There's a clue in the other name for Chinese goosegogs.........Kiwifruit.

On the strength of that I'll ask a question.

Does anyone know who pinched my Stihl strimmer in Halewood.

Multiple choice answers.


1. A scouser.

2. A scouser.

or

3. A scouser.

No, I'm sure it's no 3.

Actually, we've done Dugout out of a turn, but never mind.
My question: Of which novel is this the opening line?

'It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York.'

Well, you're reading too much into the clue. It's 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia. (Victoria Lucas?? confised )
Your turn, Compo.

You surely don't expect us to spell it!

It's in New Zealand and means something like "the village by the hill where uncle george met the chief of the enemies and shagged his daughter in public on a tuesday". There are loads of letter 'U's in it.

edit: didn't someone make it into a song?
