    How rude!

    Says Chezza to Gladders – AGAIN.

    Chezza resides in a lovely comfy little pied a terre up his own backside, actually, it’s a bit like Mole’s house in Wind In The Willows.

    Q1 – If there’s any justice in this world, yes! But Chezza seems to recall some geezer called Lemar once expressing a few doubts: https://youtu.be/OrXB31Znxpk
    Q2 – He wins when he wants and by as far as he wants.
    Q3 – Doubt it
    Q4 – Struggling to care – no, can’t manage to.
    Q5 – Ditto
    Q6 – Come on Edwardstone!
    Q7 – Hope not.
    Q8 – Probably
    Q9 – Possibly not
    Q10- Yes
    Q11 – It’s the Guineas, the only and only, not the English. All others are imitations. He needs to win so Chezza can afford to move closer to where posh Gladders lives and Gladders needs it to win so he can then immediately move somewhere even posher still to keep away from Chezza.
    Q12 – Come on, Flying Honours!
    Q13 – Possibly
    Q14 – Obviously
    Q15 – Yes
    Q16 – In France hopefully
    Q17 – Probably
    Q18 – Inevitably
    Q19 – Inevitably
    Q20 – Only if Chezza starts BH’s thread again and again tries to pass it off as his own.

    “So Chezza manages to answer two of the questions”

    If it was Chezza’s quiz, Chezza would literally hate Chezza for doing that.

    Double standards taken to new levels – again.

    “All in jest, says Gladders to Chezza. Again!”

    The day Gladders stops hilariously taking the p**s out of Chezza is the day Chezza will believe Gladders has been kidnapped by aliens and replaced by an invading imposter.

    It’s all good.
