This is where we are: History 1. Which of Henry VIII’s wives did he consider ugly? – Ann of Cleeves 2. Who was the US President during the Cuban Missile Crisis? - JFK 3. In early life I was known as Soso (one of many pseudonyms I used) and trained to be a priest. After leaving the...

Yep, not far from finishing now. I can imagine Baku as an awful polluted place, from the description but it was a long time ago, maybe it's healed. I've also read about Nevsky Prospect in St Petersburg so many times, not only in this book but loads of Russian novels mention it. So yesterday I...

Of the new ones, 23 is correct. :) 1 &12 still correct but the others are not.

Correct... I wouldn't have known 2 weeks ago but I'm reading a biography on his early life just now. :)

1 and *12* are right. 3 and 5 are wrong.

Yep

All correct - there's actually a bit of the Mariana Trench that's the deepest, called the Challenger Deep, but I wasn't expecting anyone to be so specific. :) I remember a massive argument with my wife many years ago when she told me not to be so stupid: the sun is not a star.

Both correct

Here's something to possibly keep you amused during the lockdown... a pub quiz. Questions below. History 1. Which of Henry VIII’s wives did he consider ugly? 2. Who was the US President during the Cuban Missile Crisis? 3. In early life I was known as Soso (one of many pseudonyms I used)...

Of course you are absolutely right. And some teams will come back better and others worse than they were before the hiatus. But what if the choice were to be between finishing this season or culling next season entirely? Because that's where I think we'll end up.

I agree. This is only the first wave, we're probably not even close to being 50% of the way through this yet. We may be able to sneak in a few games behind closed doors before September but by then there will be another round of lock down and it will be called off again. Only my opinion.

Yeah, I reached that stage about 12 months ago. Absolutely pointless.

It's really not the best time of year to be looking like Jesus. It always seems very cruel that we remind him of the worst day of his life every year, when he probably just wants to put it behind him and forget.

I forgot the Wild Boys - did you go see them at the Cov Theatre in Risky City? I put the cassette of that on eBay about 10 years ago and was amazed to have 3 Japanese buyers fighting over it - it sold for much more than I could have imagined. Sorry, don't remember The Fuse. However in about...

I think you had to be there and the right age. At the time, the Pistols were a revolution - I'd never heard anything like it before. I seldom if ever listen to NMTB nowadays but do still listen to other bands from that time (Clash; 999; Buzzcocks...). I cannot imagine listening to some of the...

Been there - clippers now sitting redundant. She could cope when I went through a phase of No. 1 all over but since I now like the top a little longer she won't even try.

I'm sorry Tony, I was liking every post on this thread but there's no way I'm liking a post suggesting that a ponytail is a reasonable idea.

Several years ago she had a bit of a meltdown and shaved all of her hair off.

I did wonder if many of us were now sporting footballers' hairstyles. I'll kick a ball around today as an experiment to see if it's improved my skills. Could there be some kind of Samson effect?
