’t call her The Trouble because it’s cockney rhyming slang for ‘wife, trouble and strife’, but because she has the habit of starting sentences, especially to me, with the words ‘The trouble with you is….’ Then goes on to complete the rest of the sentence with words like ‘you never listen when I’m talking to you’ or ‘you never see the other person’s point of view’ or some such other frivolous complaint. Atkins Down The Road is my best friend and lives, not surprisingly, down the road.
I started a weblog a couple of years ago but stopped doing it to write a novel about golf called ‘A Good Walk Spoiled.’ If you want to read the weblog it can be found on my website, if you want to read the novel it can be found on my other website, Razzamatazz, at www.razza.fsnet.co.uk along with lots of other things.

Is “ruthless yet now pathetic figure, once a self-styled ‘father’ of his peoples yet now destined to be hanged by the mob” the answer to question seven?
