    I spent half the day trying to figure out who Brinn Peters might be......

    And the other half trying to justify "Not At Home" as a legit football term .......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Full disclosure: I hate anagrams.

    Enjoy the suffering of others though.

    To be honest, I wasn't aware so many people were aware of my neighbours phrase for calling her son in from playing football in the evening, so was shocked to see it show up in the quiz! Baggers or Kol must live on my road...

    "Tom, Tea Hon!"
