Apparently, and this is the consensus of three contestants on House of Games, Spain borders Italy.

All good clean fun.

This random Challenge seems to be almost exclusively taken fro m sweetp’s kill list.Another one requiring an older version to beat top score(I remember this one as I had to use a very early version to squeeze into top ten as part of my Ultra Sharpshooters Badge).

As for using older versions @hunnybunny…(those dots represent me blowing a raspberry)..boast my scores indeed,

See a humpbacked whale ate an Indian looking gentleman then spat him out.Do you think he fancied a Chinese?

Goodnight all.

A rare sighting of the raspberry ellipsis there.

Seen in Pedants’ Corner in Mumsnet (don’t ask).

“If you blow a raspberry…how would you spell it? Please help it is bugging me and a group of friends”

Context is everything, I guess. It’s the friends that worry me most.

There were 35 replies.

There was then a discussion about the difference (spelling wise) between a raspberry and a wet fart.

This is the final destination for thousands of years of human civilisation.

Please mind the gap.

[Brian N]

Curiously it’s the same spelling as the Klingon word for strawberry.

See Dr Trumpenstein and his loyal serf Egor Musk are finally tackling the issues that really matter.After signing yet another executive order and throwing his pen into an adoring crowd he said:

“Drill baby drill! er not that one… er Who gives a frack?… er no wait it’s on the tip of my tongue …Who gives a shit about turtles?”

Yes in his effortless drive to save the planet he’s banning paper straws and thank goodness we don’t want them going soggy while obese Americans drool over their massive portions.Is it possible for a single nation to be described as an axis of evil?

[Desperate Dan]

Re: my previous comment about the final destination.

Forget wet farts. How could thousands of years of human advancement end up with such wilfully obscene ignorance? It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

[Brian N]

Tune.

Now I know what you’re all thinking-K is going to be a tricky one.But no here’s an Ivor Novello  nominated Kemosabe.Should have won in my unbiased opinion.

Hi @vuelva I know you like to observe from the sidelines but before you disappear into the ether(otherwise known as The Lurkers Lounge) wondered if you ever played the early version of Seasons that had the Santa Hat Glitch?It’s V 1.1.0 or 1.1.1 I believe.(Can already feel @hunnybunny rolling back her eyes)Been trying forever to get hold of said versions and came close with HD 1.1,0 but it seems different properties to android v.Certainly doesn’t have the glitch.Any info welcome.This one’s for you…https://youtu.be/3eU5OSM-cNo?si=QwWia_6n51_zyeCM

The wonder of YouTube. I heard this song just once about 45 years ago, never managed to ever hear it again or work out who they were, but here it is, popping up out of the ether, If you like the Undertones, you will like this.

[Brian N]

Must say I can’t recall hearing The Moondogs before was that Mike Reid on air guitar?

Wigan 0-1 Leigh

Not a very exciting football match I hear you say but no this was Betfred Superleague season opener and let me tell you it was gripping.Leigh’s defence was magnificent and they deserved to nick it in extra time.(0-0 at full time-not a first apparently).It was like a cross between chess and WWF.

[Brian N]

Queen to A-6;Roundhouse to the head.Your move.

[Desperate Dan]

The RL match is a complete reversal of  high scoring football matches being said to be running up a rugby score (or even cricket!!!). Did the commentators say that Wigan and Leigh were running up a football score?  And did they say that extra time was looming.

In fact I have never (repeat never) heard a football commentary referring to an impending penalty shootout with a verb different from looming. That’s what penalties always do, they loom.

Watching Celebrity Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls on Netflix. Celebs don’t hunt bears, they themselves are hunted by Bear. What a load of wusses. Trying to hide from Bear for just 60 minutes in Costa Rican jungle is universally “the most difficult thing, mentally and physically, they have ever done in their life”.

Really? I mean really? And Bear is just pawing them gently…so far.

[Brian N]

Celebrities being hunted by grizzlies would definitely have me tuning in.Making a list as we speak.

[Brian N]

Another puppy-not-puppy.The screenshots are appearing now in the Nest album is it just that no one is taking on @sweetp duties?

[Brian N]

Found another guilty pleasure(seem to find a lot don’t I?).This one is called Black Doves with IKEA Knightly(actually she’s quite good in this) and Ben(“If my character isn’t gay I’m not doing it!”)Wishaw.Nothing special but entertaining enough.

[Desperate Dan]

Yes, I watched Black Doves about a month ago. It has legs, i.e. it deserves another series. Knightly and Wishaw are both very good. Need to suspend belief a bit but hey, it’s escapism and I didn’t feel guilty a bit.

Nor did I feel guilty about Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen being savaged by Bear in the Bear Hunt.

 

[Desperate Dan]

Forgot the spoiler.

[Desperate Dan]

I just got a message when I tried to post twice in a row “Slow down, you move too fast.” I’ve never seen that before. Bl***y cheek!

[Brian N]

I’m only on ep2 so shhhh!

[Brian N]

I get that message all the time Dan,I’m like a ninja.

[Desperate Dan]

Well you will enjoy Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen being mauled by Ben Wishaw dressed as a bear in Episode 5 then @brianN.

[Brian N]

Well I know what you’ll be doing today @desperate-dan some of us on the other hand have work to do.

[Desperate Dan]

Reached 84k first bird but still no luck. But spring seems to have arrived today in these parts of the western fringes and I have been pruning my rosebush.

It’s all go.

[Desperate Dan]

Almost up to 1000 comments in the refurbished BP. It will be almost exactly 6 months.

Compare that to 160363 comments in the old premises. If we carry on at the rate we are doing we will sail past that figure in a mere 80 years.

But if we hurry up a bit, we could get there by the end of the century. @hunnybunny will be on her thirty-third new knee by then.

But still in a bad mood.

[Brian N]

‘Fraid Winter’s grip is still upon us here 3deg top whack and sleet forecast tomorrow.Sleet’s good I get a day off can’t wangle it just for cold damp air.

ps This is just not good use of your AB time @desperate-dan.That second shot on Classic doesn’t pay out.
