Re: One quiz at a time
Already been called and was wrong then as well. The New York boroughs joke has now beeen attempted three times and it wasn't funny the first time. For pity's sake look in flipping Wikipedia, under 'Lancashire'.DRT wrote:Brooklyn?

Re: One quiz at a time
This could be amusing if I'm wrong,
but as it's you Alex, and your a Southern Softie, could I suggest the following to put you out of your misery in Lancashire matters.
The Lancaster Canal starts in the Borough of Kendal. It then traverses, surprisingly enough, through the Borough of Lancaster, before ending up in the Borough of Preston.
That is nowhere near Covent Garden.
Happy Easter.

Good to see you Alan. But you are wrong. Don't forget that I used to live in Lancashire. Happy Easter.

Aren't you assuming that Conky's comment was aimed at you? I read it and assumed it was aimed at me - and it made me laugh, which has not happened too much today.KillerB wrote:Good to see you Alan. But you are wrong. Don't forget that I used to live in Lancashire. Happy Easter.
Since I'm allowed another guess now - how about West Lancashire?
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

West Lancs - ahhhh, Ormskirk and Skem. Nope.
I'm beginning to think that this is a conspiracy.

Wikipedia was no help. I'm going to guess Preston. Or Queens. But hopefully Preston.

Yes - at last. We started in the borough of Burnley at Hapton Bridge and walked along the Leeds Liverpool canal path, all the way through Hyndburn, including Harrison's home town of Oswaldtwistle, finishing in Blackburn (with Darwen) at the Red Lion.jdaw1 wrote:Hyndburn?
Didn't take long, did it? Julian's turn.

Re: One quiz at a time
And that was the guess I changed last time. Happens.
Yesterday I went to the barber. My instruction to said barber consisted of two clauses, each containing a number. What was my instruction?

Re: One quiz at a time
Hmm... given what I recall of your hairstyle, I'm going to guess that your instruction was a 4 blade all over and a 3 blade on the sides.

Re: One quiz at a time
The form of the request is near enough (x on top, y on sides), but your numbers are hopeless.
Re: One quiz at a time
Well I'm a 3 all over, so I don't have much experience with the larger blades and was just guessing!

1 on top and 0 on the sides

One number is correct. The other is too large.KillerB wrote:2 nd 1
Both too small.DRT wrote:1 on top and 0 on the sides
Re: One quiz at a time
Obviously not: that would have been ‟one all over”. One number correct, one slightly too small.KillerB wrote:1 and 1

Re: One quiz at a time
I'm not buying this - your hair isn't that short! I do a 3 all over and it leaves my hair about 3/8" long. Have you gone buzz cut since the Old and Odd?
Oh wait, I think I figured it out...
1.5" on top and 1" on the sides. Which, technically, is what Derek guessed as well so I'm too late.

Correct. (And I believe the units are in eighths of inches.) Derek: at last, your question.DRT wrote:1.5 (or one and a half) on top and 1 at the sides
