First topic message reminder :

Happy New Year 2019 everyone!

Morning rick. We're over 70% there. I'm sure we could reach it with a quiz or two.

Ooh, I have a quiz, I will pop it up when I get a mo.

Good long weekend?

it wasn't too bad. Didn't do a great deal. Will be glad when this week is done. Hero has done a quiz in the Quiz & Games section, but I don't think anyone has replied. He really ought to have posted it in the CC.

Mine was pretty hectic, but good fun.

We could always copy and paste it here, I guess.

Herby chicken salad in a brioche bun - 4/10 Brioche buns are not nice...

And the c**ts have f**ked my tax code... Again, not the brioche buns, but HMRC.

Why buy a brioche bun if you don't like them?

It was the works canteen, Jules, not many options.

It is rare I eat there, the food is normally quite good, I keep thinking I should enjoy brioche, but never seem to.

I very rarely broach the subject of what I had for lunch. It's stew personal mentioning rare bits on some threads.

Morning, fist.

Hopefully Hero will put his quiz here later...

It could bring the crowds flocking back to the CC.

Nice palindrome Julius.

Morning all. Congratulations on the palindrome, Julius.

Thanks guys.
Only 15 more posts until I exceed Tino's total. I couldn't be more excited if it were Christmas.

I'm not sure the first question is worded very well.

Netherlands is the answer if he's talking about the first country to legalize it, but I read the question as asking us to name the first country to legalize it this year. Maybe just dim-wittedness on my part.

I thought this year so went for the US, which I am not convinced about

Netherlands isn't correct for Q1. It's decriminalized there rather than legal.

It's not this year btw, it occurred in 2017.

Hmm, I thought Toxic was right... Am I getting my organisations wrong?

(edit - just googled it and I knew this but got my orgs wrong...)

Toxic was Oxford word of the year I seem to recall when researching it?

Morning. Who's on fist?

4. Bebe Rexha
5. Philadelphia Freedom... Fighters

Morning, PJ.

Sicond

Morning Rick.

Are you off the yoghurt medication now?

Just about mate, feeling fairly tip top, barring slightly chapped lips...

How are you doing?

I'm doing well thanks mate. A decent thunderstorm underway here.
Some idiots moving a sofa into a truck in the pouring rain just before. (not mine... different colour)

I love watching a good thunderstorm from somewhere dry, one of the great pleasures in life.

Idiots, alas, are everywhere, I am sure that the following squelches for months will teach them the error of their ways...

This one is good. I can see my Christmas tree reflected in the pool of all places... which is quite well rain-pitted.

Don't think those guys next door have too much upstairs.

No doubt there will be lots of:
"I swear to God it was dry at Uncle Harry's when we picked it up. This squelching is unacceptable, bro. Tell Ayisha to bring more towels. Hurry bro!"

Massive lightning bolt just then. Like a giant mortar shell... went right over and maybe struck a few doors down.

Morning. I'm not Laverne DeFazio.

Sad news. I hope she's enjoying her Pepsi Cola up there.

Sorry to hear about the Solihull Moors too, Jules. Their prospects must now seem even bleaker now they're out of the cup?

Not at all. The money from the cup run - both matches vs Blackpool were on TV - should be a welcome boost as they push for promotion. This time last year they were bottom of the league. Currently they are fifth.
But it would have been awesome to play Arsenal, had they won last night.

I see.. they're only 6 points from the leaders. So the FA Cup performance is a sign of good times ahead. Do you follow them closely as well as having a team you like in the Premier League?

We usually go to see them once or twice a year. Same for Birmingham City.

Fist pump

Congratulations, PJ. I was very much hoping for a birthday fist but it just wasn’t to be. Maybe next year, probably on this same thread.

Is it by any chance your birthday today Galted?

JuliusHMarx wrote:Is it by any chance your birthday today Galted?

It is! How on earth did you know? It’s uncanny.

It's a gift.
Which I would have got for you, if I'd known it was your birthday.

Great to see so many people on one thread who must love Steve Bruce. Might save any birthday congratulations for Twitter, keeps things interesting.

Cheers, but I received a plethora of gifts: 3 books, a monthly cheese delivery and a pair of socks (even if one of the books, ostensibly from the cat, looks suspiciously like one Galtova wanted). I also received a gif on Twitter from Ziggler which was very thoughtful.

Sorry mate. Guess it'll have to wait for next year. Hope you had a great birthday anyway.

Morning, guys.

Time to start Christmas shopping today.

Fist.

Morning rick. Hope I get a fist for Christmas.

Morning, Jules, I hope you do too.

That would have put a different slant on the Mariah Carey song.
