ROCHESTER BLIND BOWLING GROUP

 
  Welcome to our latest quiz, called pairs. Its a bit of a teaser, as usual. In each of the sentences, below, there are words that have been missed out (how careless!). All you need to do is find the missing words. Incidentally, the missing words are anagrams of themselves.

  For example: I put the - - - on - - - of the stove. The two missing words are: POT and TOP ... and The people of Woofland worshipped Fido, the _ _ _, because they thought he was a _ _ _. Here, the missing words are DOG and GOD! Easy, isn't it! The closing date is Sunday, December 5th, 2010. You can hand in this entry sheet to any RBBG member or enter online. GOOD LUCK, as usual.
