Enjoy Boston. A great city. If there Sunday and looking for a place to watch the game go to The Banshee on Dorchester Ave

Yes. Worked there for a while, loved it. Used like to go to the restaurants in North End and argue with the waiters about football, lot of clueless Juve fans from what I remember.

I read that as your wife is a poor goalkeeper at first.

Regarding your uphill battle, well, you've been here long enough to know the rules.

Youd need a widescreen ;)

The funny quiz one was in Pointless.

The Q: name any actors of the magnificent 7 and kellys heroes?

the lady said james brown, the audience laughed hard.

the host "the king of funk".......and it was a pointless answer. There was a white james brown actor in the 50`s.

My favourite bit was when they asked for actors that have appeared in any Harry Potter film. The girl said… Well my best friend had a little part in one of them so I’ll say her. Unsurprisingly pointless.

It might come in useful one day. If I wake up in the night and can't get back to sleep, I have a numbe of lists I go through to help me drop off.

For instance, I go through the 50 US states and their state capitals. Or the 14 US presidents and the 15 UK PMs that coincided with the late Queen.s reign.

State capitals are surprisingly difficult ( for British people ) You think they’d be more obvious but I bet your average Brit would struggle to name three.

I'd watch Mastermind as a kid and would rarely get 2 questions right on the 2nd round of general knowledge....
The specialised subject round was always the complete works of Shakespeare or the English Civil War.
It became a ridiculous round when someone got on with The Sex Pistols as a specialised subject and a lad I know went on and did The Smiths. What next? One Direction?
I'd be pretty pissed off if I had studied the Complete works of Shakey only to lose to some bald fat aging punk rocker Who answered questions on a band that was around for 3 years and produced one album

But what a fucking album.
