    Default Who wants to be a Millionaire

    About every 3 or 4 weeks we dial up the Who wants to be a Millionaire line to try and get on the show, normally coincides with when we are broke!!

    Anyway, last Wednesday I get this call out of the blue. "Hi my name is Elaine from Who wants to be a Millionaire......." The skinny is that they ring 110 people from all those that call and then ask them 7 questions, the top 10 get on the show. They were going to fly us down on Tuesday night for the shows taping on Wednesday. Elaine said if I got a call between 10am and noon on Friday I would be on the show, if I didnt then tough titties. Needless to say, I'm still waiting for the call.......

    Now I cant remember all 7 questions (I can remember 5) and I know I got at least one wrong, but I will list out the 5 questions for you. For anyone who wants to test themselves in game mode, then Firstly don't read the questions, get someone to read them to you, you have 10 seconds to answer each question and the asker starts counting down when you get to 5 seconds left!!! The 7th Question is an estimate - they use it as a tiebreaker...

    Scroll Down......












    Keep Scrolling.....










    Just Keep Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling rawhide, dont try to understand em, just rope, throw and brand em - rawhide!! sorry - Keep Scrolling.....





    Here they come........





    Question 1. Which Television show had it's last episode in November 2004 titled "The Last One"


    Question 2. Which European country divided into 7 separate republics in 1952?


    Question 3. What animal is on the Australian 20 cent piece?


    Question 4. For what was Boris Spassky world champion between 1971 and 1973?

    Question 5. (Tie breaker) How many times larger than Earth is Saturn?
    There was a young boy called Wyatt
    Who was awfully quiet
    And then one day
    He faded away
    Because he overused White

    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    I'd quite happily be a millionaire, as long as it didn't involve being on the same stage as Eddy Everywhere. There are some things even I won't do!

    I'd be perfectly happy to marry a millionaire ... as long as she looked nothing like the above mentioned Eddy or had anything to do with his football league.

    He's already a millionaire, so he is pre-approved
