  1. Very good except I got it wrong. 86th anniversary of Hindenburg Disaster.
  2. What to do on Saturday. Watch the coronation. Go to Tony Blair's 70th birthday party Go to Graeme Souness' 70 birthday party Celebrate the 66th anniversary of the Hindenburg Disaster. I think I will go with option 4.
  3. Word of warning. On the day do not visit relatives unless you know their views on the monarchy first. My Dad despised the Royal Family. For one of the weddings, he took me in the car over to the West Coast to avoid the whole thing. However when we got there, they said "Oh, you are just in time" and sat us in front of the tv to watch the bloody thing. Total silence on the drive back home.
  4. During the lockdown, the Queen was seen be doing the right thing, sitting on her own during her husband's funeral and she was applauded for it. Charles should do likewise. There is a cost of living crisis going. This whole coronation thing should be scaled back. I suggest he goes along to the local registrar's office, fills in the appropriate forms and then goes quietly back to the palace. Don't make a scene of it.
  5. You would think they would at least offer a helpline advising them where to go instead.
  6. He did get a mention on "Pointless" a few years ago.
  7. Coronation Chicken and now Coronation Quiche. Is this not just another debate about the chicken and the egg? Oh dear.
  8. When visiting the Southern Hemisphere, stir your tea in the other direction to avoid falling off the planet.
  9. If I have a meal that includes fake lamb, then I would probably want to try real lamb the next day just to check if they are right. Personally I prefer vegetarian food that is not pretending to be something else. For example, Brussels sprouts(halved and seared) with cottage cheese, pomegranate seeds and crushed pistachio nuts is very nice.
  10. Avoid crashing your car by not owning one in the first place.
  11. He would have been 79 today. Didn't quite get there.
  12. Have you tried using your railcard? You might get a discount.
  13. Fun Fact: After surviving a car bomb, Philby was personally awarded a medal by Franco himself who was unaware that Philby had originally been sent to Spain by Stalin to kill him!
  14. 36 hours on and this thread is still going. Must be a really slow trolley.
  15. I am still confused. In the original story there was a talking snake and some naked chick called Eve but none of this other stuff. Very confusing.
  16. This scenario is seriously lacking detail. Maybe the five workers are actually evil henchmen of Al Capone intend on stopping the train and killing everyone on board. In which case, Adam should do nothing.
  17. Chas and Dave were originally going to call themselves "The Rolling Stones" but decided against it. Left it open for some other lot to grab the name.
  18. The Titanic sank on the 15th April 1912 after hitting an iceberg that was older than it was. One month later the entire iceberg was gone.
  19. Abraham Lincoln died on 15th April 1965 - the day after he created the Secret Service.
  20. Joey Ramone and Pol Pot were both born on the 19th of May and both died on the 15th of April.
  21. A female friend said these puns must surely end soon. Little would she know how bad it could get.
