Sing with gusto and no concept of rhythm and you will get an audition for X Factor.

To convert 9AM from early to late one simply need not go to bed.
In this simple way 9AM becomes very late and it's never too late for a drink.

Liam Neeson has trained Batman, Obi Wan and Darth Vader. He is both Aslan and Zeus...and he punches wolves. Why would you kidnap his family?

Long before becoming a Jedi, he already was one of King Arthur's Knights[^].

*Cough ahem* Pedant alert. He didn't train Darth Vader (or Anakin). He recommended that he be trained to the Jedi Council. He was killed before any training actually took place - he only returned to the Jedi fold after Anakin turned to Vader to instruct Yoda and Obi Wan how to live on after death.

"'It divided' states Goose before close of play."(4-7)
 

 

OK, I was confident of victory yesterday and was thwarted, but not today I think!
 
Even Kiwi Tom will struggle with this, Griffy will be ponderous and neither Ab nor Richard will get it I think.
 
(There's confidence for you! I suspect it will now be solved in about 10 mins).

Iron-curtain?
 
It divided states and a curtain comes down at the end of a play. Not sure about the Goose bit though?

GeneralRe: CCC 5/10/12memberTPFKAPB4 Oct '12 - 23:36 
Well done. I had the Curtain bit too, can't believe I didn't get the Iron from that.
 
Iron - Goose.[^]
GeneralRe: CCC 5/10/12memberJochen Arndt4 Oct '12 - 23:37 
I think it's the solution.
Googling Goose and iron:
 
Goose or tailor's goose was another iron name, and this came from the goose-neck curve in some handles. In Scotland people spoke of gusing (goosing) irons.
GeneralRe: CCC 5/10/12memberDalek Dave4 Oct '12 - 23:39 
Well Done Andy.
 

Almost two hours I lasted, not bad!
I had hoped to win, but you lot are getting better.
 
As you see above, a Goose is an Iron.

JokeBeggars can be choosersmemberVivic4 Oct '12 - 21:21 
A man walks past a beggar every day and gives him $10 and that Continues for a year. Then suddenly the daily donation changes to $7.50.
 
" Well," the beggar thinks, " it's still better than nothing."
 
A year passes in this way until the man's daily donation suddenly becomes $5.
 
" What's going on now?" the beggar asks his donor. " First you give me $10 every day, then $ 7.50 and now only $5. What's the problem?"
 
" Well," the man says, " last year my eldest son went to university. It's very expensive, so I had to cut costs. This year my eldest daughter also went to university, so I had to cut my expenses even further ."
 
" And how many children do you have?" the beggar asks.
 
" Four," the man replies.
 
" Well," says the beggar, " I hope you don't plan to educate them all at my expense"
GeneralThis is approaching comical!memberPaulowniaK4 Oct '12 - 21:11 
I'm currently translating some technical document from English to Japanese.
 
The English version was written by a Japanese engineer some years ago, probably based on a Japanese equivalent.
 
The original Japanese document is long lost, so I am now taking a mostly-well-written-but-sprinkled-with-Engrish-moments document and turning it back into Japanese.
 
If I find my manager rolling on the floor in fits of laughter next week, I'll know why... Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
 
Hey, I'm not trying to be funny, but given the situation, I can so see this going very very wrong!
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...
