a) Fish swallowed two baits - landed by two anglers.
b) Fish was undersized and thrown back - then caught again by another of the anglers.

Tsk!, Tsk!
They were son, father and grandfather!

not the doctor and the mother is not the nurse. How can it be ?

You need to rid yourself of your pre-conceived sexist outlook on life my friend.

The father is a nurse and the mother is a doctor.

By 3-0 you mean that you have racked up 3 posts (to my nil), were one would have sufficed. Have some [img]graemlins/spam2.gif[/img] as a reward for your efforts. Well done by the way - but if I catch you boasting of my compliment I will delete the post and deny it .

I plead that case that I am dividing my attention between posting and watching the Saffies crumble before the McGrath onslaught. Are these guys really the 2nd best test playing nation in the world.

You guys did well on these here are the answers.

32. Day and Night
33. wants to be a photographer
34. Another letter 'E' riddle(I love these ones)
35. none
36. Double letters
37. There were only 3 people A grandfather his son and his grandson.
38. No bathroom upstairs, its a one story house
39. The Doctor is a Woman and the Nurse a woman.
40. A coat of Paint.

I take it from the replies that people are not yet tired of this thread especially after hearing "WOOHOO - MORE RIDDLES" from Davros.
So here are some more:

41. If it takes six men six hours to dig six holes,
how long does it take one man to dig half a hole?

42. What gets wetter the more it dries?

43. You went to the woods and you got it,
you sat down on a rock to seek it,
you went home with it because you couldn't find it.

44. They call me a man, yet I'll never have a wife.
I was given a body, but not given life.
They made me a mouth, but didn't give me breath.
Water gives me life and sun gives me death.

What am I?

45. A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for five minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
A few minutes later,
they both go out and enjoy a wonderful dinner.

How is this possible?

46. When set loose
I fly away,
Never so cursed
As when I go astray.

47. I go around in circles
But always straight ahead,
Never complain
No matter where I am led.

48. You heard me before,
Yet you hear me again,
Then I die,
Till you call me again.

49. With thieves I consort,
With the vilest, in short,
I'm quite at ease in depravity;
Yet all divines use me,
And savants can't lose me,
For I am the center of gravity

50. As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.

What am I?

I have long since depleated my supply of riddles and it is quite hard to find any good ones one the net, so if anyone has any decent riddles that they would like to share here than please do.
