Thanks to my fellow blogger Displacement Activity for the following information:

Stories up to 2,200 words and poems of up to 40 words may be submitted. The deadline is 2nd December 2013. Published contributors will be paid in line with Mslexia's rates. Full submission details and further information about contributor rates are on the website. The details are here


Universally Challenged and Are We Live? book review:

Universally Challenged: Quiz Contestants Say the Funniest Things
 
 
Are We Live?: The Funniest ...
 
Universally Challenged: Quiz Contestants say the funniest things by Wendy Roby and Are we live? The funniest bloopers from tv and radio by Marion Appleby book reviews

 

I bought these two as a set from The Book People and they were the perfect antidote to the inclement weather on our recent trip to St Bees.  When the rain was beating down upon our caravan and the kids were getting fed up, reading out the less outrageous of these anecdotes worked a treat.  Some of them were ones I had heard before, but as they say ‘oldies can often be goodies’ and some of the mistakes had me laughing out loud with tears running down my cheeks.

 

Who would have thought American presidents, Jeremy Paxman and obtuse contestants would come in so handy?
