Insufferable arsehole - that's one of the nicest things anyones ever said about me.

No idea what all the D&D crap is, but yeah why not.

Finally able to escape the UK soon. Am heading to the US to get some work done and will be visiting Michigan, then Maryland and Pennsylvania during early November. Will have a few days off afterwards and wondered if any Americans here had any suggestions to spend 5 days starting in Pennsylvania in O...

We need these people competing at random stuff. That what The Superstars was for. (Is anyone besides me old enough to remember that trash sports show on ABC?) It threw together top-level athletes from many sports. The event winners were sometimes surprising, but the most successful groups were foot...

My grandmother, who was born and raised in Dudley and died (at 100 years old!) recently, told me that ...

I like geography and I like trivia. This is geographical trivia. Is the correct answer. A couple of odd English anomalies to chuck into the mix. There are two English County enclaves. 'Lancashire beyond the sea' is a part of Lancashire separated from the rest of Lancashire. I used to live in a vill...

I don't think the British settled them after they found them but they're probably the only ones that have made a success of it when they finally did though. When the Argentinians had a settlement there in the early 1800s it sounded a bit shambolic. It doesn't appear to be much of a place to go to w...
