Happy Birthday!

[AFF]

Nope.

 

That's Schott's 'Miscellany of Trivia' that your thinking of, GHA. Very appropriate.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

I knew it was Schott's Miscellany, but I thought it may have a title as well.

[MK James]

 

Well done AFF.

 

I'd say sorry for putting a question on this thread but to quote from a very wise man "never apologise."

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Quote:

never apologise

I've heard that spoken before by someone who then went on to apologise for speaking out of turn.

Quote:

'Dad, is this one of those occasions where a simple apology would diffuse the whole situation?'
'I never apologise Lisa! I'm sorry but that's just the way I am.'
'But you're always telling us to apologise?!'
'Yeah, but I'm always secretly happy when you don't. And anyway, I think they're starting to crack.'
'I think you're starting to crack.'
'Apologise for that remark!'
'No way'.
'Good boy.'

There's my sandbox. I'm not allowed to go in the deep end. That's where I saw the leprechaun. He told me to burn things.

The Simpsons, quality show!!

[AFF]

No YA2003. That's not the answer.

 

'A Fools Alphabet'?

 

An interesting book. 26 chapters in chronological order but then the chapters are all jumbled and don't run chronologically.

 

Oh, by the way. YA2003. I'm still waiting for accreditation for my assistance with your answer to the England International quiz the other day.

[YELLOW]

Oh sorry AFF but to be honest mate I didn't actually see your list. I wrote out my list offline and by the time I posted my list a few people had got in before me.

 

If it makes you feel better, thanks anyway!

[GHA EFM]

Where was I heard that if someone says 'to be honest' that means they are lying?

 

To be honest, I can't remember.

[AFF]

Easily said, YA2003, easily said.

 

I'll take your thanks anyway!

[SteveP]

Trevinho, looked on your profile in a moment of Boredom and noticed you worked for a car company, wouldn't be anywhere near Maple Cross would it??

[AFF]

SteveP.

 

a). No.

 

. This is EFMsL birthday thread and there's a quiz in progress.

AFF - I do believe you are talking about Mr Faulks? (I have never read the book in question, but sold a few copies of it when I used to work in a bookshop)

 

I knew the other questions, except for the Barchester chronicles one. Easily said, I know, but what can I do if everybody else wants to answer my birthday questions?

 

Thanks for my birthday greetings everybody. A very enjoyable day was had by all (including Trevinho, and CZ, who spent the whole day drinking with me)

 

Why am I up at 8.30 on the morning after my birthday? - good question, especially considering I didn't get back from CZ's until 4 this morning. Just one of those strange things, I guess.

 

BTW - if you encounter Trev when he's asleep, DON'T try to wake him! We all saw a very odd side of him last night <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

AFF - especially for you, a 'literary' question to continue the trend

A. In which novel does the character 'Meursault' appear? (perhaps a little tricky, but they're only hard if you don't know them)

CYNIC HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WAS ME

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I joined the party at about 1am and was treated to CZ singing a personal concert for me!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Did Harry Enfield never play International Football? Or did he just make increasingly less funny TV sketch shows??

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

That'll be his rather poor "Harry Enfield televison program" that he made for SKY 1.

He had a gay footballers sketch - is this where the inspiration for you gay footbal icons came from???

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Hmmm, no it wasn't actually!!

 

Good link though - I can see why you're a DJ!!
