Meenzer

The longest ever Eurovision song title was "Man gewöhnt sich so schnell an das Schöne", with 34 letters. It got nul points.

And "stewardesses" is the longest word you can type with only your left hand (if you're doing it proper and that).

Just did mine the other day. Christmas Alf.

Keep reading this as "Magpies set Barton free" and getting scared we've terminated his contract.

And not forgetting...

8-bit computers have a lot to answer for...

I've got two best category tickets for The Big Game at Twickenham on December 27th, Harlequins vs. London Irish (plus pre-match entertainment from Matt Cardle and Rebecca Ferguson, if that helps ), that I won in a competition but can't use due to being out of town. Let me know if so - would have to meet before afternoon on Xmas Eve to hand over. EDIT: Taken. If I could ask one of our esteemed mods to do the deletion shuffle?

Was never too fussed about the Netherlands but went to Utrecht of all places the other month and it was class. Got too hammered on Duvel to go on the planned day trip to Amsterdam, mind, so I may be in the wrong thread here. Know what Stevie means though, it feels like a very "livable" place if you're a Brit who likes a touch of the continental. And obviously they all speak English which helps if you're only in town for a few days. And aye, definitely fly there.

Excellent - even more time to watch this!

And you know what they say about men with big hands... ...big gloves on their heads.

To be fair, I'm not sure blowing a head gasket is entirely innuendo-free either.

Tell you what mind, that's just made me dig out this clip. "The greatest tackle in World Cup history" it says, and it's not wrong.

I love how one of the hits has the proper title (albeit translated) and artist, and the other is just "Trololo Song" by "Trololo Man".

Haha aye, just noticed that too. Class

"Bum" without the "chum".

Funnily enough, them Islams tend not to turn up for a swift half at the Experience Arms.

Yo-yo club or not, Mainz are somehow still in second place at the halfway stage of the Bundesliga, albeit level with Leverkusen and 10 points behind the leaders Dortmund (whom I have a great deal of time for if only because of their former Meenzer manager Jürgen Klopp - I'll be amazed if he's not the German team boss within the next few years). What's more remarkable is that Mainz's record so far is 11-0-6 (to coin an Americanism) - i.e. 17 games down and not a single draw so far. I'm sure it's not a record, but it must be pretty unusual in the bigger leagues at least...

Limpaway.

Bah. Cowards! Chart show won't play it if it does go top 40 anyway, since they don't play half of the songs at the lower end of the list already (even the ones that aren't about alternative orifice usage). The glory days of Bruno Brookes it ain't. But it'd still be funny to see them have to gloss over it.
