The Culture Cup Round x - Adam is a naughty naughty boy

First topic message reminder :

Great idea, Rick. Like windscreen wipers on a duck's butt.

Goliath Beetle?

Morning Tino...

May use that as a tie breaker in a quiz I am writing.

Popped into Northwich on Thursday, riCK. Just briefly to pick someone up.

Lots of empty shop units. Lots of them.

Morning.

The centre is screwed mate, but they are re-generating all the quayside, and have done up some other stuff, so kind of a 5h1t or bust re-do from the council.

If it works fair play, if it doesn't then no one will be surprised.

Around the civic hall area is nice but the centre does look a little sorry for itself. Got a nice eccles cake from a bakery though.

I got caught behind the mother of all accidents on the M6. Nipped off up the A41 to Whitchurch but so did half the M6. Took me 5 hours and 20 minutes to get from Birmingham to Runcorn.

I bet it was a women driver.

Just saw a Goshawk take out a pigeon right in front of the smoking area. F*cking mental.

Yeah they have done the Memorial Hall area up now, hopefully it gets back on it's feet, probably needs a floating accommodation place to put it on the map...

You sure it was a goshawk and not a sparrowhawk?

An interesting fact Tino, although not as good as the ones posted toward the end of last week.

Tino, go have some more coffee

Mental - never take out a pigeon in front of the smoking area - you're just asking for trouble.

Yes. Just googled it.

Fair enough. I've never seen a goshawk in urban areas, as they tend to hunt over woodland but that's a hell of a spot for you. I'm quite envious.

I live in the middle of nowhere and very rarely see goshawks.

You drove past here when you went to the hospital - it's the last urban area the other side is all woodland and further up is the airport behind where there is more woodland. Basically Junction 10 of M1 and anything to the right of you as you drive up from herts. It was fecking massive, and it killed the pigeon a bit too quickly to be a sparrowhawk.

That's great stuff. I'd love to see that.

Sparrowhawk hunts are two a penny but seeing a goshawk take something in flight is definitely not.

What a great day for you.

Called up again to get on pop master so playing the waiting game.

Got all three qualifiers right today:

Randy Crawfords first hit was "Someday I will......."?
Hold the Line was whose first UK hit
What Diana Ross song released in 86 was written by the BeeGees

I dunno, it's been so up and down lately so this might mean my heavily pregnant wife will fall over and break my glass chess set.

It's a damn good chess set.

Lots of birds about today, i'm not sure whats going on. Lots of twittering in the trees outside and theres 15 ducklings and 4 ducks in the pond . What looks like a robin poking around near the gardener and there appears to be a massive black bird, raven or Jackdaw maybe but it's head is obscured by the shrubbery.

Correction: Massive in relation to other common birds. Not massive as in a neutron f*cking star.

A neutron star is tiny in comparison to other stars...

But has more actual mass... So not as famous as other stars but much fatter. Come on Rick, keep up.

Been snubbed again by the looks of things

Its mass is just more compact not necessarily greater...

So it as heavy, and slimmer, meaning more muscle, less fat, in this particular metaphor?

Just holler if you get on mate, then we can name drop.

They are clearly unaware of what a wonderful wit and raconteur you are.

Are you being racist again? And 7 miles across isn't compact and might be a conservative estimate ...


For oprah

I was going to say you were in my top 2 favourites on air too.

Maybe mate, I lose track of what is and isn't these days, I didn't mention fried chicken though, so that's a plus.

I scored 21 points in the first round.

Is that good?

You get 42 points per correct answer rick

Ah, thanks for the clarification...

Got his name right then?

rick_dagless wrote:Ah, thanks for the clarification...

Only his first name.

I got 21 in round 2 as well (same as the guy who won)

You get 10 questions 7 of which are worth 3 points and 3 are worth 6 points. I got 5x3 and 1x6

Good effort by the looks of it mate...

Well done.

It was. What do you win?

I didnt get on! So I won nothing. I was just saying what I would have scored if I was on!

You win a DAB radio

Is that all? SEN.

The ways of the swear filter are a constant mystery to me.

I am not even sure which word was censored...

Spicy chicken wings, and some green olives, thinking about maybe heading down to the canteen for some chips later.. 4/10

Adam will probably get on this week when I'm on lates so I'll miss him giving a shout out to Tina which, for my money, would be worth switching over to Radio 2 for

SERIALED...

Afternoon DAVE, can I assume that it is sunny up in Bradders as well as here in the deep dark south?

Very nice weather Rick although I'm stuck in the office whilst the dregs of society parade up and down displaying vast amounts of flesh, necking their own weight in alcohol and attempting to avoid getting arrested for fingering each other (basically it's like Sean's in town)

Nice, I was in Saltaire for the Dragon boat racing thing on Saturday, the sights there ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous...

Also I suspect shares in aftersun have gone through the roof, how people do not understand that lack of clothes plus not used to sun = going to have a bad time.

Also, lycra should be a privilege and not a right.

Dress for the body you have, not the body you want.

Mate of mine put a picture of his horrific sunburn on FACEBOOK, thing is, he's half Asian.

I have seen a lot of that recently on The FACEBOOK, seems to be a badge of honour for some reason...

But watching human lava lamps in fluorescent coloured tightly fitting clothing jamming pies into to their "not long in this world" children, puts me off my alcohol consumption quite frankly.

Snob. Rowleyesque he will be proud but peed about you complaining about pies like tino a southern Nancy whose name I shall not mention
