It is evident that why, whenever there is a contest or competition, relatives of the organisers are not allowed to take part!
Even before I had put up the competition in my last blog entry "Using metaphors", my dear daughter, Susanna, whose genetic code must be similar to mine, had this added as a Comment to that blog entry:
Tears are NORMALLY warm, not cold like Finnish rivers - no matter how fast or pure they are! The Ganga is normally associated with warmth.
while daughter Joanna is second from right.

with families, in Florida, last Christmas.
Even I could not have written the correct interpretation as Susanna did.
So I shout "SPOILSPORT".:-)

You can shout and stamp your feet as much as you like - it makes no difference to me :-) Seemed the obvious answer! Love, 'Spoilsport'
Defn of 'spoilsport': a person who behaves in a way that spoils others' pleasure, esp. by not joining in an activity.
BUT, I did join in the activity and THEN get accused of being one. I can't win, can I???
And now a lesson in English! That did take me by surprise. What do you do - sleep with the dictionary next to your pillow? :-):-)
You know your dad - anyone ever won against him, even when the chips were all down?
Admit defeat, you've met your match!
