Happy Friday all! And to any Madagascans - happy Independence Day! NEWS - Happy Friday is evolving into 'Happy Bloody Friday' - bit of a rebranding exercise - go to HappyBloodyFriday.blogspot.com and bookmark it!

This week's Quiz For A Pint - what do the following all have in common? - koala bear, prairie dog, firefly, silkworm and a guinea pig? Last week's QFAP answer was Alphonse Capone!

Naturally this morning; RIP to Michael Jackson - he touched so many. I'll save the rest for next week ;-) Weather this weekend should be hot and muggy, highs of around 25. Have a great weekend all! R

Happy Friday everyone! And to any Yanks - happy Juneteeth! It celebrates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in 1865. Thanks for all the birthday wishes last week - I got drunk hehe. Crap weather we've had, eh? Tues & Wed will be hot though - highs of 24-25 maybe?

Last week's Quiz For A Pint answer was the side of a £1 coin (Decus et tutamen - Latin; an ornament and a safeguard). This week's QFAP - what is Al Capone's first name? On the topic, did you know that Gordon Brown's first name is actually James?! And that the Sesame Street's Cookie Monster first ever appearance was in an IBM training video!

How do you spot Will Smith in a snow storm? Look for the Fresh Prints! Ha! Enjoy the weekend guys :-) R

Welcome to Happy Bloody Friday!

To any newcomers - welcome to Happy Bloody Friday, or HBF for short. It started out as a text-circular amongst friends in 2008, and trending topics came to include a bit of trivia, a 'Quiz For A Pint', any birthday celebrations, the occasional tasteless joke and sometimes a very inaccurate weekend weather forecast.
Before long, that 'text to friends' was 3-texts long, and going out to almost 100 people every week. Needless to say, I very quickly became Vodafone's number one customer.
