    Do old people, because I'm assuming you're well old based on that reaction ;), consider being in your 30s showing off?

    The only two I was certain of were Bono and Geldof. Not to mention the song was released about three years before I was born.

    :eek:

    Well that's definitely nothing to brag about shelly.

    Twentysomethings are basically just teenagers who drink coffee, and I think we all know that teenagers are the absolute worst... :D

    Are they angry at me because they're older than I am and are just angry at everything because they've nothing but their pensions to look forward to? Or are they just angry with me because I'm a cheeky bollocks?

    Because the second one is justified in fairness.

    Our median today is close-ish, it's 35
    Six people on that, scoring maximum points

    And purple tin has a mare :eek:
    45.I think it is less but some dum dums are bound to guess in the hundreds or even thousands and screw up the average.
    ...ten minutes later...
    I've been thinking that I might be underestimating the dum dums so I'll change my answer to 150.

    Have I mentioned how much I love this game? Not as much as I love the Dizzee Rascal version of Band Aid though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,504 ✭✭✭davetherave


    My reasoning for picking 42 was that it was released in 85 and there was no way there was 85 singing in it, so in the absence of any knowledge just take half of 85 to get 42. That's as good a reason as any right?

    It was actually released in December 1984 just after a report from Ethiopia. The Live Aid concert took place in July 1985.

    And while we’re at it half of 85 would be 43 rounded :)
