WriterNick · 21-08-2011, 12:13 PM

As you may know I and lots of other SW people have been down in the dumps about poor old Wilma Pie Thompson, a brave little tort, passing away and Lynn is suffering with toothache, the weather is up and down like an up and down thing and the looters are getting off on appeal. We need something to cheer us up - so here is a special 'HAPPY' themed quiz!

20) Happy was one of the seven dwarfs - can you name the other six? A point for each!
Sneezy, Sleepy, Doc, Dopey, Bashful, Grumpy and Cowell (I may have got that last one wrong)

TIE BREAK DECIDER: send a one liner joke with your entry, there is a point simply for sending one but in the event of a tie I will judge which one is best/corniest!

As it is a late notice quiz I will extend the entry time until 9pm on MONDAY 22nd August, so please have a go folks and remember to smile at everyone that you see today!

The results are in and can you believe it - two entries both tied for 1st place with 10points. As both Caledonia and Cathers submitted happily corny jokes they were still impossible to split! Therefore I declare it a TIE!
1st - CALEDONIA
1st - CATHERS

Thanks for entering
