Clearly it was not such a great time if you can remember it or define it at all. Hence the expressions "Bonked my brains out", "Laughed my head off". "Ate myself silly", and "Pissed as a pineapple". Here in Oz, entire communities are stumbling back from a month of summer holidays wondering what on earth they did but deeply satisfied because "it was great, mate."

I've been away, so shall endeavour to catch up:
A7) Can you tell me a joke tha tis 100% PC? Yes, as long as it doesn't have to be funny.
A8) I don't know what the definition of "a great time" is now, but it used to be "had by all": Don't you remember the saying "A great time was had by all!"
A9) When should you make a beeline? When the eh*-line doesn't work anymore.
A10) It is not that you should award me points, it is that you cannot do otherwise.

a10) The moral imperatives at play in this situation are weak at best; therefore, giving due consideration to fairness and good judgment you should award me as many points as you might feel are appropriate given the relative merits of the other entries posted in response to the question at hand (the tenth question in this competition, in this specific case) and your vast experience at similar instances of point allocation including but not limited to prior instances of the quiz-offs and the periodic Knock-out Quizzes and other sundry competitions of which I might well be unaware given that our acquaintance has to this time at least been mediated solely through the media of on-line fora and in consideration of any other criteria that you might deem appropriate to the purpose at hand not the least of which should include the pithiness and effectiveness of said responses at engaging the issues inherent in the question at hand (the aforementioned tenth question) with some possible consideration to the recommendation of the contestant contained their respective response to wit in my case: two hundred, which, as it happens, is precisely the number of words (according to Microsoft Word) in this soporifically long sentence.

I must ask you, how sharp are these points? Are they to be aimed at any tender and fragile parts of me (virtually 100% of my delicate self)? Are they given gently or will this award be filled with much merriment and dangerous force? Your answers, kind Sir, will determine how many points I think I can bear.

A: Shakes head mutely thinking "If I had a pound for everytime some idiot thinks that is the first time I have ever been asked that".... then announcing politely as if it was the first time some idiot had indeed asked that very same poser.
NO Sir! I beleive you mean Armadillo, and if you carry straight on past the Aardvaark, and AntEater, you cant fail to miss him. Careful as you go Sir and watch where you put your feet, and no walking on the grass, and please do not feed the animals.

‘O see ye not yon narrow road,
So thick beset wi’ thorns and briers?
That is the Path of Righteousness,
Though after it but few inquires.
‘And see ye not yon braid, braid road,
That lies across the lily leven?
That is the Path of Wickedness,
Though some call it the Road to Heaven.
‘And see ye not yon bonny road
That winds about the fernie brae?
That is the Road to fair Amarillo,
Where thou and I this night maun gae.'
