They oughta do a peace concert in Tikrit then do follow ups in Aleppo and Donetsk. Get everyone to hold hands and sway together.

That would almost certainly solve all of the world's problems. A-Ha or Spandau Ballet could be the support act?

Anyone watching the Euro athletics? Some nice tortured gash in the heats of the 800m. Nice cooling down eye candy after Glasgow.

Scorpions

Very good Rick, no prize, but am fairly sure my esteem is worth more than any material object.

Surely A-Ha - Take on no ekat was another one?

Was it "Palindromes" by "Palindromes" from the album "Palindromes"? It was a big hit in Syria in 1984 (you didn't specify WHICH charts!)

Ill take that to be fair Jeff...

Salmon nuggets with peas and sweet potato fries.

sounds bloody awful

It was alright, didn't realise that a Salmon's nuggets were that big, but I suppose with all that spawning.

Name the only Tube Station that does not have a letter of the word Mackerel in it.

I'm beginning to experiment with Fish but salmon is a complete no no. Struggle with the texture of prawns as well. Calamari ok.

It is a quiz question.

On the assumption that by "experiment" you mean of the eating variety, then start with oily fish like Mackrel, and Pilchards and then move on...

If you dont mean eating them, then I believe Dolphins copulate for fun if that helps?

I know the one with none of the letters of "BADGER" in it...

Am I likely to get asked this by anyone else in the world ever at any point in time?

DAVE, do you happen to know the name of the only Tube Station that does not have a letter of the word Mackerel in it? Thanks in advance.

Why, don't you know?

Correct rick.

You would have thought northerners like Dave would love to know facts about the tube. Like kids and their Dinosaur books. They may never see one but it is nice to know.

We have Tubes in Bradford, they are round the chests of 18 year old overweight chavs.

Oh bollox. I've been telling my mates I was on a forum with Lieutenant Gordon 'Curly' Pickard.

You've been gone some time, Union. Can we expect some new reverse lineal threads?

If I was ever to grow a beard, it would be a Curly Pickard beard. Great stuff. I'm not him though.

As for reverse linealness, probably not, as I don't really have time for that nonsense any more.

i need a witty yet inoffensive fantasy league team name? any suggestions?

May have to revise my theory that there is no God.

I saw one last year called "Michu in De Gea Ba" which I thought was quite clever.

As fantasy league team names go, it's better than the sh!t already put forward....go with that one, sean!

The Travelling Dangelberries.

I think I may have a bit of superflyitis of my right testi.

I was reading a boxing article from about like 1870 summat last night, took me a while to realise that 'nob' meant 'head'.

I'm glad that's become a thing. Mine has been right as rain for a while now - I am sure I just squashed it when sleeping.

They also used to refer to heart as bottom. The first time I saw this it said something like Cribb displayed a remarkable amount of bottom, which confused me somewhat, I thought it was some sort of diversionary tactic.

It wasn't 1870, it was 1829.

Not a great difference you would think, but then it is the same difference as between 1970 and 1929 which is quite a difference. About 41 years as it happens.
