I think someone has explained his background in the past on VT far better than I can but he was part of History Channel program called 'Ancient Aliens.' His enthusiasm and delivery coupled with his wacky hair made him somewhat endearing & memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2018 Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, from a show called “Ancient Aliens”. Can’t say i’ve watched it, but I would imagine it’s like if someone made documentary about “Stargate”. Based on this picture alone (which I’m sure I first saw here on VT), Giorgio appears to have a sense of humour about it - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a full english; bacon, egg, sausage, tomato, black pudding, beans, hash brown, toast. But why those ingredients? Why dont i have black pudding with other meals, why hash brown and not jacket potato? Had gammon at the pub the other day and was offered pineapple and/or egg with it. But why? And why is that the same option everywhere in the country? There's an enzyme in pineapple that breaks down proteins I believe. 'Tenderising' the pork or some such. Allegedly making the meat easier to digest. Like Grapefruit with the classic Fry-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going up a billion people every 10-12 years or so and Derek from Cannock cutting out dairy and Linda and Keith car sharing to work ain't going to do shit. The numbers are going to be completely unsustainable.

Even traditionally heavily-populated third-world countries like Bangladesh are close to having 2 births per family.

I suspect it's at least as big a problem, the little families in 'the west' that have 2 cars, 3 tv's, airplane flights, phone chargers, throwaway clothing and fast food packaging. Once families in Bangladesh don't have to feed eleven kids, they'll have the money for a scooter and a telly, and, and, and...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 There was a game where the home team didn't turn up. I think Scotland were the away team. The referee insisted they kicked off before awarding the game. I'm not sure if they had to score into the empty net???? 100% possession for the match. Can anyone add any details into my vague memories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 wiki wiki Quote One team in Tallinn refers to a football match scheduled for 9 October 1996 in World Cup qualifying European Group 4 between the national teams of Estonia and Scotland. The match was abandoned after three seconds because the Estonian team were absent from the Kadrioru Stadium due to a dispute over its floodlights. Scotland expected to be awarded a walkover victory, but FIFA ordered that the match be replayed on neutral territory. The replayed match, staged at the Stade Louis II in Monaco, ended in a goalless draw Ref appears to get the rules wrong, gets Scotland to kick off, then abandons game. But FIFA order a replay. Politics innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
