New to Brunei - Mike
Howarth Saturday on BFBS Brunei from 1.00 - 3.00pm
So you think your family or friends will
help you out? Prove it! Put your name forward to play Word
Of The Week.
Each week Mike will have a mystery word sealed in an envelope.
He'll open the envelope and tell you what that word is. He'll
then get a member of your family, or a friend on the line and
you have to try and get them to say the word in 30 seconds - without
actually telling them what it is! If they get it right in 30 seconds,
they win you a prize. If they don't... you won't even get your
BFH!
CLICK HERE if you fancy your
chances!
Clare Schofield took
up Mike's challenge with help from Jane Smith and that won her
a BFBS T-shirt & Pen. Word
of the Week was 'aerosol'
- useful hints...a spray that comes in a
can , rhymes with Costa del Sol! Well done, both! |
