What do we need to do to win?

Actually, the full question was

OFFS ! What do we need to do to win?

and I ask it every year about this time...

SC

I will reply. Just in shock at both results. No way did I expect a draw with Wire...

Dan Parks has retired from international rugby, which would be great news if he wasn't one of our best players...

The Hull Wire game was entertaining - on the wireless at least, and you can see the highlights here

EDIT: There's no highlights for the other game...

There is a God.

Maybe there is a god or maybe there is not. In any case, all questions seem to have been asked, and no new ones have been posted for a while. Thank you everybody for participating in this thread. It was fun, but now it's time to close it.

Hey people, I didn't realise that this topic was in the Bedlam forum... I'm sorry for that! Topic reopened.

Now, I'm ready to get flamed, so go ahead.

Its too late - the questions have all gone...

Where have all the questions gone?

I meant: there was no highlights to show.

I imagine, on the BBC highlights show, they showed the anthems, and an interview with the Princess Royal, and perhaps a few blokes buying pints at the bar... in the old days they could have shown the trains going past, as well...

Why is nostalgia so crap nowadays?

When you get as old as me you don't HAVE any more questions.

All I have is answers that nobody wants to hear or pay attention to.

I mean, who wants to listen to a wrinkly old codger with an evil glint in his eye?

Are there no trains any more in Scotland?

Shame...I used to enjoy falling asleep and missing my stop then having to thumb a lift from Auld Reekie back to Arbroath. That's probably been banned as well has it? <sigh>

Since they built the new stand at Murrayfield about twenty years ago, you can't see the trains anymore, so there's nothing to do in the stadium but drink

When will it ever end?

Why doesn't anyone play Mornington Crescent any more?

How do you stop it?

When a fly lands on a ceiling ......Does he use a half loop maneuver or a half roll to land?

Why doesn't anyone play Mornington Crescent any more?

I preferred to get off at Euston and walk to Aldwych.

How do you stop it?

File a report to the Health and Safety Executive.

Or shoot it.

When a fly lands on a ceiling ......Does he use a half loop maneuver or a half roll to land?

A clever fly does a forward loop.

Why doesn't anyone play Mornington Crescent any more?

I think they'e been relegated

A clever fly does a forward loop.

wouldn't that mean he was already flying inverted?

Why, when you drop something, does it always manage to roll/bounce/skid to the most awkward place to pick it up?

........

For example, I dropped my keys when getting out of the car, they fell onto the side of my foot, skidded off about 90cm to the right and fell through a 3cm wide lifting hole in a 15cm thick drain cover, which necessitated the use of a crane to remove the cover, and a boy on a rope to go down the hole to retrieve the key from the sludge at the bottom.

One word: "clutz".

I'm impressed you can drop kick your keys so precisely. Would you be eligible to play for Scotland?

Why do they call it taking a crap when you never really take it anywhere?

Should it not be called leaving a crap?

why do you buy tuna in brine/spring water and then proceed to drown it in mayonnaise before you make a tuna sandwich? wouldn't tuna packed in oil, which is cheaper and always more available, be a better selection?

Why do folks let animals crap on the floor in their homes ?

Have you ever tried house-training cockroaches?

Why do folks let animals crap on the floor in their homes ?

Because it's hard to teach them to crap on the ceilings.

Have you ever tried house-training cockroaches?

Yes , and they are fine now . Just part of the family really , if only they could talk .

God forbid... it was bad enough when the kids started...

And remember, you can't hide anything from cockroaches. It'll be the end of skeletons in the cupboard.

I've spent the better part of my life trying to answer the question of how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. I just haven't got the mathematical depth to get to the bottom of it. Consequently I've encouraged my daughter to pursue a degree in higher mathematics with the excuse that careers in the sciences may be more beneficial in the future. I've never disclosed my true motive but I hope to live long enough to attend her Nobel Prize ceremony and bask in her reflected glory after she's unlocked this riddle.

You should have started with a more basic tongue twister, like Peter Piper, because we know he picked a peck of pickled peppers. We only need to answer the question of how the peppers came to be pickled before they were picked.

These are the eternal questions that philosophers and mathematicians have grappled with for centuries. Maybe it's not for us to know.

You would KNOW the answer to the woodchuck question if you've ever studied woodchucks.

The answer is ... as much wood as woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Peter and his pecker is another story entirely.
