A Trip in a Rocket

Chris Maslanka
- Ronald Raygun counts down the launching of a
rocket to send the panellists into space:
8,7,2,5,1,5,5,7,8,2,7,5,8,4………
How and why would the countdown
continue?
I’m a rocket pro-a little bit wild, perhaps,
but who am I?

Geoffrey Durham
- Which word is the odd man out?
ally battery brandy dusty
naughty party shifty

Rob Eastaway
- I used to work in an office where people made
their own tea by reaching into the box and picking out a tea bag. It was
one of those boxes where the tea bags came in pairs, so you would find two
tea bags joined to each other. When you made a cup of tea you either
reached in and picked out a double, and you would have to tear one off, or
you picked out a single.
I went away for a month and when I came back I
went to make my first cup of tea and as I reached out to put my hand in
the box, I thought am I more likely to pick out a double or a single tea
bag?

Val Gilbert
- On my travels around Britain I saw a scold’s
funeral, an isolated naked lady, ancient pig meat, a headless shell, a
plain cathedral, and-from the sounds of it-an anorexic.
Where have I just come from?

Panel Beater - Frank Adams of Sheffield
- Solve for the unknowns in the following
verse:
" A ……… old woman on……bent
Put on her ………and away she went
………, she said as she closed the gate
If I …….I’ll be back by eight."

Chris Maslanka’s listeners’
puzzle
- An honest word is one which is true of itself
like sibilant, finite and short.
A dishonest word is one which is not true of
itself such as onomatopoeic, abbreviated and monosyllabic.
What should the initials of acronym stand for
if it is to describe itself either honestly or dishonestly?
