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…[Read more]

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 i…[Read more]

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.

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.

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.

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

All good clean fun.

Drinks are available plus assorted nibbles. Managed to overhaul asher in Birdday Party at last, the final Classics assisted episode where I hadn’t managed it. Now I need to sort out Bad Piggies where, somewhat implausibly, we are locked in a 5519790 to 5519790 dead heat for first place.

We need a representative in England. The rest of us regulars are all in the Celtic fringes. It’s a sub-culture thing.

“Naked lust for top runt” sums it up. Now that’s a headline I would like to see.

My contribution to British sub-culture is increasingly trying to find the worst answer to a quiz question on British television. “Worst” being defined by a combination of the degree of error and the degree of jaw-dropping nonsense.

Today’s question: How many households were listed in Birmingham at the time of the Domesday Book (i.e.…[Read more]

The psychic sprouts have spoken. I’m keeping that packet for Twiggy’s future predictions.

You’re off the case @karen68, relax.

@desperate-dan I’m no help! Not a football fan.

And don’t get me started on the 51st state thing. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

“Man’s pop-up urinal death may never be explained” is not a headline I ever expected or wanted to read.

What Challenge level are you talking about @brianN?  I’m seeing a Rio Carnival one and that’s clearly not what you are talking about.

Through the medium of Brussels sprouts (sprouts don’t lie*), Twiggy has chosen the Eagles.

*or something like that

If you are into strategies @vuelva, then Classics gives some new opportunities and is worth a try.
