3.) He's not whiny, he wears a mean headband.
5.) He hurt himself today

by Rowley Fri 29 Aug 2014, 11:42 am

If he wears a headband it is either Mark Knopfler or former Villa and Brighton centre half Steve Foster, the former seems more likely.

You're not gonna get this.

5.) is Johnny Cash Loadin' Coal
3.) is Iron Hand by Dire Straits about the battle of Orgreave during the miner's strike where the cops beat up loads of northeners.

Link obviously coal mining (fools gold is found in coal).

I want to say it was Chicken Licken that killed C.o.c.k Robin but that's a different thing all together.

Think it was Sparrow or Starling or some other small bird.

So Tina buggers off without a word to any of us for a fortnight, comes back eventually and when Rick asks which quiz we want I answer first, but despite this, and the fact I have not left the culture cup in the lurch for the last few weeks it is Tina's choice we do?

f*ck you all, especially Rick. I am gone.

P.S. F*ck you again Rick.

by Mind the windows Tino. Fri 29 Aug 2014, 1:23 pm

Yeah, F*CK YOU ALL, especially superfly.

I know what you mean Jeff. Pleased as I am that Tino isn't dead, and as sympathetic as I am for his wife's illness, he's still a c*nt for not letting us know he was still alive (I lost sleep several night's sleep over it and was in the second stage of grieving) and so we certainly shouldn't be pandering to the selfish @rse.

by **seanmichaels** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 1:26 pm

Slider: Hey Goose, who's ass did you kiss to get in here?
Goose: The list is long and distinguished.
