    yeah, good ole lance.

    i think he still has all his yellow jerseys and has refused to give them back cos (paraphrasing) 'everyone was doping'.

    will stick that on record. i quite like him and all he has done for cancer (and cycling).

    predator.
    but you could argue three, not two. sonny landham ran in multiple elections, so it depends on whether your defintion of a politician is dependent on election success.

    A good guess because of that Fred Thompson guy, but I don’t think McTiernan directed and I don’t think there was a second politician.

    The actor that played the Predator, Kevin Peter Hall was 7 foot 2 inches tall, he also played the helicopter pilot at the end.

    Poor guy died of AIDS from a blood transfusion when he was only 35

    GAA question I devised myself:

    Taking into account when it was first the Texaco Hurler of the Year, through to its re-brand as GAA-GPA All-Star Hurler of the Year, what is the most common first name of those that have won it? Two of the players on the list played for the same county.


    Tony, Sullivan, Keady
    Tommy, Walsh, Dunne
    Ger/Jer Henderson, Cunningham, O Loughlin, (Jerry) Murphy

    Think the Gers and Jerrys is a push :)

    related; seth mcfarlane and mark wahlberg were in a similar situation on sept 11th. both were booked on american airlines flight 11. mcfarlane missed the flight, wahlberg had made other arrangements and didn't try to get to it.

    It is Tony.

    58- Tony Wall (Waterford)
    76- Tony Doran (Wexford)
    88- Tony Keady (Galway)
    90- Tony O'Sullivan (Cork)
    98- Tony Brown (Waterford, Brian Whelehan won the other award that year too)
    2012- Tony Kelly (Clare)

    Don't think there'll be as many Tony's around in the next generation.
