Latest killer pub quiz question. What type of animal is Zippy? (From Rainbow in case you were a deprived child). If anyone can answer that one, they get a gmail invite. (best prize that is possible to present)

Metallica is a band I apperciate only for the guitar playing, but since i've now discovered better, I think I can cast them away.

Adam Jones is GOD 09-15-2004 05:28 PM

I think all the UK mxers in here have it now, got mine from Butler in the first place.
Im going to set that question as a challenge, even though I cant remeber the answer myself, someone has to


....tempts a google search, but NO, must have fun with this!

Adam Jones is GOD 09-15-2004 05:38 PM

it will just be a UK thing though, im sure the US mxers will assume the band Rainbow, and then 50% will come flying in with pointless posts. I might do it during one day, when only the UK users are on

...hes not a dog..........he's not a monkey...unless......, not a horse......

Dammit, the other characters made sense at least. George the pink hippo, Bungle the homosexual bear. And what was the blokes name again?

Spectrum 09-15-2004 05:47 PM

Just thought of something... ya know how I am an Honorary Brit. now? Well, I'm still not actually in Britain. The rest of you all are. So there will be about a four-five hour time difference, since I live on the East Coast of America (-5:00). Actually, I live relatively close to Britain, given the landmass of America and my location.

Just keep that kinda thing in mind as I post, and why my posts will be offset from yours. There will be a certain amount of time in which our posts ought to coincide.

Blah.

Adam Jones is GOD 09-15-2004 05:50 PM

Sorry, someone had to break it to you. That program set up so many sterotypes, the guy (im not too sure it was Rod, but it sound rightish) was a single father looking after his children (they were animals, but still). And a big bear with eyelashes....ahh reminds me of a funny They Think Its all Over episode (if you watch it you'll know what I mean)


And to SpectrumGuitarist, dont worry about the time difference, you can keep this thread safe while we sleep. Our shifts of watching it didnt go too well

I'm sorry. About qwacky, misspelling the name, everything. I miss him already, despite having never known him.

Adam Jones is GOD 09-15-2004 06:04 PM

*sniff* Your concern is comforting *sniff* Even i truly did not know qwacky.


Right, its 1, Dragonball z time, then some sleep. I shall return at a later date though, possibly tommorrow

Hey im hear, fresh from college woo.

Spectrum 09-16-2004 09:26 AM

Yay!

Your last post was 3,333! So awesome!

I have BBC America on for some reason, and I'm having a good time. Since it's the On Demand channel, I think I'll watch some Monty Python now.

Untitled 09-16-2004 09:30 AM

Oh yea, so i was.

BBCs a cool channel, do you have commershalls on BBC america? In the uk BBC is totaly comershall free, well apart from an ad or 2 inbetween shows advertising other shows.

Spectrum 09-16-2004 09:38 AM

So your BBC is like our PBS?

Because BBC America has advertising.

However, I still like it. Last night as I was waiting for my parents to get home from their Phil Collins concert (grr, arggh), I stayed up watching "Keeping Up Appearances". The episode where she has to take the old people to the seaside was hilarious.

Untitled 09-16-2004 09:44 AM

PBS?

Keeping up appereances is great, heaisnth(sp) is so annoying its funny.

Public Broadcastic System. A commercial-free channel that provides good, quality programming, such as nature shows, documentaries, children's educational shows, music specials, telethons (they've got to raise money somehow!), and British shows in the evening, such as Monty Python, KUA, Are You Bing Served?, Fawlty Towers, Antiques Roadshow, Red Dwarf, etc.

And yes, Hyacinth is hilarious. I think her neurotic neighbor and her brother Emmut are quite funny as well. And the bits with Daddy are priceless.

I'm watching an episode of "Keeping Up Appearances", which is quite funny.

Untitled 09-16-2004 11:58 AM

Morning :p ive decided i might drop geog at college, its way to **** boring, i wanna take graphics design now.

Spectrum 09-16-2004 12:06 PM

The episode was about Hyancith wanting to be invited to the costume ball, which she makes a large fuss over; Daisy is engaged to a Polish man whom no one can pronounce the name of (he is called Mr. Whatsit); Emmut is slated to have Hyacinth at his Piano Recital, which he doesn't want...

great episode.

Hey,I just thought of something. I've shared some of what I see in British culture, now I think it's time the Brits returned the favor. What of American culture do you guys see?

Ignorance eg...How [U]YOU[/U] won WWII all by yourself. It's really petty but gets to me when I see America lead the D-day memoral. You wern't the people that fought the war for 4 years Britian was the main fighting force and as far as i'm concerned America joined only becuase of Pearl Habour.

Thats about it at the moment I can't really think :lol:
