COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Adam, this place of yours is kinda like chat, except there's no furniture and it's kinda damp.

It may be damp where you're sitting, but it's perfectly okay over here.
It's Cold and Dark, not wet.
Bring in a bean bag, if it helps.

Actually, it is time for another question, i suppose.
Talking of Scotland, did you know that the Director of Planning and Strategic Develpoment at Aberdeen City Council, was, until recently, Mr Peter Cockhead?
Ok, as you know the first man to be killed by a train was the MP William Huskisson who rather foolishly walked in front of Stevenson's Rocket.
Some years earlier he narrowly survived death from a different cause.
What was it?

Erm... I have no idea

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I was having so much fun here I forgot to look at the clock.
Got to go take care of Bertha and Sir Scratchalot, my dog.
Good night.

Night Ed, sleep tight, thanks for dropping by.
Sorry about the damp in your corner.
Love to Bertha and Sir Scratchalot.
Sort of back to the Arthurian theme.

[Tidgy's Dad]

So, what are all these pts?
I'm so confused lol

Another point for being confused.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

No you don't, you have 11.
But now 10, lose 1 for guessing the points.
but + 1 for use of the word Yay.

Was he almost killed while sword fighting/fencing

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Was he run over by a horse? Or a cow like Alexander Pope?

3 pts for the horse guess.
nearly right.
A horse landed on his head while he was on honeymoon.

 

[spud's_mum]

They shouldn't have been in the bridle suite

 

[Lyn W]

I expect he was carted off to horsepital

Talking of Stevenson's rocket, did you know that when they were ready to test it, they decided that it would achieve speeds of between 20 to 30 mph and that humans couldn't travel this fast without suffering severe mental disorders.
So solid fences had to be put up along the length of the track to stop the viewing public seeing the passengers spasming and going crazy.

Sound pretty much like passengers on Arriva trains now. I sometimes catch the train to Cardiff and you certainly see some sights on there, I call it the Chavanooga Cho Cho!

They'd have been better off just foaling around instead of getting saddled with each other!
