Tuber Mirum

Oh Tepmus, you are too good. Your turn again.

What about Drew Barrymore?

OK, who is this Eminent Tea Drinker on the beach at Bexhill, and who is the lady next to him? And why?

Arthur Miller.

Dick van Dyke?

That's frightening, I'm sure everyone will agree.

Your turn.

OK, here's a clue: He has directed only seven films, two of which he was in, and he has written almost no science fiction.

Had to Google him. Live and learn. But no it's not him, or Fugit. As far as I know.

Nope.

I already had Human Body and was trying to work out if Pounds of Carbon would be about right. No it isn't Peter Sellers.

Think about it: Arthur C. Clarke was warmish. Stanley Kubrick was slightly warmer. Leonard Rossiter was not a bad guess in a way. So what are we looking for?

You said that with such conviction, that I'm going to give you a point. But no, it isn't Lord Lucan.

Now you're just being silly!

Kubrick? Probably way too obvious... In a way even warmer, but still not right. Leonard Rossiter? Not bad. Not bad at all. But still wrong.

Kubrick? Probably way too obvious... In a way even warmer, but still not right.

Arthur C. Clarke is sort of warm, in a way.

I can see where you're coming from Josco, but no.

Here's a quiz: Whose socks are these?

I do apologise for saying that, Hein. I'm sure you are a very nice and friendly person. Which part of Germany do you live in? It seems you're barking up the wrong tree. I don't live in Germany. I live in the Netherlands, a few hundred kilometers north and west from the Original Poster, Notapotato. If you were to call me a lippy Dutch thug I wouldn't mind much, as being lippy is an integral part of being Dutch. regards, Hein Oh dear Hein, you are behind the times! I now live about 400Km to the east of you, and very slightly north. Although I will admit my current location is way, way south of there, thank goodness.

Dunno. Was the goose armed and dangerous? regards, Hein If you're going to be REALLY fucking stupid enough to discharge an air rifle in a public park, then you deserve to be fucking JAILED, not fined. PRICK!!!!! There was only me and my cousin in the park when I shot the bird. Why did you have a gun with you while visiting the park with a seven year old? Would you call yourself a positive role-model? And how did you manage to hit a goose on the ground while shooting "in the air"? Are you extremely uncoordinated? Your statements certainly are. And who fined you if there were only the two of you there? Did, as if by magic, a park keeper appear? I put it to you that you are a shite-talking utter dickhead. I put it to you that you are a lippy German thug who wants a good smack. The goose was flying when I fired my gun. I often go in the park - but I don't usually take my gun. Canada geese are very aggressive - and it is a known fact that gunshots scare them off. I got fined when I went to the police station. I wasn't arrested - I went of my own accord. Well it's a few years since I lived in Glasgow, but I can imagine it might be some people in certain parts of the South Side's idea of a nice afternoon out to take the kids down to the park to shoot at geese. If you were taking any care of the lad at all, you would have made sure he didn't go anywhere near any geese and definitely didn't try to feed them And as far as I'm aware, an air rifle doesn't really make much noise. You'd have done better, if your intention really was to frighten them off, with a popgun or just clapping your hands and shouting "boo!" I won't disagree with your calling me a lippy German thug though, because I like the idea of being thought of that way.

Grunch Road. Free to read online. Not read it myself yet like, but it's by one of that growing tribe of Authors Who are Also Deathlisters, so it deserves our support.

The version I always used to listen to was the audio one from Monty Python's Previous Record. Here's the first transcription I found with Google. Plain as the nose on your face.
