Spain Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Time for a question that is suitably vague and probably makes no sense. There's a name for it, but I can't remember what it is, (think it came from a classic play or something) where everyone plays a part in a murder or a crime, so as everyone can have deniability. Does that make sense? Edit: The question is, if anyone knows what I'm on about, what's it called and where is it from?

Don't know the word, but Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie had a similar if not identical plot.. You're not thinking of the Prisoner's Dilemma?

Spain Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 murder on the orient express i think it's from but i cant help with other half of the question Don't know the word, but Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie had a similar if not identical plot.. You're not thinking of the Prisoner's Dilemma? Nah, it's not the Prisoners' Dilemma I'm thinking about. Could be Murder on the Orient Express, or something essentially based on it. For some reason I have the image of some dingy town in my head, where the entire town takes a hand in murdering some bloke. Can't mind if he was evil or rich or why they were trying to kill him though. Murder on the Orient Express will be enough to help me make a point in a debate I was trying though. So cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endieinreekie Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Not Roger Federer then? No, but if he chose to play tennis Professor Finlay would be far superior to Federer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeebarry Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Not Roger Federer then? I've been working under that same assumption. I found myself worryingly pleased when I recognized a guy featured in a documentary I was watching recently and thought, "Ah! It's the boy from one of Swampy's old avatars! So that's who he is, eh?" I probably spend too much time on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Has anyone with Smurphs contact details heard from/seen him since last night?

Sweet Pete Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Has anyone with Smurphs contact details heard from/seen him since last night? He went to the Ross County v Stenny game, got blitzed and missed his train. nothing on #smurphwatch I spoke to him at length on Friday night / Saturday morning until suggesting around 2am that he hit the sack as he was to meet Fudge at 7am. Not heard from him since. He's probably been forced into sexual slavery by an unscrupulous Invernesian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 He was on Twitter this morning saying it was half an hour until the train home. I'm guessing they found somewhere to sleep because that was around 11 I think, and he'd said last night that first train was half 9. I feel I know a bit too much about this situation and I think I might lay off Twitter for a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 He updated his Twitter 4 hours ago, so he was still alive as recently as noon or thereabouts. I suspect he's met with a grim, sexually degrading fate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard from him since. He's probably been forced into sexual slavery by an unscrupulous Invernesian. In that case he was probably last seen at one of the following locations: Johnny Foxes The Den Love2Love MacCallums Lauders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm just watching a bit of Nigella here and she's talking about boiling eggs. She puts a match in the pan after the eggs have gone in because her grandmother taught her that if the shells crack, the whites won't leak out into the water. Does anyone know if it's true, and if it is, why does it work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Nobody watches Nigella for the cooking. I know that, that's why I asked a question and didn't just post a clip of her saying it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
