    ...I'd like to think Fluff's met-up with him... They'll get-on well I think...

    The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He鈥檚 at the Pearly Gates, which are, unusually, locked. But, St. Peter had appeared on the 鈥淗eaven鈥 side to greet him.

    St. Peter says, "Well, Forrest, it's certainly good to see you. We鈥檝e heard such a lot about you. I must tell you, though, this place is filling up fast and we've now found it necessary to administer an entrance examination - for everyone.

    The test is short, but even you Forrest, have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."

    Forrest responds, "It shor is good to be here, St. Peter, sir... But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. Shor hope the test ain't too hard; Life was a big enough test as it was..."

    St. Peter says, "Yes, I know, Forrest. But the test is only three questions:

    * First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?

    * Second: How many seconds are there in a year?

    * Third: What is God's first name?

    Now, have a think about the questions Forrest. Take just as long as you like. Then, let me know when you鈥檙e ready to answer鈥.

    Forrest returns the next day and sees St. Peter who waves him forwards and says, "Now that you鈥檝e had a chance to think the questions over Forrest, tell me your answers."

    Forrest says, "Well, the first one - which two days in the week begin with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one's easy. That'd be Today and Tomorrow."

    The Saint's eyes open-wide and he exclaims, "Forrest, that's not what we were thinking at all. But you do have a point. And, I guess I didn't specify, so I'll give you credit for that answer.

    How about the next one?" asks St. Peter. "How many seconds in a year?"

    Now that one's harder," says Forrest, "but I thunk and thunk about that and I guess the answer has to be twelve."

    Astounded, St. Peter says, "Twelve? Twelve..? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"

    Forrest says, "Shucks, there's gotta be twelve sir: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd..."

    "Hold it, hold it..." interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you're going with this, and I see your point, though that wasn't quite what anyone here had in mind... But, in fairness, I'll give you credit for that one, too.

    Let's go on with the third and final question. Forrest, can you tell me God's first name"?

    "Sure..." Forrest replied immediately, "...its Andy."

    鈥淎NDY...鈥. "ANDY!!!!!?", exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter.

    "Okay Forrest, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name 鈥淎NDY鈥 as the first name of God?"

    "Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song - "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN..."

    St. Peter quickly opened the Pearly Gates, dragged Forrest in and shouted: "RUN FORREST, RUN... !!!!"

    Re: Eddie (13)

    Thanks for the compliments, however it's all really down to the wonderful Froggers who have been beavering away such as Fifi, BigSis, Anne and Ed. It's only meant to help support THIS fabulous Blog.

    However I'll cool it a bit until you catch up in the Spring ;-)

    Oh Jonnie (17) I am so proud of you, and other froggers, receiving praise worthy of your efforts from our Eddie (13).

    Eddie, far from shamed, you should so be proud of what you have inspired. This space is truly unique in the blogsphere and full of interesting debate without antagonism, quirky comments, and witty repartee. My quality of life has improved immeasurably since being invited to the beach, and I was made so welcome by others on the lilypad(s), that I can鈥檛 wait to start reading The Magic Faraway Tree for the book club!

    It is a trifle odd that the 成人论坛; a huge corporation running many blogs, is struggling with this one, but whilst I ponder upon it being a conspiracy, it is a mere trifle in the scheme of things. We have confidence the spring will bring a new awakening... will it really take that long?

    Eddie: Glad you caught up with Jonnie's antics at last. Isn't it good? What a clever frogger!

    Appy: Give RJD his Walnut Whips NOW!

    Jonnie: Careful with your verbs, please. Ed might be embarrassed ......(subtle or what!) Sorry, teasing over. I agree entirely with your comments, though blush at the compliment. You, m'dear, have done a fab job and deserve the biggest slab of the credit.

    And I'm still laughing at the verb .....

    Right. I preferred the days when on a cold winters sunday morning, I'd the choice between A-Watching good old Frosty present Breakfast with Frost, John Prescott sitting on the sofa, with Carol Thatcher, or Anne Robinson in her nice guise doing the newspapers, Coissants, Orange juic, Moira Styuart et al
    AND
    B- Listening to BH
    I always chose BH

    Fellow froggers (who like books),

    I've just emailed the following to Jonnie for the book club page.

    "I'm going to make a proposal for the Book Club. The idea was sparked by Admin Annie referring to Molesworth. I therefore think I should post on the Blog the following proposal:

    "Admin Annie, as the inspiration for the Book Club, should nominate something for the froggers to read by tomorrow at close of play, and those who want to take up the challenge of reading her choice should start reporting back on Eddie's first posting for Monday 11th December.

    "If the suggestion goes down okay, perhaps you could post that up on the book club page.

    "I'd also like to suggest, if it's possible, for the Book Club page to have a comments box whereon froggers could comment randomly on books they have loved.

    "I'll post this now, with the proviso that its feasible at your end."

    So, like it says on the tin, I'm doing just that.

    Perhaps you could let me/Jonnie know on this thread if you feel strongly either way.

    Admin Annie: Can you get your thinking cap on, in the assumption that the suggestion is acceptable?

    Gosh, Eddie, you never knew how useful your blog would be to us, did you?

    Oh Big Sis (19) It took me a moment to work out what verb you were referring to, but once I did, it was all I could do to stifle a Sid James laugh! And Appy thought I had a dirty mind!!!

    Big Sister (19) : let the verb go. He mis-spelt it. Fifi, for one, has been 'Belvoiring' ... which sounds the same but involves a castle!

    Now I must away and beat up (verbally, only) some policemen in Northampton.

    If I don't post anything tomorrow you'll know I went too far . . .

    I shall be in Northampton on Thursday if you need bailing out Fifi (26), I'm sure I can arrange a virtual collection here, & if not shall bake a cake with a file inside... & maybe bring you some Belvoir elderflower cordial to wash it down.

    How wonderful you lot are! You've cheered up a dreary evening.

    BTW, see the next thread for Admin Annie's response.

    Big Sis, do you think we (you) should have a list of people interested in the Book Club, because otherwise people might get missed out and not get to make a choice. And I suppose that some people might be interested in just one of them and not both. So you will need erm, it's late two lists? or three? no, only two. I think.

    I've put this on the previous post as well just in case you don't refer back to that one.

    Off now to do listen again on The ARchers as I missed it at 7....night all, see you in the morning. BTW when are we going to get a new new beach because I really don't like it in the wood. It's dark and creepy and there are things that make strange noises in the night.

    Aw, sorry RJD - I haven't eaten them all, honest! I was only teasing - here they are.

    Doc, I'm glad you had a good day on Monday. As it happens I did too, although Tuesday has been mighty stressful.

    Fearless, I have the video evidence to prove it's not just your mind! (You really should check that all of the knowholes are covered before you misbehave!)

    Admin Annie - Go to the Book Club page on Jonnie's site and you'll see people can now email me. If they want to send me their email address, I can put together a mailing list and keep them updated.

    Will put my mind to a suitable format, but some kind of round robin should be straightforward enough ...
