Mystery Blogger L’s 2013 theme: “The Z to A Blog Challenge.”


I know, I know, what the “L” am I doing a challenge in reverse for?  Because I’m not actually participating in the “A to Z Blogging Challenge.”   Of course, the co-hosts ‘begged’ me to participate.  However, I would never commit my site to an entire month of such a challenge.  No, not me.

“L” is for “Learner.”  Did you know that in Britain you have to have a licence for your TV?  It took me ages to finally pass my test.  Most annoying having to have a learner sticker stuck on the screen until I finally passed my test.  The test entailed watching fifty hours of cooking shows and you can never watch enough cooking shows.  It also required watching  fifty hours of idiots who giggled, jumped around a lot and said, “Oh my God!”, in every other sentence.  Yes indeed, fifty hours of “reality” TV.

Note . . .my “L” sticker was removed from my TV when I passed the test for my TV licence.

“L” is for Leek, Staffordshire, England.  Not to be confused with Leek, Holland.  I moved to Leek in England because I always wanted to live in a town named after an onion.  And speaking of leek, our friend Hilary at this site, did an informative posting on the legendary leek.  If you have never visited Hilary, here she is :  Positive Letters….inspirational stories….

Who is it? HINT: I gave you big a hint already. And is this blogger going to give me holy L for this.

  3. Hi Lee – this was easy peasy .. even an English veg – I knows himself and herself the internet superstar four legged beauty – Penny and her owner .. great L for Learner .. cheers Hilary

  9. LEE… this was too funny!

    Gary and Penny are just TOOOO sweet! But a license for TV? Is this true? Jeepers…. did I just say that? What the hell?! Um…

    I would've had mine by the age of five. I LIVED in front of the TV. Got up at 5:30 every mooring and headed straight for the old B&W RCA.. GEEZ, I'm old!

  10. Congrats to Lynda on her excellent detective work!

    Reading this post I thought of Gary and Penny! Gary's posts always keep me SO entertained. 🙂

  12. I don't know about a license, but there does need to be a class on how to use a remote control efficiently. Actually I can do that, I just don't know which remotes are for which TVs and devices!

  14. I'm gonna guess Klahanie (Gary & Penny) even though I can't imagine him participating in the A-Z since he thinks it's evil. (I have to admit, as we slog along and haven't even hit the halfway point yet, I'm beginning to think the A-Z is evil too! Are there really this many letters in the alphabet? Do we really need them all? I vote we chuck out Q and X. They're lazy and rarely bother to show up in words. And we can get rid of "Y" since it's so interminably curious. Finally, "P" should be censored as rude and lewd, in all its forms…)

  19. Hi celebrity superstar author and terrific human being, Lee,

    What the "L" is going on? Yes indeed, in Britain, you need a TV license. It's to fund the BBC. You know, the channel you get to watch without a TV license in other parts of the world.

    Did you know you know need a license for your computer? I can barely see the screen with this great big red "Learner" sticker on my screen.

    I had some dude admiring my prized onions in my garden. The dude asked if it was okay to take a leek. I told him not to be so filthy and go use the toilet inside my house.

    Congrats to Lynda. Another one of my adoring fans. Yes, call me delusional. Hello, delusional.

    I have no idea who the mystery blogger is. However, the writing is fantastic. One L of a good bit of writing.

    Your starstruckest fan,

    Penny's fictional character,

    Gary

  24. *jumping up and down* I'm a winner! I'm a winner! I'd like to thank all the little people who were willing to lose so I could win a really cool book from a cool author. THANK YOU, Lee!

    I'm a Gary/Penny follower and enjoy his posts so much. Great feature today! And now I need to go back to jumping up and down for a while longer. 😀

  33. Well I knew about the license, but I had no idea about the tough testing! I don't think I could handle fifty hours of reality tv, =P

  36. Had no idea about the TV license. It'd take me forever to pass. I just put stickers with instructions on the 3 remotes in the room where my husband watched TV.
