@hunnybunny, if you really want to fry your brain!  I’ve done number 1..

The 1% Club is stressful.

Twiggy and I were on the beach at Red Dwarf (a.k.a. Red Wharf) Bay this morning and were shocked to discover thousands (in fact I would confidently venture millions) of dead baby starfish. An astonishing sight. Also hundreds of pieces of what I believe is called Sea Pork which looks unnervingly like swollen pink human…[Read more]

Anyway, need to catch up with Quizzy Monday.

On that theme, who can forget the immortal Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack duet “Tonight I Sellotape my Glove to You”. Once heard, never unheard.

Spoiler

Some sources claim that they are both the result of things misheard – in Paddy MacAloon’s case “peppered sprout” from a Johnny Cash song and in Jack White’s case, Salvation Army. I think the second has more truth, but anyway, those origin stories are both out there.

What connects Prefab Spout to Seven Nation Army?

Should have been Daniel (think about it…)

Some bloke called Darragh’s coming round tonight. I wouldn’t mind but he has terrible wind.

That was early Gregg banter.

Re: Getting names wrong.

My father for many years addressed somebody at the church every Sunday as  “Mr Bottoms”.  Turned out that wasn’t actually his name but was too polite to point out the mistake.

Lo0ks like all that Gregballs talk is driving the patrons away.

I thought I’d just go through Seasons and 3 star each level without reading any walkthroughs. Just for the craic. Some levels are insanely hard to get 3 stars in, much worse than anything in ABo. Not a lot of craic, TBH.

I think it would be far more of a scandal if the food was toxic.
