Now that @MrBane has run his piddling competitions ( ) on Arrse it is time for another serious Book Competition - the reason Rum Ration was set up!!!

The competition, as ever is for books from my bookshelf and the prizes will consist of up to 6 books, one of each to each winner. The competition will run until Sunday 26 August 2018 and can be entered in the normal fashion through survey monkey:

Q1, Up until 1970, pubs in Ireland, being highly religious, closed on St Paddy's Day!

Q2 Feeding oregano to cows reduces their methane output by up to 50%

Q3 Phil the Greek is the one who uses 'cabbage' and 'sausage' as endearments for his wife, HMQ.

And there we have it. Another one under the belt and no doubt I will now come in for calls for a knighthood or some such honour from the usual suspects!

Book received safely A_G, many thanks. Looking forward to reading it and might track down the other two related volumes. Noted that it states they can be read separately and in any order.
