    OK...?

    This has got me stumped.
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Ah, what I just did conjures up a Britney Spears song.
    Sorry.

    Couple of throat lozenges and you'll be fine @hunnybunny but you better look after the Bunnyman that's a serious condition he has there.

    My daughter just getting over covid without passing it on(we told Granny Z we had a plague but she insisted on coming--dang it).Think she has a spell for it anyway.
    Hear the Chinese have come up with a new killer disease white lung pneumonia I believe they're calling it.They are fiendishly good at it aren't they?
  • Brian NBrian N
    See England's cricketers are picking up where they left off-loosing to a team so bad they couldn't qualify for the world cup.

    Well, I wouldn’t want to put anyone through the awfulness of watching idiots making fools of themselves on Bargain Hunt; but on Friday it’s from Sheffield and here’s my sister talking about the Botanic Gardens. As you may notice, she’s very short, very knowledgeable, and doesn’t look a bit like me!

    She obviously got the brains @hunnybunny.
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Nasty!
  • Brian NBrian N
    I too am thinking of a Britney song .

    Had a go at the challenge and found it was timing out really quickly.Just downloaded Finn Ice version and seems to give you longer.
    Also noticed that only Finn Ice and Ham Dunk are playable as the other episodes were originally available via the cloud and Rovio made the cloud disappear.Does anyone know how long this feature lasted?Not really an issue as I've played them and put scores down for these episodes .However Pig Days was released in the same manner so I won't have access to any glitchy original versions and knowing my luck there will be loads of points missed.
    Bloody Rovio,they never did this on any other game.
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    You could just claim anyone on TV was your sister on that basis, @hunnybunny, and we wouldn't know any better.
  • ixan57ixan57
    So @DesperateDan you are saying Shakespeare did not have a sister. Here is proof, granted there is not a lot of resemblance.

    Good song, Ian, and that is absolutely, without any doubt, whatsoever, my sister
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Anyway, popped into town, for some Christmas shopping, and a light lunch at the best and cheapest Italian restaurant, ever
    Due to Facebook posts “I’m in The Cottage” “I’m in the Cambrian Tap”
    Two legendary Cardiff pubs
    We stagger home four hours, and half a bottle of whiskey later…

    On Advent, no changes to Hollydog Badge
    Yesterday’s had three sus top scores, that were not taken down
    Today's shows a top score of 204k, obviously taken down, but still shows
    I give up!
    But will try some drunken flinging
  • Brian NBrian N
    Typical first puppy score in yonks and the pet shop is closed.
  • Brian NBrian N
    Finally got round to watching Boat Story and was entertained though I could've done without the talkover guy and the musical interludes they didn,t quite work for me.Funniest line..."You're not effing Rambo you turnip!"
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Woot, Brian!
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    I’d have done without the play, but loved the ending
    They all got what they deserved, other than PC2
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    That is, without any proof, whatsoever, your sister. But I'll take it.

    Hollydog needs a revamp, for sure. What we need is an IDEA. We moan but do we suggest an alternative? I don't mean just revert to normal. But I can't think of anything that would work. For example, we could shoot for lowest scores but how could that be recorded?
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Oh dear, I'm only still on episode 1 of Boat Story. Got a bit distracted working my way through the Eccleston Dr Who series which, although I'm not so keen on him as the Doctor (although infinitely better than the hopeless Whitaker), have some great RTD scripts (e.g. you can tell the aliens from the humans because they are the ones who keep farting - Blade Runner never thought of that).

    Also dipped into some black and white Troughton era episodes. Not bad actually but the way women are portrayed as either weak helpless damsels or crazily dominant makes for painful viewing.
  • Brian NBrian N
    Yes although I think Dr Who would've been improved if Jodie had been kept in the Tardis kitchen.
  • Brian NBrian N
    My only beef with Eccleston was that he wimped out after one series otherwise I think he could've been a good 'n.

    No question Russell T writes a good script(tho' Moffat was also v good) but why does Donna Noble have to have a transgender daughter?It adds nothing to a show like Dr Who.This is where RTD will lose fans of the prog going forward as I'm sure I'm not the only one fed up with this transgender bender non binary nonsense.The Doctor I'm afraid has been hijacked by the LBT brigade.Have ranted before on this subject so I'll shut up now.
  • Brian NBrian N
    Playing a glitchy GE level atm.Anyone remember Golden Basketball with the cowboy doing lurid gyrations?Who needs Magic Mike?
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Well, Dan, and whoever you want to rope in for Hollydog message sweetp, and give her some suggestions
    It won’t be me, I was in the first lot
    We fell out, big time

    We are seeing Christopher Eccelston next Tuesday as Scrooge in The Old Vic
    Saw it last year, different actor, and as a critic said “if the Old Vic put in on every year, I will go every year”

    Mr B loves A Christmas Carol, with or without songs, with or without Muppets
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    I’m ignoring “in the kitchen” comment
    It wasn’t her fault, just bloody awful plots
    Obviously, didn’t …
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    HappyShake, long gone from this site, did a lowest score challenge
    I can’t even begin to tell the fallouts of four flingers, two dead, one disappeared, and me
  • Brian NBrian N
    As I've said before I do think Jodie W is a good actress and yes Chibnall didn,t help but a female Doctor just seems wrong.Although conversely Michelle Gomez was brilliant as The Master.
  • Brian NBrian N
    Go on you've already begun.
  • Brian NBrian N
    Re @sweetp,as you know I did ask about a change this year but the reply is basically if it requires extra work for admin volunteers it won't be happening.So any IDEAS are null and void unless you want to volunteer @desperatedan?
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    @brianN you should never speak ill of the dead, so no more from me
  • Brian NBrian N
    What about the one that disappeared then?
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    I think the first Hollydog crew was me, Karen, Kathy, Sweetp
    May have forgotten someone else
    How about the player who is most improved on scores?
    @BrianN seems to be winning at present
    I’m bottom, not a bloody point gained
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    It was Kimmie! You must have seen her chats with Kathy
  • Brian NBrian N
    Yes they were like Laurel and Hardy and Kimmie just disappeared?

    Think Dan has most improved scores but he has a machine.
  • Brian NBrian N
    10 1/2 months isn't long enough with my Neanderthal approach to technology.Think I'd break The Nest.
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    I only use artificial means on ABO, not anywhere else.
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Filth!
    Pure unadulterated filth!
    Radio 4!
    Can't breathe for laughter.
    (Just catching up with this week's I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue).
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Ah, Dan, never listen to Radio4, must start, TomPuss sent me a link to a soundless rabbit story on R4, also filth!
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    I wrote an obituary for Rat, published under Theo’s name, as me and Rat had such a public fallout!
    It was easy, taking quotes from his own posts
    I’ve written one for Kathy, so much harder: how do you capture her spirit?
    It’s in the general forum
    Brian and Dan, let me know if you want anything changed (or grammar corrections, Dan!)
    My BFFs group, with Ian, Tompuss, Karen, and others, also tasked
    Bird leader can make it “Sticky” so it’s always near the top, once we are all satisfied
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    What is there is great @hunnybunny. No grammar issues with me!
  • Brian NBrian N
    Yea verily a nice tribute indeed I'll add my own two penneth as time passeth(sorry don't know why I've gone into Upstart Crow mode).Anyway you guys knew her longer than me so I'll give deference to you and the Nest bigwigs.

    Can't believe you had a public fallout with Mr Rat @hunnybunny,so unlike you to be confrontational.
  • Brian NBrian N
    Think we should assign @ixan57 to count how many comments Kathy made in the entire nest.I'll do the BP...33048...Come on Casey Jones !
  • ixan57ixan57
    @BrianN maybe. Good idea, give me a little time. Always up for a challenge.
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    That's more than 10 a page! And she hardly posted a thing over the last 2 years.
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Gap to @asher down to 398k in Angry Birds. He's over 400k ahead of me in Jurassic Pork alone. So I am ahead in everything else. Caveat: I have a 1 million bonus from Classics to help me. Do you think I am poking the bear?
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Hang on, soundless rabbit story on the radio?
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Dan, you know!
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Oh dear...
    Dumb doe?
    Quiet coney?
    Hushed hare?

    I'm sorry, I haven't a clue (about this). Must be a bunny thing.

  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Arrgghh, the Xmas charts look horrendous. A sad indictment on the paucity of music today. C'mon @brianN, let's get The Fall to No 1. Choose a suitable festive number from their ubiquitous catalogue.
