mjmooney Posted April 1 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1 'Pointless' tonight. Round one, classical music. Fill in the missing words - Vivaldi, 'The F--- Seasons'. Contestant (confidently): "Oh, I think I know this one - 'The Five Seasons'" How Armstrong kept a straight face I do not know. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably salty or bitter or something - I believe that's a Small Heath speciality, that last one. What a thicko. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I’ve like been intrigued by selling on Amazon, I don’t understand how sellers sell cheap items (£1 / £1.20) and still make money? The cheapest tier for the cheapest FBA are higher than that… is there some other tier of pricing that is much lower otherwise how are they making money? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In name and rules. Ace is high, 2's and 10's go on anything - 10's trashes the pack. 4 of a kind become the equivalent of a 10 and 9's are lower than a nine or another 9 or a 10) but can't be played on an ace. We also had 5's let you play another card above a 5. And a red 3 can be played on anything and let you give the build up of cards in the middle to any player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get that, but i’m intrigued how so many people sell items below the lowest FBA level… is there a secret tier of pricing somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsVM thinks I have to show my bottom cards if I can't play them - which I assume was born out of youthful exuberance when turning them over. It's not a game I've ever read rules to though, it's just learnt behaviour. There's already a couple of variations I've never encountered listed in these two posts, namely the red threes and the extra card higher than a 5 Edited April 3 by VILLAMARV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 5 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 5 Looking to try and get back into playing some football next season. Started looking for Over 35's teams in my area. I don't want anything TOO serious though. Competitive, but I don't want to be shouted at every week Anyway found Sutton Town vets team. Perfect, right round the corner! Looked them up, they're top of the Premier Division and their top scorers are Darren Byefield and Lee Hendrie Not sure that's quite my level! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it hasn't really been THAT cold... just dragged on as this pretty mild, wet season. For about 4 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a few people say this but I can't remember many recent Winters where I've had to defrost the car so much in the morning. Worst for that in years I reckon.

Worst for that in years I reckon. Not here - I've barely had to do it. I reckon it's been needed on maybe 5 days out of the last 4 or 5 months. Having said that, I use the car less these days and use bus/walk for getting into work. But still, I haven't noticed cars being frosted over anywhere near as much.
