Bucket of jelly

Bucket of jellyAbout a year ago Tanya tricked me into going to the Silicon Pub Quiz, I thought it was going to just be a regular quiz, didn’t know it was associated with gamers and their gaming convention. The quiz was hosted and compered by DoC & Matt, was great fun and we won!
So, we reformed out team and went back there this evening to defend our title and we won, by quite a margin, again! We are reigning champions and since it was the last quiz DoC & Matt (big thanks due for a good night) will be doing, I’m unlikely to go again.
Our prize was 4 sterling silver crowns (tin-foil and cardboard) and a chest laden with rubies (a bucket of jelly).
Have you ever seen a bucket of jelly? Have you ever been up to your elbow in a bucket of jelly? I have.

    Have you ever tricked other people into eating from a bucket of jelly you were up to your elbow in?

    I did. It tasted like jelly. And fingernail-gunk.

    That reminds me of a story about a bucket of Coleslaw, destined for salads on some airline or other, a scoop that wouldn’t work and a shortage of gloves.

    The details are unimportant, but the moral is: Coleslaw is great for cleaning your fingernails.

    Jelly is not at all tenacious and washes off almost straight away under a warm tap. Coleslaw or any other gloopy sticky stuff that might in any way be greasy I would not like to submerge any limb in.
