Hey GF,

 

I'm hosting a quiz night in which one of the contests on the agenda is Family Fortunes.

 

I've done it before, and it always ends up being a good laugh. One of the things I try and do is source the 100-person survey myself, and in the past the GF has been an invaluable outlet for reaching that mark.

 

So, if you have a spare minute, would as many people as possible be able to give answers to the 12 categories below?

 

You don't have to give it too much thought - in fact, it's probably more true if you don't - just put down the first thing that comes into your head. But can I ask, without being a massive killjoy, that you try and keep it serious. I appreciate comedy answers more than anyone, but it doesn't really help me in compiling genuine responses.

 

So without further ado, please can you:

 

1) Name a fairytale Snow white

2) Name a famous movie monster Godzilla

3) Name something that rises Bread

4) Name something slippery oil

5) Name something you put into a salad Tomato

6) Name something that you close your eyes to do Sleep

7) Name something that moves very slowly Snail

8) Name something that makes you grumpy Rain

9) Name a weapon used in ancient times Crossbow

10) Name someone who wears white clothing A crickerter (if a name, Alistair Cook)

11) Name a place people ask you to 'be quiet' Library

12) Name something people make into a ball Waste paper

 

Cheers in advance for any responses; they're all greatly appreciated.

So it's the dough that rises then, not the yeast!
