  1. I should have stopped reading at "I have never met Kate Forbes" as the rest is all just speculative fiction.
  2. Playoff. I didn't receive an answer from Specsaver, so they stay where they are. If took 21,000 men to build the hoover dam. @Eednud wins his playoff with the closest overall guess of 25,001, so he and @Ronaldo Jeremy remain where they are. In the other playoff it was a close run thing. @mathematics guessed 31,415 v @Spring Onion's 34,165 so Mathematics wins.
  3. Playoff question. The Hoover Dam is a large hydroelectric plant on the Colorado River in the USA. How many men were involved in the building of it? PM me by 10am tomorrow.
  4. Turning up at 11.30 for a 12.30 k.o is mental behaviour. My da' is similar and can't get to matches too early. Bonkers.
  5. That's Jim Robinson from Neighbours at the bottom there.
  6. Her frequent long weekends away have knackered the suspension imo.
  7. Groups linked to football clubs aye?....
  8. Almost certainly a whoosh from our man here tbf. Jealous of this. I bought a Mountain Equipment down jaiket for about £200 and it lasted about 4 years. Crap. Anyway. I'm bamboozled by this thread as I tend to wear the shit out of clothes, but I've weirdly got a base layer that dates from about 2007 that I've cycled and hiked in loads.
  9. It's a proper PTTGOMN but the sonata in question wasn't called the Moonlight Sonata by the composer, but by a critic after said composer had snuffed it. The opening movement is redolent of moonlight, but movements two and three most certainly aren't. He wrote it after getting dumped by a funcy woman (a contessa whose name escapes me) and the anguish and anger the composer feels about this is clear to hear in the third movement (the presto agitato). He was a bit volatile and codependent when it came to the ladies was our man. Sonata in C sharp minor for me Clive.
  10. Fairly sure the male teachers kent the score exactly here.
  11. Just looked that up to confirm. I can't see it myself in the lyrics, but it does say so on Wikipedia. Outstanding TV series and the last few episodes of Ashes to Ashes are wonderful. I've rewatched the whole thing and I still think about that last episode and its implications.
  12. Given the tech available now I'm absolutely fucking amazed that me and an entire bus of 13 year olds (I was one of them) watched Ace Ventura on a bus down to Alton Towers. Tiny TV and no doubt rubbish sound, but I definitely saw and took in the entire film. Wild.
  13. A silly post. Most posters on this site support the same team as their old man, not because they chose to independently. Dads mostly bring their kids up to support the same team as them and young kids tend not to rebel against that too seriously. The idea that people support the Jags because of some conscious virtue is fanciful. Anyway, this will be a very boring game. I just hope McGregor doesn't get injured.
