Dame_Ann_Average @Eugine's Lair...your list is exactly the same as mine ...we can go ahead and submit the answers methinks [ more ]
Eugene's Lair Coming to this late as I've been away over the weekend. Difficulties with initially looking at these on a mobile phone (not least WRT the loss of scale on pictures such as #3 ) gave me some problems too. Here's my list: I know many of them have already been identified, but I found it easier to just go through them all. Hopefully my numbering works this time... Switzerland Papua New Guinea Vatican City Canada Germany Spain Ukraine (Note that Crimea is greyed-out!) Monaco India Philippines... [ more ]

Kevin Anderson and John Isner - one of the great Wimbledon matches

El Loro https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/44823525 Watch the clip at the start of the article for an astonishing piece of tennis which is quite something. If the final with Anderson and ? is as good, forget watching the World Cup final, watch the Wimbledon final instead. [ more ]

Extremely Fluffy Fluffy ThingExtremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing In Scotland we say K'-hoon - or very close. It's hard to describe a sound with accuracy. There's a half pronounced vowel sound after the initial 'K' sound, Sort of a cross between 'i' as in if and a as in hat. El Loro's 2nd link on pronunciation is how we say it, [ more ]
El Loro There's a BBC article on various names which people haven't been able to pronounce them correctly, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44630061 Although most of the names do indicate how they should be said, one of them isn't. That's Colquhoun. I wonder how people here would say that. Here's some attempts on the "How to pronouce" site. https://www.howtopronounce.com/colquhoun/ And here's how I think it should be pronounced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7IkOnEKISU [ more ]

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Some of those titles are starting to appear on blu-ray, mostly released by niche labels. [ more ]
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Me too. I have a JVC S-VHS recorder/player. The reason being is that I still have some tapes never released on DVD or Blu-ray. [ more ]

Cold Sweat I managed to do a pub and a Costa heading home this evening! I was a bit sniffy about them until around Jan/Feb this year I had a 50 minute wait on the concourse at Inverness railway station so rather than freeze I took the plunge with a mug of cappuccino within the confines of a warm Costa café.

Saint Nothing better than a dog with a light brown nose [ more ]
Eugene's Lair I apologise in advance, Damme, as I think this is going to be another of those "after the horse has bolted" jobs: I've just had a bit of a brainwave, and I think #6 is a Vizsla. It was the snout that was bothering me: all the other breeds we were looking at such as Ridgebacks have dark snouts, not light ones. [ more ]

Baz We’ve got a couple , but I’ve never been in one in my life [ more ]
Eugene's Lair I'm old enough to remember when - by law - you weren't allowed to see into a bookies from the street outside. It gave them a fairly seedy image. IMO, by trying so hard to get rid of that image, a lot of bookies instead now feel rather clinical. As I've said above though, they can get quite lively when there's a major race or other sports results coming in. The thing about "zero atmosphere" is that in the old days, many of those who regularly frequented bookies tended to retire to the local... [ more ]
Eugene's Lair A bookies? I thought most towns had several nowadays. My town centre certainly has loads - so many in fact that I've lost count. [I've just done a quick Google Maps search, it says there are 9 in the town centre area (which sounds about right), and another 5 within about half a mile of the town centre. In the centre, there are 3 William Hills within about 500 yards of each other, and a triangle of 3 Ladbrokes no more than about 300 yards from each other! ] Of course, it's the Fixed Odds... [ more ]

Eunice Gayson has died (from Dr. No)

Eugene's Lair ❤️
Eugene's Lair It is extraordinary, isn't it? It's also extraordinary to think about the effect "Dr No" had when it came out. Audiences really hadn't seen anything quite like it before, and the way in which Bond was introduced - something which Eunice Gayson played a big part in, of course - had a lot to do with that...

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities How coincidental. Just this morning I was reading an online article: JAMES BOND’S ALL TIME HIGH: REMEMBERING “OCTOPUSSY” ON ITS 35TH ANNIVERSARY. But as ever, this is sad news [ more ]

Saint Sadly at the end of the day a politicians loyalty lies with the party to which they belong, not their constituents. Unless there is something with which they vehemently disagree a politician will toe the party line. Although few, if any politicians completely approve of everything in their own party's manifesto [ more ]
Carnelian Absolutely, there are some really good MPs working hard for the betterment of the country! But I think most just work for themselves and their own enrichment. I don't think for one second that Cameron, Osborne or Johnson give nor gave a damn for this county or it's people's welfare. [ more ]
Sprout Most of them do, there are some good ones out there though [ more ]
