At this point I'm now only posting because I've seen myself on the Top Posters Of The Day list and Wookie has 4 more than me.

 

Spams a pretty crap corned meat, don't you think?

So, although the letter is a vowel, it is not pronounced like one in 'university' because it does not have a vowel sound. We therefore say 'a university'. The U in umbrella is pronounced as a vowel sound ( Λ using the phonetic alphabet) and so we use 'an'.

I am deaf so I think I now can get away for not knowing that

 

Do not let that stop you from making fun of deaf people, go on....I dare you.  :whistle:

Have we got corned beef now?

 

Corned beef has been a thing for ages. 

 

Anyone get confused as a kid when they realised southampton and northampton weren't actually both from a city called ampton?

Dammit I screwed up the joke it's actually - Say what you want about deaf people ...

 

Now I look like an asshole ... before I was fine ... but after this there's no coming back.

Hats off to General Smuts who dominated this round fuelled by his rage at missing the last round which helped him to claim 15 points, Facecloth claimed he had a bad week but  he did well to finish level on points for this round with The Doctor which do not bode well for the competitiveness of the league!  To carry on in the vein of Smuts' distasteful joke-a shout out to Howl who started well with 3 points to win his group and to knock out the current FT Football Trivia Cup (I really need a new sponsor next season because it is a mouthful!*) holder StanSP out. Wookie, that Sicily answer did not cost you in the end anyway!

 

Well done to all posters who made it out of their groups but now there is no hiding or second chances, from next month you all will need to bring your A Game on the table to progress further. See you all next (this month actually as it is second Sunday next week!) month. Thanks for playing as always. 

 

 

 

* DISCLAIMER I would have not knew that because I am deaf and cannot speak anyway

Wait, so is the next round next week then with this months issue?

This was meant to be done about three weeks ago, so next week brings us back on track.

Any chance we can bounce it a week? It's my birthday on Friday, first game of the season Saturday and I'll have to be driving back from Leicester to St Albans when I'm finally sober on Sunday.

Yeah, I was on my holiday so it had to be postponed.

I am busy for rest of August, I am only free next Sunday so it has to be next week sorry mate. Look like you will need to stop at Toddington services to play!

However with that said, I am thinking of bringing in a new feature for next season where I post all dates I am available for next month and all posters can vote for their preference and the Sunday with most votes win . Thoughts?
