Story of my life Tino (though not if you ask Mrs Daggles)

by Rowley Thu 31 Jul 2014, 9:23 am

4 April Come She Will Simon and Garfunkel

Looks like the odd one out might be the one that does not contain a month, but not too sure I know the other two.

by Adam D Thu 31 Jul 2014, 9:38 am

2 November Rain

by **seanmichaels** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 9:38 am

4.) correct.

Wrong odd one out and reason. You definitely know 2.)

5.) will be pretty much impossible without googling

by **seanmichaels** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 9:39 am

2.) Correct sir.

Answer

1.) Green Day - When September Ends
2.) Guns'n'Roses - November Rain
3.) Rod Stewart - Maggie May
4.) Simon & Garfunkel - April Will She Come
5.) Bright Eyes - June on the west Coast

Odd one out - May has 31 days, the rest 30.

If only dear boy...

Pretty slow on here today, found myself experimenting on other threads, scary stuff...

For the record... Spanish Pork and apple burger with potato wedges, and it was very tasty indeed.

Afternoon all.

Been reading about PPV figures for about a week and have no energy for anything else.

Staggering that an exciting knockout by an exciting fighter can lead to an incredibly boring comparison of viewing figures.

by Adam D Thu 31 Jul 2014, 12:54 pm

1. Rising up, back on the street
2. Darken the city, night is a wire Steam in the subway, earth is a afire
3. Well I'm standing here looking at you, What do I see? I'm looking straight through
It's so sad when you're young, To be told you're having fun
4. On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life, There were plants and birds and rocks and things , There was sand and hills and rings
5. We move like cagey tigers We couldn't get closer than this The way we walk The way we talk

Odd one out and why

GGG super? I went onto the boards briefly saw a linked mayweather thread, a piece of my soul died, and came back over here.

5) Lovecats - the cure?

by Adam D Thu 31 Jul 2014, 12:59 pm

going for lunch - will be back in an hour to answer

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 1:01 pm

It 'll be a feline connection, should be OK when Jeff rocks up...

by **superflyweight** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 1:01 pm

4, because the rest are prime numbers. Although 1 is technically not a prime number so I guess I'm stumped.

by **Pal Joey** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 1:02 pm

4. Horse With No Name - America
5. Love Cats - The Cure

Something to do with cats, tigers (there's probably a lion in there); horse the odd one out?

by Adam D Thu 31 Jul 2014, 1:30 pm

Th songs are all correct, but no connection yet.

Aye. GGG knocks out Geale with what, at best, was an arm punch and instead of talking about that, the boxing boards decide to measure his worth by descending into a statistical analysis of his PPV figures. Utter madness. I think the internet should be taken away from us. I really do.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 1:44 pm

I often think the same, the virtual entirety of human knowledge at our fingertips, and we insists on looking at cats barking, and debating whether, Prime Mike can beat Godzilla, and what figure Boxnation would make from the re-match.

by Rowley Thu 31 Jul 2014, 1:45 pm

To respond to Chris' Walker thread the other day I looked through some of my old colour line greats threads. Going to sound egotistical but do you remember when we used to have threads about things on the boxing board.

by Rowley Thu 31 Jul 2014, 1:48 pm

Our cynicism has come back to bite us. Little did we realise that whether Barry Mcguigan was British going to rear its head. Strap in lads, this could get exciting.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 1:59 pm

I long for the days of Big Lar's pants...

by **88Chris05** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 2:02 pm

He boxed at the 1980 Olympics you know, Jeff. The first Olympics of the eighties. Or was 1980 part of the seventies?.....

But yes, the boxing board has gone to pot recently.

I admire your valiant efforts to keep it going Chris, but it is, I fear, akin to providing iPads to a chimp enclosure...

Might make jeff's afternoon fairly busy by posting that Barry McGuigan can't be Irish because I once saw him reading a book.

by Rowley Thu 31 Jul 2014, 2:23 pm

Do it Superfly.

Reference that this is why he is in HOF and you have nailed it...

by **seanmichaels** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 2:32 pm

Never understood the Irish thing. They're alright to play rugby together. Reckon it is stupid paddies up north just wanting a ruck. The ones down south seem much more pleasant.

Think I may have just dealt with this particular issue.

correct!

Adam are we looking for a link or an odd one out or neither?

Could it be no.2 as the rest are mammals and an an Ant is just another sh1tty irrelevant Anthropod?

What if it was a book on potatoes?

by **Galted** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 6:16 pm

Just saved about two quid on a sisal cat scratching post by shopping around online. The world economy wouldn't be in such a state of rectum-filler if everyone was as diligent as me.

by The Boss Thu 31 Jul 2014, 6:54 pm

I can confirm that, yes, there are a lot if c@&£S among us Northern Irish.

by The Boss Thu 31 Jul 2014, 6:55 pm

Although for the sake of the forum, there is no such nationality and I'm Irish. Unless there's a East Midlands title vacant at present for me to claim.

by **Galted** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 7:24 pm

Do you get sisal cat scratching posts in Northern Ireland, Boss? I just saved £2 buying one online.

by The Boss Thu 31 Jul 2014, 7:35 pm

No, Galted. Back home in Ireland, Cats are seen as pets of the devil and from my limited knowledge are understood to be completely anti-potato. So feck the cruel bastards and they'll be getting no presents from me.

by **Galted** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 7:51 pm

Oh.

I guess cats are very divisive. If you change your mind about them and want to get something scratchable, I recommend sisal-based products or mute babies.

by The Boss Thu 31 Jul 2014, 7:54 pm

I'll keep it in mind. I suppose if I'm gonna save 2 quid I can afford to disregard my entire belief system.

by **Galted** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 8:43 pm

I don't have a belief system so money-saving comes easily to me.

Been in Yorkshire all day. Shocking place.

I was there in '96. Leeds, Harrogate and Ripon. Was shocking. Awful, awful, place.

Christ, Julius, I've missed you so much. So much.

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu 31 Jul 2014, 10:31 pm

Of course you have Galted. Who wouldn't?
