Pass the time?
Apterous is down again, so how about something (slightly) different.
Proper noun conundrum game.
I'll start with one, and the first person to get it gives a new one, and so on. Any Length and with spaces if you want.

I don't know the answer, but in the spirit of Touchdown, it's one letter away from either Toni Basil or Lisa Bonet.

When it's freezing cold and wet in the middle of winter have you never said, "I'm buggered if I'm going out there in this weather"?Sue Sanders wrote:I don't see buggery as being a seasonal thing.

In my limited experience it would be 'I'm going to get buggered unless I go out there in this weather'.Phil Reynolds wrote:When it's freezing cold and wet in the middle of winter have you never said, "I'm buggered if I'm going out there in this weather"?Sue Sanders wrote:I don't see buggery as being a seasonal thing.

Re: Pass the time?
FFS. It's got nothing to do with buggery.
The manufacturers of this product regularly challenge the public over how they utilise this particular item. I'm unsure if they have done any thorough statistical analysis though.
There, that should make it really easy now.

That doesn't actually differentiate it from the KRASS DINOS CUNT SCANDAL though, which I think claimed 20,380 victims in total.Bob De Caux wrote:Sadly not Dinos! As a clue, it has a population of around 20,000

It has some great anagrams, though:

sick unsocial standards
