Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I didn't know this until yesterday, Goat's had a large impact on the destruction of North Korea's economy in combination with some mental ideas from the rulers. It never recovered from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's two dead people mentioned in a song written 40 years ago. It'll get them going down the pub quiz for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2022 The 2023 January sumo tournament will be the first basho in 125 years with only 1 yokozuna (grand champion) and 1 ozeki (champion) participating. I feel confident I have fulfilled the thread title's remit here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Might be known already but the Holte Hotel held the 1956 World Snooker Championship semi final between Fred Davis and Rex Williams. Davis won 35-26 over 4 days, and then went on to beat Fred Pulman 38-35 in the final. The match saw a 141 break by Williams which was the highest break in a World Championship match until 1965. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted November 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2022 7 hours ago, TreeVillan said: I might be late here, but he also directed the first episode of Columbo. Kinda. He directed the first episode of season one - “Murder by the Book”. But there was a pilot episode which was filmed and shown three years prior to that. And also a TV movie which was shown three years before the pilot. I’m going to completely ignore the first appearance of the character eight years prior to the TV movie. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 7 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: His first film, Duel, is a classic as well. Great movie. Some scenes (the school bus segment and the level crossing bit) were filmed about a year after the movie had already aired on US TV. They wanted a theatrical release in Europe and needed to flesh it out a bit more in terms of running time. As a result, they obviously had to use a different truck, and it was a completely different Peterbilt model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't get his packing done in time and missed the flight I believe that Seth Mcfarlane overslept on the morning of 9-11 and missed his flight. It hit the North Tower.
