    Bollocks. Not only is that a word I like, it's my reaction to anyone saying they misremembered something. It's not a synonym for 'forgot', its weasel-words for someone backtracking after they've been caught out in a lie.

    I can't listen to that piano intro without thinking Tony Green's gonna shout out 'it's a bullseye!' any second!

    Not a cowboy, but definitely a man, definitely on-screen, definitely before 1965, debatable if its cooking though.

    Defenestration had a much welcome resurgence a few years back thanks to Line of Duty 2.

    Words We Dislike

    Two words used together, but, I hate 'for free'; if you mean something has no charge attached then say 'free of charge'. It's not bloody difficult.

    World's Oldest

    If I may pedant... By that logic, the first century AD (or CE if you prefer) was only 99 years long as there was no year zero, so cant be a century. Logically, the first century AD is it's first hundred years, i.e. 1 AD to 100 AD; subsequent centuries hence start in (x)x01 and finish in (x)[x+1]00

    As has been noted several times in the past. I can almost feel Phantom die a little every time its posted. (For the record I'm in complete agreement, probably the abominablest thing out there.)

    The Weather

    Our local news is full of dire predictions of sub-zero temperatures and snow. Where's Deathray when you need him?

    Sheikh Down

    According to this Moroccan report, it was this feller, Chairman of Al-Watan, Saudi progressive newspaper. There are suggestions that he was trying to escape from an abduction attempt, accidentally killing himself in the process.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    Praise Be & Hallelujah, it was In Loving Memory as Brinsworth House resident Dame Thora Hird took the stairlift to heaven 15 years ago, aged 91. Brief excerpt from one of her later roles in 'Lost for Words', with Pete Postlethwaite.
  14. The existence of a report function had barely registered with me prior to this thread. *Notes for future reference*

    You'd fit in well in the team I play for. Chalker generally has to wear body armour.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    Eighty-five years since sled-dog Balto died aged 14. Famed for delivering the diptheria anti-toxin to Nome, Alaska. There's a statue of him in Central Park and his remains are mounted on display (see above) at The Cleveland Museum of Natural History. He was voiced by Kevin Bacon in the film (loosely) based on his life.

    I like that I've gone from =1st to 18th, yet still maintain the same position on the list. (Yes I'm easily amused).
