As there has been much discussion of relevence, irrelevence, and unrelevence today I thought I'd establish a universally accepted test for relevence. As I can only sumise that relevence is subjective, I can only presume that the most plausible way to grade it's authenticity is to come up with a gauge whereby the relevence to life of the subject is determined. Hence I have compiled the following test which you may or may not complete at your leisure or painstaking obligation.
[Note: Please do not move this to the quizzes board - it is not a quiz, but a psychological test for a relevent (depending on the subject's individual perspective) system of relevence determination]
1 - Here are two groups of words, match each with their relevent partner.
A - tambourine - manatee - turpentine - pornography - flatulence
B - Fencing - Marine - dirty - percussive - Indian Cuisine
2 - There are two trains: One travelling east at 30mph down hill in to a gale force wind unprecedented, and unpredicted by Michael Fish. The other is a Virgin Pendalino, which boasts a radio programme fronted by Mr Scruff & Treva Whateva, and a shop for light refreshments, books and magazines.
Please tell us what, if any, relevent information has been provided to answer the following question.
Is Terry Wogan God?
3 - You are watching Deal or No Deal, with Television beardo Noel Edmonds. The studio audience are chanting 'Blue' repeatedly. Noel has given you the rather inconclusive statistics which in his tiny little mind prove beyond all reasonable doubt (your honour) that the £250,000 must be in the contestant at the table's box.
What would be the relevent action to take to avoid taking the £250,000 out of play?
4 - The Chuckle Brothers. Discuss.
5 - In your opinion is there any relevence to this relevence indicator test, and if so what is it relevent to.

Was it relevant to not mention cabbages? I don't think so.

No Brian Blessed is.

Staple something to the Edmunds face and take the money from his wallet.
4 - The Chuckle Brothers. Discuss.
Barry Chuckle is dead. Paul rent out Scooty Puff Junior Scooters in Rhyl. They smell like cranberrries.
5 - In your opinion is there any relevence to this relevence indicator test, and if so what is it relevent to.

I tried to answer this quiz but some phone weevil got in the way.
I like the idea of a Fencing Manatee, puts me in mind of that Temeraire fella...
I'm sure I'd have scored brown if I'd given time and space to it...

no - that's just below turquoise. Way better than maroon.

Apparently it's a "Fruit Crush" fruit my arse! although it occassionally leaves you feeling crushed (depending on your mental stability in teh first place). I'd go for the funny red stuff. |
