And to be fair a lot of the clues just make places harder to find so in the end no one is happy, which is what life is all about, really.

^armchair tagger.

Really Foxy?
The argument for clues is very simple - without one the game is simply Do you happen to recognise this? Not a very interesting game if you don't. And most of the time most people aren't going to be able to go and get the tag - it's too far away, they are busy, the in-laws are staying. But you can still play the game, try to find the tag, even if you are not going to go and get it - but only if there is some way of finding it other than recognising it.
And every frigging tag is easy if you know it! -
Never heard it called 'wooing the bird' before. Still, a boy in the bush is worth two in the hand.

'Sticky toffee pudding'. That was always a regular feature of Skully's birthday parties. It wasn't a dessert, not any kind of foodstuff, and the recipient was rarely, if ever, grateful or, indeed, able to form a coherent sentence for days after.
'Bangers and mash' was another treat that guests might look forward to. Again, it had nothing to do with traditional British cooking. You probably don't even want to think about Skully's idea of a 'full English'.But, however spiteful, malicious and intricately cruel his parties were you would always leave with a smile on your face and you can't say fairer than that.

Will, can we have your weekly Walking Dead review?
Well, since you ask. Warning: contains spoilers!
This week was a bit like the two-handers that Eastenders sometimes do. But rather than be locked in a pub our two - the TV redneck who is a real life fashion model and, erm, one of Hershel's surviving daughters, I can't remember her name, very pale, very slight, prettier than average (obviously), likes to wander off on her own and get attacked (obviously) - anyway, these two get stuck in an abandoned house drinking moonshine.
That's a bit of a spoiler because, well, that was the entire plot. No, really, that was it. They burned the house down at the end with no regard to the likelihood of them also burning down the forest just meters away from the building, or that this meant they were outside after dark in an area full of walker-zombies, but that made so little sense it was hardly worth mentioning.It was all about the past, or the present, possibly the future, either way it was blah-blah-blah for an hour until even one of Rick's now-I'm-doing-my-serious-acting bits would have been a mercy. You couldn't help feel sorry for Hatbeard who must have been screaming at the screen.
On the upside it looks like Maggie will be back next week. It's probably too late to track down this series' producer and arrange an ironic crossbow-related death.

And, it will match his hat.

Thanks for clearing that up. Any thoughts on helmets?
-
Meoooow
-
Brakeless, helmet thread. Seriously.
-
Aidan, that's amazing news. I was just redoing some old photos this evening and wondering how you were getting on. Hopefully you can get close to Emmet again soon.
-
Broads? Are you in a James Cagney film? Are you sure they're not dames?
-
From last month, if you take a out a new contract you have the right to leave, without penalty, if the price is raised.

" Hayes, now 31 years old," Why not go the whole hog and say "Hayes, who is old enough to know better".

Shit, I was going to buy a couple for my new peeping-tom project but now I won't bother.

Thousand yard stare.

Yeh but imagine you're doing 70 on the motorway with your eyes closed and a group of feral children, lurking in the bushes, rush out and just stand there like they own the road. You brake but not hard enough and two of the young ruffians are given quite a fright. Who's responsible then? Ultimately I think we have to blame the parents, both of the children and of the driver and ultimately beyond that we have to look at society as a whole.
