  1. Be even cheaper on Boxing Day, if you can put up with the creases until then.
  2. Buy her a new one and tell her it's her Christmas present? Just a thought...
  3. Are these from the Chinese translations? I like the Stoke one although Chelsea is a pretty accurate description.
  4. Don't bugger about with safety. A new iron is cheap. The leads get a lot of wear because they're always being moved and stretched.
  5. I think I've seen that in Asda.
  6. Three shots were fired in total. The first missed, the second went through Kennedy's neck and into Governor Connolly and the third hit Kennedy on the back of the right side of his head and fragmented giving a very large exit wound. There was a very interesting TV programme many years ago which was in the form of an inquest at which many of the original witnesses gave evidence including the autopsy surgeon. He showed a drawing or it might have been an x-ray of the bullet fragments in Kennedy's skull. The second bullet is often referred to as the 'magic bullet' because it appeared to have fallen out of Connolly onto the hospital trolley completely undamaged. There was nothing in the evidence to suggest that Oswald did not or could not have killed Kennedy but one witness described seeing somebody the other side of the underpass with a rifle who put it into the trunk of his car and drove off. The witness followed him for some distance and even took the licence number but none of the officials was interested at the time and he eventually threw the number away.
  7. It's a foreign language to me. @whogivesatoss
  8. It was settled at a tribunal. Biscuits go soft, cakes go hard. Which side are you on?
  9. Yup. We've all been there.
  10. It's more a test of how good your mouse is, and what happens if your wrist is in plaster? This discriminates against the physically disadvantaged. How would professor Stephen Hawking do on this part of the test?
  11. Perfectly plausible. Perhaps he was trying to save money by posting himself to Scotland and Parcelforce* never turned up? * Insert name of any delivery company here.
  12. 30 this time and I still couldn't hit a yellow splodge. That anagram thing is more a test of mouse skills than anything else. If you don't drop the letter in the middle of the square it doesn't count. Why can't I just type the answers in?
  13. 34 Or was it 37? I can't quite remember. Not bad for a 64-year old. There are some flaws in it. Clicking on yellow stars when you've got a split on your wrist is no joke and when I entered VINE for an anagram of VEIN it told me I was wrong and that the answer is VINE.
  14. Hmm... which desktop theme are you using? Are you using Aero?
  15. Relegation? I very much doubt it. Arsenal have not been relegated since 1913
  16. Funnily enough, I think I prefer it.
  17. Exactly so. Occam's Razor, innit.
  18. Which one's Mayler? As I saw it one of the contestants was accidentally blocked and the player in the penalty area was only trying to even things up.
  19. This is an opportunity for experimentation and the results are not the be-all and end-all that they have been. I would expect to see most, if not all, of the squad members get some time in these two games.

  21. I think we are getting better all the time so I would expect our relative position to improve.
  22. If we're up there we are certainly in it. I think we have improved since the start of the season and our league position is certainly no fluke. We are not just beating teams at home, we are completely outclassing them. As we all know, the next few games will be the important pointers. If we're still up there after those then we are definitely in with a chance.
  23. Yes, unbelievably poor. The ref saw what he wanted to see.
