Word of the Week answer.

Oh dear, I've left you all in suspense rather by forgetting to inform you what the word of the week actually meant.
The answer comes from Gullivers Travels where Gulliver travels to a strange land called Brobdingnag which is full of giants. The word has since come to mean anything of colossal size.

I wonder is Gulliver ever went to Oddieworld?

Another word of the week for you, and its a beauty:

"brobdignagian"

A hearty Oddies round of appluase to Matthew Edwards, aged 9, who sent us the picture below. Matthew explains: "His name is Super Sam, he can fly and is also heat proof so he can rescue Oddies from fires. He has a super power to sense Oddies who are in trouble." Pretty impressive Matthew, we like your drawing skills. Designed your own Oddies character? Send it to us at oddieworld@hotmail.co.uk and it to could be up here before you know it.

Well, I promised the Oddies Office attempt at doing something funny with our socks. This really was the best we could come up with! Send us your far, far, better attempts to oddieworld@hotmail.co.uk and we'll stick them up on the facebook group and a few of the best on here.

Evening Oddies friends.

In celebration of the amusing adventures the Oddies are always up to we want to hear about your Oddies Socks adventures. In picture form. We're looking for the best photos of your Oddies socks in crazy places or doing silly things. The most odd and crazy will get posted up here and at our facebook group page. The Oddie office's attempt will be posted up here later! Send your photos to oddieworld@hotmail.co.uk with "Oddies group pics FAO Mike" in the subject line. And if you haven't got your own Oddies Socks feel free to improvise with your own!

Hello there Oddies Bloggers! Many apologies for the lack of activity here. I promised both fun posts and serious posts last week and have so far provided neither.

So, first things first: BORBORYGMI – who guessed what it means then? As ever, using google doesn’t count. The answer was (of course) that it means the rumbling noises your tummy makes when you’re hungry. So next time you hear someone’s belly rumbling impress them with your knowledge: “Bad spot of borborygmi you’ve got there old sport”.

So, an update on things we have in the pipeline for the blog. We’re working on an exciting competition. The prize is still to be confirmed, but needless to say it will be excellent.

Finally, many thanks also for those who have now joined the Oddies facebook group – just search for “Oddies” on facebook.

Keep it Oddies,
Mike.
