Things you've always wanted to know......

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Being only a wee chap he was extensively used as the stunt double for one of the babbies in the dangerous scene involving the fire breathing trick motorcycle rider. They CGI’d the beard out.

Was going to watch the Call The Midwife Christmas Special tonight but you've ruined it for me now -

:D I take it CTM was filmed in the Highlands ?

Not on our viewing list - I mean I'm a huge fan of Miranda but being at the birth of our two kids was enough , I don't need to see Miranda deliver babies - running along a street cupping her breasts , yes , that's pure comedy , better than 4 candles even , but dressed up as some 50s Nurse , no thank you .

Back in the day we had a Geordie lecturer at poly who would pronounce it ‘rowt’ like the yanks do, so maybe there are enclaves in this country that say it similarly.

Lie. He says it in the opening lines.
I would do anything for love
I'd never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
Oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that
No, I won't do that
EDIT: Turns out there's even more things...
"It's the line before every chorus," explained Loaf. "There's nine of them, I think. The problem lies because Jimmy likes to write, so you forget what the line was before you get to 'I won't do that.'" (Some of the things the song says he won't do: forget the way you feel right now; forgive himself if you don't go all the way tonight; do it better than he does it with you, so long; and stop dreaming of you every night of his life.)

As we now adopt years 1-11 in schools nowadays, why is it called "Sixth Form" when you stay on. Why not twelfth or thirteenth form?

Don't think they ever have Puff.

They're achieving what they set out to do; just make a s**t ton of money.
