    At least the hill is at the start rather than the end!

    5 out of 10 for Tuesday's. Eednud... you should be deported for not getting the Ozzie flag question right!

    Chippies / chippers have a silent panic button?

    Visiting a cousin in Belfast for a couple of days. My sister drove a van from Glasgow as we had some stuff to pick up. The van helpfully gives you a deafening BEEP every time there's a speed camera approaching. Sadly, with average speed cameras between Kilmarnock and Girvan, it was a sleep free zone. Belfast was worse. My elderly cousin has TWO clocks that helpfully chime every QUARTER OF A FUCKING HOUR, to tell you the time. The worst bit was when I was just drifting off before midnight, the Big Ben Electronic Clock did the "bing bong bing bong" tune, then 12 faux sounding bongs, THEN old Grandfather clock then decided to give it 12 bongs so loud that practically made the house shake. Thankfully, getting woken up for the one o'clock bongs wasn't such an event, as they were much shorter, although still just as loud.

    I'm worn out just reading it I'm no expert... I did a few 10kms before the GSR and while I ran the entire thing, I was like a new-born baby giraffe the day after. After a couple of years of running I've realised that lungs aren't the stumbling block if you can find your pace, it's the legs, feet, thighs, ankles, groin, calves etc.

    It's not corporate speak, but it still rips my knitting. For years, my work has had an information security policy which means all PCs must be locked when you're not sitting at them. And quite right too, I'd hate to think of someone casually looking through my internet history. But now, for absolutely no reason, they've introduced a new policy which means that passwords must contain capitals, lower case letters, numbers and punctuation. Fair enough. But they must be changed every 30 days. And you can't reuse an old password. And your new password cannot even remotely match a previous password. So all that's going to happen is either a stream of people queued up outside the IT dept complaining that they can't remember their password (and they'll hilariously get told to log the problem into a system that they're not able to access), or people will just write all their passwords on a bit of paper they'll keep in a drawer beside their computer. Pointless. Rant over.

    Likewise, ordered a carbonara out the deli for my lunch. The girl asked me if I'd like a slice of chicken on it. Then extra cheese, Then more sauce. Nearly had a heart attack eating it and had to bin half of it. edit: plus meatballs.

    Gulls just want to have fun.

    9 out of 10. Cheers Eednud! That's put my pecker up, even though most were intelligent guesses. And a 7 out of 10 for the Ozzie quiz. Pecker still quite tumescent. .

    Lost my passport in Prague and someone handed it in to the polis. They said they'd keep a hold of it if I came back the next morning to pick it up. Czech polis > Scottish polis

    4 out of 10. Top marks in the Guardian quiz was always a possibility. In this quiz, it's never going to happen

    You can be sitting at the Raith for ages sometimes. You need something to do to pass the time.

    I kill any insect that's poses a threat to me or my livelihood. i.e. none of them.
  17. Cardinal Richelieu
    That was much easier. So I got 4 out of 10.

    How did this thread end up being about cricket and Orange walks? Did someone make a pun about bowlers?
  19. Cardinal Richelieu
    Take a deep dive into that. We need optics on that. Honestly. Please.
  20. Cardinal Richelieu
    Your updates are actually more exciting than watching cricket!

    Considering half the questions were "Which team is real" and the other half were "Which team isn't real"... it would be helpful if they actually told you in each question, rather than "What about this one?" Or maybe I'm just bitter cos I got 4/15.

    I was expecting someone to spill beer over the decks and a loud fizzle. Sadly I was disappointed.
  23. Cardinal Richelieu
    3 out of 10. If that quiz was on the Moh scale, it would be a diamond.
  24. Cardinal Richelieu
    I'm clearly missing something here.

    Not much of a guide dog if he can't fucking see.
