my old housemate joelle
there is no point changing her name as she is too stupid to read.

playing trivial pursuit one night, and she managed two questions before buggering off. the first: name the serial killing doctor who offed hundreds of old women. now i can sympathise with forgetting a name momentarily. i do it with my own all the time. i could understand her kicking herself when she was told it was harold shipman. but to stare blankly and say, no, never heard of him... that i cannot understand.

but the second question was much much worse: name the type of plant that has bark, leaves, and grows to over 6' tall.

she. just. didn't. have. a. clue.

didn't even hazard a guess, just fucked off to the kitchen with some excuse about popcorn. half an hour later we realised she had gone back to bed. frankly it used to amaze me that she could co-ordinate breathing and walking at the same time.

The tree one is a bit simplistic for Trivial Pursuit.
And yet the Harold Shipman one makes it too mature to be the kiddy version. Odd.

depends on when it was
the new version has different degrees of difficulty depending on what you roll on the die.

Ah, I thought I did have a new version
but it must not be that new.
