Great idea, this game!

"Nobody was in the least surprised when Jo-Jo and Kiki took First Prize at the All England Latin American Dance Championship, for the third year running!"

I've been racking my brains, but (as often happens) there's not a clue jangling around in there anywhere. Oh well. I'll try the next one.

That'd teach Jo-Jo to take Dame Screech's magic feather duster without permission!

"Let's see now; what was it he said? Float like a parrot; sting like a wasp? Nope, that don't sound right..."

Jo-Jo couldn't believe how racist Blyton was, depicting Ki-ki as WHITE!

[Moose:] "Jo-Jo couldn't believe how racist Blyton was, depicting Ki-ki as WHITE!"

In the original text by Enid Blyton, Jo-Jo was a black man and Kiki was a scarlet and grey parrot. Modern editors have made both characters white - and yet critics accuse Blyton of racism!

(Not to take away anything from your caption, Moose. In the illustrations, Kiki does indeed look white.)

I'll give it a couple of days, then anounce a winner, if that's all right.

Ming · Post by **Ming** » 03 Feb 2007, 12:34

Very much all right!

This bird was sound asleep till I came along with a jug of water, and tripped, spilling it over her. Get away from me bird! Get away I said!

I was tempted to give it Heather! I can imagine Jo-Jo saying that (but I realise she wasn't quoting!)

And The Winner Is....

KITTY

Well done, Kitty. Well done everyone else, too!
