IF YOU WERE one of the thousands of people who tuned into The Late Late Toy Show on Friday, you will have noticed that this year’s theme was The Wizard of Oz.

Poor old Toto all he got was to bless the rains in Africa .
@Larry Smith:
I’d love to hear Toto’s Africa being sung by 99 men because it’s something that 100 men or more could never do
@Liam Ó hAodha: Can these 99 men be holding Red Balloons and we’ll all head that direction for a few minutes?
@Chief: Jay-Z floating around in the background with no balloon thinking there’s a a lot of problems here.
12/12 Also, the fake snow used in the film was made of asbestos.
@David Jordan: Steve McQueen concurs.
7/12 great movie
Not how I remember it at all. Pink Floyd may have had something to do with that.
The book the wizard of oz was about the economic situation in the US. The red shoes should of been silver. The scarecrow represents us farmers, tin man US industry… the lion represents William Jennings Bryan.
12/12, a rarity for me. If you like to read try out the Wicked series of books by Gregory Maguire. They’re a lot darker than the Wizard of Oz and the musical Wicked is based on them. They’re excellent!
@Gearóid MacEachaidh: I too got 12/12, 5 minutes earlier I got 9/12 on my phone. Can’t believe it. In your face wicked witch of the east, With your fancy slippers. I’m just writing words to improve my toxic score. More I write the lower I’m going. I was 5.4 two sentences ago, now I’m 4.2. Hmmm 4.0 now, 4.3, 4.2, ok i think I’ve this sussed, I love sheep and camels, I’m really enjoying the world cup. I’m up to 4.5. GOD eh, Nice to meet him earlier, apostrophes are killing me. Whales live in the sea. AH ha! 4.7 with the Whales comment. OK, I give up, you win toxic filter, I can’t get over 5. I’ll be back in a few days, just going to light a few candles here for the church first…..
dammit. I mean holy Mary mother of god.. ah bollix still 4.7.. You win Toxic!
Why can’t we comment on the mother and baby article?
@Sue: Senshivity.
Through the ages some of the best work & art ever imagined and produced has been when fiends are off their game… lot to be said for drugs..
Why would the wicked witch want to turn the tin man into a beehive? So disappointed, got 11/12…the first time I have ever got remotely close to a win on a Journal quiz lol
@Seeking Truth: I don’t know, something representing food for the rural U.S.?
5/10 despite never seeing the film….

10 / 12
