Truth or Lie?

Lie

Although if it is true, then the reasoning must be seriously interesting.

true or false

men are 4 times likly to be hit by lightening than women?

Lie

But Argyll does have a longer coastline than France.

you double bluffed me - i checked it out and frances coastline is about ten times longer..

The site I looked at had france with about 5500km of coastline.

All the stats differentiate between shoreline and coastline.
Make sure you're talking apples and apples!

True kwinni
Should have been shoreline.
Think Mull of Kintyre, Loch Linnie etc.

Mistey

I would say that is true on the logic that more men work and play outdoors than women, and they are generally taller!

I read somewhere that Retief Goosen's been hit twice !

you are right it is true. Personally i put it down to more men playing golf

Doon is old enough to remember when the great John White was struck and killed when in his footballing prime . . . . . Not to mention the Highgate / Enfield game a year or two later.

Seen him play Kwinni.
One of the best inside forwards in Scottish football.

To all those born after 1955.
An inside forward played an attacking role in a club that played with a set up of three central backs two midfielders and FIVE forwards unlike the modern game where we have FIVE defenders, four midfield players and one forward.
The ball was heavy leather, the boots were solid leather with 2" leather studs, the hair was short and brylcreamed, there was no substitutes, shorts were long and footballers were real men.
[and a half time fag was seen as normal]

Wasn't it goalkeeper, right back, left back, right midfielder, centre half, left midfielder, right wing, inside right, centre forward, inside left and left wing and they were usually numbered 1-11 in the above order?

right half, left half, if you please . . . .

Of course,

The centre half nearly always played in the centre of a back three
The inside forwards tended to play slightly deeper than the wingers and centre forward.

Mary's father has five daughters

Nana, Nene. Nini and Nono

What is the name of his fifth daughter

Her names Mary

Depends what order they were born in I guess.

Sorry Mac.

I was joking, but people do tend to number children in order of birth so given that the question listed the five daughters it would be as good a way to order them as any other.


New question

Who was the last american to win a regular (non major, wgc, co sanctioned nonsense) European tour event?

DiMarco?

Kwini

For feck sake, if that is true you could have held it back a bit longer, to make my question look a little respectable. I haven't even had time to find out the answer yet.

I will report back soon.

Kwini

You are wrong with Di Marco for non major, wgc or co samctioned events.

on top of the original question if we expand the question to co sanctioned events that are not the HSBC champions event who is.

What about Tiger? Couple dubai wins though that could be wrong or someone that won the matchplay O'meara!

yep

Tiger won the 2008 desert classic.

now what about including the events co sanctioned with some Asian tours?

Clue: I'm an actor, thanks.

Didn't Ben Curtis win something a couple of years ago?

Yes SR
I was thinking the same.

Sorry guys, cant remember the answer and wont be able to find out at work so if someone else wants to post the results go for it.

Tiger Woods
