In our wisdom we decided it would be fun to camp for the weekend. We arrived yesterday evening after a 6-hour drive, with me narrowly avoiding going full Michael Douglas in the Edinburgh bypass traffic. Upon arriving at the campsite it quickly became clear that our tent was not accompanied by any poles. It's a mystery why they weren't in the bag with the rest of the kit. Panic ensued, followed by a mad dash around Scarborough to find a replacement tent. Luckily there was a Halfords and we made it with 10 minutes to spare before they closed. Quite pleased with our new temporary home tbh. Not sure how it'd hold up in a storm, but it was a comfortable night and the weather is glorious. Roll on the Quo tonight. Halfords is excellent TBF. They usually have Whatever You Want 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I hadn't bought wine boxes for years, I got some earlier and tried guessing how many glasses I would need to pour to gauge how much was a bottle, I'm on my second box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 In today’s daily quiz in The Australian and just after a question about which part Tom Cruise played in Cocktail and before questions about HMS Bounty, which team has won most Australian Water Polo League women’s titles and the currency of Vanuatu amongst others was the one below. PS: If you like quizzes then why not head over to GN side of things and join the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viz once published a Wimbledon wallchart so you could monitor Tim Henman's progress. It only went up to the semi-final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Went for a chippy in Scarborough the other night, ordered 2 fish suppers and the lassie behind the counter looked at me like I was an alien. "Is that like fish & chips?" The guy doing the frying laughed and said he'd only ever heard 'fish supper' once before in 29 years. I was astonished. Genuinely thought it was universal language. Please tell me it's at least universal within Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
