  1. If he goes to Hell, will the Devil tell him, "Let's see what you could have won!"?
  2. I seem to remember the 'No' campaigners telling old ladies that in an independent Scotland they wouldn't be able to watch Coronation Street.
  3. Been done. Nepalese royal massacre - Wikipedia
  4. Actually he was an alumnus. 'Alumni' is plural.
  5. And look how clarty the Leith side is compared with the Edinburgh one...
  6. Reminds me of the time the actor Haing S. Ngor won a BAFTA for his appearance in The Killing Fields. It was presented by Julie Walters, who when she opened the envelope admitted she didn't know how to pronounce his name.

  12. Dessert spoons are what you eat your custard/creamed rice/etc. etc. with. Tablespoons are what you use when helping yourself to a communal Chinese/Indian etc. dish, transferring it from the bowl in the centre to your own plate. Each diner has his own dessert spoon, natch, while there's only the one tablespoon which everybody uses in turn.
