Gino Dercola Caley The Scotsman (10.06.11.) had a page on the multi-million-pound makeover which is to be given to the Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh. It cited it as "The haunt of the stars" and listed a few of the celebrities who stayed at the hotel. Laurel and Hardy were included. The item was spotted by Bob Morrison.
Jigsaw puzzle: Ug! Guess what teachers get up to on their holidays! It was like a scene with the Boys getting waylayed and the frustration with all the shades of grey. At least there wasn't a wedding or police! But it's done. Grant Macleod Do Detectives Think? We had an excellent meeting on Monday 11th July with over thirty Brats in attendance, including Drew and Marie Murray who were visiting from Denmark. The highlight of the evening occurred when the raffle was drawn. After selling the tickets, Grand Sheik Heppy invited the younger members of the tent to draw the tickets. The first ticket drawn was number 990. After shouting the number several times, Heppy remembered that Duncan Whysall had bought the last two tickets and inquired what the numbers were - "991 and 992" was the answer, to which another voice shouted out, "And I bought the ticket before Duncan and my ticket is number 989!" However, what started out as a strange occurrence became even more bizarre when two draws later Heppy announced that the next winning ticket was 996. Based upon the fact that the last ticket sold was 992 how could 996 have been drawn? To howls of laughter Bev Johnson shouted to Heppy, "How can it be 996 as both 996 tickets are still in the book?" as she showed the ticket book to everyone, which clearly showed that ticket 996 had not been used.
The raffle was a moment of real hilarity which will go down in the annals of tent folklore &endash; and of course the mystery of ticket 996 was eventually resolved when the ticket was turned upside down and revealed the true identity as being 966! But what did happen to ticket 990? Alas, we may never know! John Burton |

On Weakest Link (13.07.11.) the question was asked, "Abbott was to Costello as Laurel was to who?" The contestant got it right.
