Culture Cup 2.0 Round 4

First topic message reminder :

Round 3 of the Culture Cup 2.0 draws to an end, and what an exciting round it wasn’t.  One can always tell when a thread is going badly when it resorts to puns to keep it going.  The big winner of round 3 was our resident champion and obvious culture vulture, Hero, who bagged another full house of points with The Colour Of Magic.  I’ve not read it so can’t comment on whether it’s any good, but the general consensus of the thread is that it’s not even Pratchett’s best work so perhaps a lucky win for Hero.  Paul scooped up another solid haul of 8 points with the BFG.  I have read that.  I liked it.  Preferred The Witches though.  Perhaps the biggest surprise was Sean picking up 8 points for Lord Of The Flies.  This is the guy who rates Independence Day in his top 3 films.  I don’t think he has read the book, but has almost certainly sh*gged numerous members of William Golding’s extended family.  Male and female.  Solid round for C&R, GrumpyG*lfer and, significantly, Jeff who has streaked away from his arch rival Gordon Strachan superfly with his Adrian Mole nomination.  There is a lesson here, Jeff.  Stop lying about how cultured you are with your usual pompous picks and chose stuff you actually have read/heard/watched.  Look how well your belated honesty has served you in this round.  A few non-scorers again with weeman, Ray Mears and Union Cane all failing to register a vote.  Jules had his 2.0 hymen smashed in by Voltaire and finally troubles the scorers.  Galted failed to muster a single vote (well, apart from the 2 cruel bastards who voted then snatched them away again) and remains on nil points.  The only upside for him is that he is underneath a massive pile of men.  Again.  Happy days, Galted, happy days.

The updated league looks like this:

1: Hero  26 pts
2: Paul  20 pts
3: Harrier  16 pts
4: Trebs  14 pts
5: Ziggler  13 pts
6: Adam  12 pts
7: C&R  12 pts
8: SerialDAVE  9 pts
9: The Boss  9 pts
10: Azzy  8 pts
11: Nakatomi  8 pts
12: Jeff  8 pts
13: GrumpyG*lfer 8 pts
14: Michaels  8 pts
16: Shah  7 pts
17: Beadle  6 pts
18: Weeman  5 pts
19: superfly   4 pts
20: Union Cane  3 pts
21: Dagless  3 pts
22: Julius  2 pts
23: Stella  2 pts
24: Galted  0 pts

Let it go, G*lfer. Let it go.

I accidentally touched Alastair McGowan in the crotch, went to shake his hand and missed.

I once woke up in bed next to euro popstar Lolly.

Let it go, G*lfer.  Let it go.

I am allowed to ask who Idina Menzel is, or will that signal me out as an uneducated buffoon?

Just googled her, very good.

The mixing up of "I" and "am" would do that.

Did she have her assets in a trolley?

Rowley wrote:Just googled her, very good.

Just did the same, has somebody told her that if she tilts her head forward her jaw won't look so square?

It doesn't work.

She also picked up three votes in the music round for best song by a female solo artist with Let it Go.

I noticed the squareness of her jaw. It really is quite prominent.

Does anyone want to say they still would, to cover for Sean not being here?

still would

Coulthardesque.

There's a newsreader with a similarly square head, sean would know her.

I would.

Right after G*lfer had played a round with her dad.

No, it was in the flat of the manager of 90's band Republica though for double name drop points.

Still no votes.

I'll get you to pick mine next time, tino.

I have one solitary vote which was more than I expected!

Capote?

Wise choice, Stella. Especially now I am not releasing the order of nominations till all the picks are in.

I could just chose you the best one and then say you came out top of the list.

btw, what's the topic for round 5?

Stella wrote:btw, what's the topic for round 5?

Greatest Force & Styles remix.

You don't work for FIFA by any chance Tino?

FIFA? The world governing body of football? Seriously, RiCk.

Stella wrote:btw, what's the topic for round 5?

It will be the 2nd and last music round but I haven't thought of a question yet.

One thing at a time, Stella.

Knowledge of football is not a pre-requisite...

Love of an expensive lifestyle and willingness to be corrupt is...

Check, check...

I'd need some equally corrupt lawyers to keep me safe.

You and superfly busy at the moment?

Round 5

Hardest animal to appear in the name of a non-US sports team and that is also incorporated into an REM lyric.

Animal, team name and REM song together to form nomination?

Music, sport, nature.

Now that's what I call culture, volume II.*

*I don't call it that.

I went to both those fights, SerialDAVE.  Next time I see Nigel I shall be asking for my money back.  Useless b*stard.

I didn't see Fred Elliott though.  I may have seen you but I wouldn't know if I had.

I nominate the Arkansas Sidewinder sleeps tonight

I used to work in Flixton a few years back (now that place is a s**thole) and nearly ran over the entire Man City team as they were jogging down the road near Carrington, it was back when they were pants though.
