Know Your Literary Onions? - Take the Test!

As y'all well know, we try to cater for all tastes on this 'ere blog so it's about time we gave you high-brow types the chance to strut your stuff on our (cyber) world stage! And to bring you on board we've created a special Quotations Quiz to test your wits and see how yizzers all fare out.

So brainboxes, can you tell your literary swedes from your comical turnips - or maybe that should be your switerary leeds from your tomical curnips - by matching the correct quote to the genius who wrote it? Was it, either, 20th century literary colossus, James Joyce, or was it the worthy heir to his lofty throne, the inimitable ... Ronnie Barker?

 Onnnn yer marks, set get ...

Whose Line is it Anyway!?
  1. "How about chickens? Darles Chickens. One of our most nipping grovelists."
    2. Ronnie Barker James Joyce

One point for a right answer. Highest score (self-assessed, of course!) wins the usual prize - the chance to drink a discount-priced pint of Tuborg with yours truly down the Beggars - at a time of my choosing. Meantime, good luck and look good, brainboxes! (offer ends 31/1/2016).

More soon ...

Reft to light: Boyce and Jarker, maybe down the Beggars!
