Can you believe it? Jack Bauers brother is a terrorist????? I remember that short bald rich guy with glasses in a few parts toward the end of season 5, but I never would have guessed he was Jacks brother. Holy crap that blew my...

busstoptoyshop Oops, that spoiled things a bit - we're a few episodes behind in The UK. Sounds good though. Don't try to tell me the deal with the mushroom cloud though. I've got my fingers in my ears. I'm not listening. Lah, Lah, Lah.

Are you related to any famous people?

webduck @webduck (238) • United States 26 Jan 07

I have been doing my own, and my husband's, family genealogy for many years now, and in doing so we have found ourselves related to several 'famous' people. For instance, I descend from Robert the Bruce through my Poindexter...

busstoptoyshop I'm glad Shilpa won. I hope it wasn't just because of the racist thugs alongside her in the house. She is beautiful, intelligent and dignified and thoroughly deserving of winning. She also had good reasons for going in compared to a number of others trying...

cricket

9 responses

busstoptoyshop I think Australia will win the World Cup. I'd love to be preved wrong. Out of the Aussies it could be any one of them who goes on to be the top player there. Ricky Ponting is so dependable, but Hussey can take games away from teams in a few overs.

busstoptoyshop First thing I'd do is ban people from Mylot, if the most intelligent post they can write is 'What Is Your Country? Mine is Iniad' (sic). Then I'd introduce hanging for wastage of cheese. Oh, and spend time counting my money.

busstoptoyshop I think you'd get long odds on an England victory, much as I 'd love to see it. We have the batting line up to outscore anyone, but we just don't do it consistently. As for the bowling attack... Sorry, Australia will probably win, I'm afraid. The...

busstoptoyshop Mostly Scottish and Irish, with a little English and French thrown in. The origins of my Mother's surname SPOWART is still a mystery, springing up in Central Scotland in the 1600s. Our theory is it's derived from a Germanic surname - it first appears in port...

cricket

busstoptoyshop I've got the scoreboard minimised here - Kumble and Karthik are making some valuable runs right now. According to the commentary, VVS's run out was a dreadful error of judgement combined with very slow running. If he or Sachin had made 50, then it was...

Tongue Twisters...

This has always bothered me! Why did Sally sell seashells on the seashore when you can just pick them up anyway?

busstoptoyshop Maybe the hard-working and industrious Sally went out very early one morning and picked every single seashell up. I think her innovative business spirit should be applauded in today's world. Give her a break. In fact, give her a Young Businessperson of The...

how do you eat your crisps?

scarscar6 @scarscar6 (71) 5 Jan 07

my partner thinks im weird because i like licking the flavour of the crisps first before i eat it. how do you eat your packet of crisps

5 responses

busstoptoyshop Ehm. Yes, your partner is right I'm afraid. Never mind. Dilbert said that everyone is someone else's weirdo. So don't worry about it - just keep licking away, and enjoy it, you freak of nature.

busstoptoyshop A great post above mine with some good advice. The Ellis Island website should also hopefully be able to turn up the ship's passenger list (if they arrived at New York - most did). That will give you more vital info - who they were going to stay with (and...

Indian team is showing some signs of improvement.

busstoptoyshop They are in with a shout. I still (unfortunately) believe that Australia will win it. I think India, Pakistan and the host nation all have a chance. However the conditions will suit Australia nicely and they are still the best side in the world by a long...

busstoptoyshop Not sure that you should throw the ball to a part-time bowler like Sachin too early. Part-Timers often take wickets of well set batsmen, but that's only because they are well set. They can't resist trying to help themeselves against 'weaker' bowlers. Anyway...
