As this has gone quiet, I thought I would add a question.

In the TV show friends, who played Pete Becker? And who was his opponent in his first UFC match on the show?

I don't remember a Pete Becker in Friends, so cannit answer. Pants. Sorry!

Crusher, basher, gnasher, The Claw, Boston Strangler, New York knacker wrecker.......

Not a feckin Scooby.

Jon Favreaux played Pete Becker and he fought Tank Abbott.

anyone want to see if they can do better than me with the exam I had today

can't be hard

Go for it your Hodgeness.

I can't actually remember now obviously just want it wiped from my memory.

One of the smaller questions was name and define the three types of agression.

Sport Psychology can now eat my dust as i've finished it, providing I haven't failed either the assignment or the exam

1. Why did that fecier invade my space?

2. He's still doing it.

3. Ok, thats it, Im nutting de phhoker.

Raw, but an effort.

you do have the basis behind 2 of them though

1. retaliatory or defensive?
2. attack for no reason - like a predator?
3. somewhere in between 1 and 2?

Passive-agressive is one - I've heard it a few times recently. I don't understand it though, what the feck does it mean?

"I'll just sit here and think about knocking him out?"

Either that or it's someone who starts fights because he enjoys getting beaten up.

Hadn't heard passive aggressive before see if this helps, one sounds like when a country declares war, they open ........ Wit x, another think musical, and the third is like when you are putting your point across forcably

Well the first one is obviously Hostility, the third is possibly belligerent or argumentative hostility? As for "think musical"? Is it Gangsta Rap?

How'd I do? Huh? How'd I do?

Erm... fire waltz shouting?

i'll give you the first one as it's hostile, where the primary goal is to injure someone and the actions are outside the rules.

May as well say the other 2, the musical one i refered to was instrumental, where there is intent to harm, but the main goal is to win, thirdly is assertive.

PJ as you got one you have a go

Damn decent of you Hodge, wouldn't have got there in a long time.... or ever, maybe.

As punishment for his indiscretions against the rest of Europe, Napoleon Boneparte served two terms of exile on two different islands.

Which were they?

Elba is one. i.e. "Able was I ere I saw Elba" I don't know the other so I will guess Corsica which I'm not sure is an island.

Good effort Thomond, one point for Elba, you can have half a point for Corsica which was actually his birthplace, think exploding volcanoes in the 80's and it might give you a clue - not where the island is but the name of it....?

Etna?

Oh! Just noticed the palindrome

Not Etna Hobo, the one you're looking for blew it's top clean off. North America.

Elba and St Helena.

I knew that.

You're right you know, you're not wrong.

How many fingers am I holding up?

Okay, that's a stupid question. (And the answer was none, I wasn't holding up any fingers).

What was Syd Barrett's real first name?

10-4

I you mean what I think you mean by 10-4, then you're right. But you'll have to say it!

Have you ever pretended to be a Doctor Lucky?



"10-4 that Rubber Duck, looks like we've got ourselves a convoy."

Roger, Ok?

Yup, Roger. Syd suited him better, though.

Definitely not a Roger.

Possibly a roysh Rodger. He was.

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between an "ab" and a hernia, I mean they both "stick out" right?

Also, is 44 years old too old for exercise?

I'm only asking because I went to lift some free weights last night, and the first time I set myself for some squats, I lifted the bar over the back of my neck and it sounded like someone had just poured a lot of milk into a giant bowl of Rice Krispies.

Ta.

For de crispies & weights and sheet.

Is 44 too old to exercise? Man, PJ yer havin a larf aren't ya?

Im 55. I can still shag in mid-air.

Just sayin kid.

Believe.

PJ - need to be careful. I had similar injury (nearly a hernia) when overdoing exercises. Turns out my technique was slightly off. All it takes is one wrong move. You've got to 'visualise the core' if you know what I mean - take the strain there... not on your extremities (i.e exterior muscles) which can tear pretty badly if your not careful.

Thanks fellas, Gibbo for the laugh and Breaker for the information.

I think I'm OK, the slight bulge in my belly is quite hard and feels "muscle ache" sore - I think daddy has his first ab for 10 years

What's the largest organ of the human body?

The skin.

Gwoan Lucky, your turn.
