Oz’s Business Continuity Blog – Christmas competition answers

Happy new year!

The Christmas competition is now closed, the draw has taken place (ably assisted by Barney) and the winners have been notified. A shiny new Kindle is winging its way to Sarah in Nottingham and copies of my books are on their way to Richard in Rugby and Simon in Milton Keynes. Thanks to all of you who took part. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Here are the answers to the questions…

1. What’s the name of my dog? And, seeing as that question is far too easy, a) what breed is he? and b) what breed isn’t he?     ANSWER : Barney, who is quite clearly a Field Spaniel, not a Springer Spaniel.   (See “A bit of a Barney” and “Not what it seems“)

2. Which important item did said dog eat?    ANSWER : He ate my spec’s.   (See “A spectacular disaster“)

3. What’s my favourite tipple?     ANSWER : I’m quite partial to the occasional gin and tonic.   (See “An icy crisis” and “Open all hours“)

6. Which sport do I play with my sons in the winter and how old was I when I started playing again?    ANSWER : I play hockey and I was  a youthful 46 when I started playing again.   (See “Fit for the job?“, “A team effort” and “Mid-life crisis management“)

7. Which toe did I break playing another sport?    ANSWER : (This was a bit of a tricky one) It was ‘the little piggy who had none’ (I have, however, accepted “the fourth one” as technically that’s also correct).   (See: “A toe-curling tale“)

8. What new ‘toy’ did I recently buy?     ANSWER : A chainsaw.   (See”Boys’ toys“)

9. What’s the name of the annual golf competition that I play in?     ANSWER : The now (almost) famous Abersoch Open.    (See “The Abersoch Open” and “Live from the Abersoch Open“)

All the best for 2012, Oz
