Re: Expanded Names

Re: Expanded Names
i think the reason you and i are regarded as thick is the fact we think for ourselves.

Re: Expanded Names
I hope that neither of us are regarded as thick.
Those who regard us as thick are a bit 'off beam'.
I get the concept of this game but I just can't think of any.

just a mental blockage like i have always had in spotting the odd one out. like say, morecambe, blackpool, southport and halifax. the obvious answer would be halifax as its not on the coast. mine would be blackpool as its the only one with a motorway in its boundary. both answers are correct but i always get the wrong one in these even when i can prove i am correct.

you know that its not the first time i have heard those words. infact when my mates lad was growing up he found me quite entertaining and his day said to him, whatever he does do the opposite and you have a good chance of getting things right.
