My Sister in Law lived in Portishead. 

Actually, where is the boring thread? 

Isn't Portishead where all BBC competitions run from, way back when.

Send your answers on a post card to OK box whatever , Portishead, Brizzle.  

My dad wanted his ashes pressed into a record.

It was his vinyl request.

Surely we're all ecentric in to some other person. 

A bloke is on who wants to be a millionaire. He's doing great. Up to the million pound question with all lifelines left. 

So Tom your million pound question. 

Which one of these was a great train robber.

Ronnie Corbett, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Ronnie Barker or Ronnie Biggs

I'll take the money

But you've go 3 lifelines.

I know I'll take the money.

Ok you've just won £500,000. Do you want to know the answer.

Oh I know the answer.

Why didn't you say.

I ain't no grass

When I used to travel a lot globally. I would tip big and early. I was taught this by a guy in his 70s who was a salesman. If I knew I was in a hotel for 10 days or so, which was frequent, I would personally go down to reception or the bar as soon as I could after check in. Explain that I might be working awkward hours and maybe grumpy sometimes with all the pressure, ( i was rarely under pressure). Anyway I would offer  100 dollar tip there and then to make up for my shortcomings. It was received so well I got every upgrade going and rarely had to leave a tip.

I've never known a city so proud of itself as Liverpool - As much I love the place, I really do, I've always found the constant homages to local history too much. 

Maybe it's just the areas I've been too and the things that I've done there, but Manchester, a place with similar history (ish, you know what I mean) seems to do it so much better.

Try the whole of bleeding Yorkshire.

I would guess that a l large amount of that good a long with medical aid and fuel goes straight to Hammas

Bloody impressive aint they.

USA population 340m 

U.K. Population 68m

Who would win in a piss up competition?

So now at the club we have a Kenza Konza and a Kosta

Did his cat kick him back?

I think he's that bloke that stole Freddie Mercury's teeth

Now that might be funny but I'm buggered  if I'm going to Google who he is.

Anyone on these opportunity knocks type programmes.

And who's Rylan?

Heard an interesting point from a Newcastle fan regarding Saudi investment. He was suggesting it might not be as high as some people think. His reasoning being, with the world cup in Saudi 10 years away, there would be huge amounts spent on getting a high league standing. Improving all aspects spending many millions getting stadia infrastructure right and bringing in many more high profile players. They really wouldn't want a world cup in there own back yard and be humiliated with a poor team. 

That's not to say there wouldn't be investment but he could see them spend many billions over there.

Yep and the manager who wanted her is leaving.

I'm not sure that's the case. As I understand those involved with the drama have been recompensed.  It's just after it was aired loads more have come forward.

When repairs are made or inspections done to millennium bridge, an ancient law is triggered. The work is carried out by people abseiling underneath. Thus reducing the safe height. The port of London introduced a warning to shipping by lowering a bale of hay. This was thought large enough to be seen by the ships

It's hard to say what my wife does for a living.

She sells seashells by the seashore.

Yesterday I got my electric bill and water bill. I opened them together

I was shocked.

Egypt are one of the favourites.  Surely there will be some parade in Cairo if they win.
