Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Partook of my first RSM last night, which was "orchestrated" by Ironside. It was all rather bizarre, with rules being made up or abandoned as we went along. I'm not entirely sure if I loved it, or hated it, it was that kind of jobbie.

Briefly, early doors, I was in the top two or three, but I did not stay, lacked middle pace, & finished in mid-division anonymity. I briefly harboured dreams/nightmares of being the next question-setter, but we were all spared, & snoopy got the gig. Congrats him.

THIS would have been one of my Questions - NO GOOGLING.

It's a two-parter, and is based on information correct as of March 1st, 2009.

Part 1 - What do these numbers refer to?

Part 2 - What is the name of the Country omitted from # 2 place. (with 476 against it?).



UK - 2,282

?   -   476

Poland - 301

Japan - 125

USA - 115

Irish Republic - 100

China - 56

France - 1

PS - No, they are not average IQ's.

Tighty & Andrew T are banned from entering. Too clever. As it's hard, Girlies may enter twice.

Don't forget - NO GOOGLING!

Too hard for you, was it Andrew? The numbers were very prominent in most of yesterdays newspapers.

Tikay, I know you are quite a fan of Ryan Air, so wonder what you make of this........http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/news.php?yr=09&month=apr&story=gen-en-220409.

In these days of excess and everything has its price is this now acceptable, is it fair?

Hi Robbie,

Thanks for the (loaded) question.

I will reply to this later today.

It's just kite-flying really, tongue-in-cheek, but I'll respond properly later. Let's imagine we work for RyanAir, & God (Michael) had just told us to implement that "fat-charge". So I'll do a "Dear Michael" Memo, as if from one of his Staff.

This information was liberally splashed all over yesterday's newspapers, so if you were paying attention, you'd know.

That's not the point.  That's not how RSQ questions are meant to work...

Napoleon would have been proud he was right.

LOL I had to go take a look in the mirror to make sure I was still alive !!

A man whose dismembered body was found in locations across Leicestershire and Hertfordshire may have been overweight and had dark hair, police have said.

I hope their evidence isn't based on second-hand information...
