Posted by chandler, 12:19, 5th December 2002:
 
i
Posted by chandler, 12:20, 5th December 2002:
 
as far as an engineer is concerned its a nice little cheat allowing him, or her to work out some stuff a bit easier. or something. i never did get it.
Posted by Sul, 12:26, 5th December 2002:
 
4?
Posted by cal, 12:30, 5th December 2002:

Posted by detergent_drinker, 13:41, 5th December 2002:
 
square of minus 1? is that pure or mechanics?
Posted by Sul, 14:14, 5th December 2002:
 
is it --1 therefore 1? or (1)^(1/2)?
Posted by cal, 14:50, 5th December 2002:
 
it's j. only mathematicians use i :)

ok, someone else do a question
Posted by Sul, 14:54, 5th December 2002:

Here's a question then (although a sport question, nothing to do with pop).

What is the only team in the English league, whose name does not us any of the letters in the word MACKEREL.
Posted by nibbler, 15:16, 5th December 2002:
 
Sorry, instead of what, I meant who is the only team in the English league, whose name does not us any of the letters in the word MACKEREL.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 15:19, 5th December 2002:
 
oxford?
Posted by Victor Menendez, 15:20, 5th December 2002:
 
Dont you mean who are the only team?
Posted by Sul, 15:23, 5th December 2002:
 
Boston
Posted by Sul, 15:25, 5th December 2002:
 
Or if we're going for full names as I suppose we are: Swindon Town
Posted by nibbler, 15:26, 5th December 2002:
 
Dont you mean Don't.

Boston United (has the letter e)

Oxford United (has the letter r and e)
Posted by Victor Menendez, 15:34, 5th December 2002:
 
don't you mean Use?
Posted by Victor Menendez, 15:36, 5th December 2002:
 
So suls right then, right?
Posted by nibbler, 15:38, 5th December 2002:
 
I feel like Victor is my school teacher. How do you ping bits of a rubber with a rule or let down their tyres, over the internet.

And yes Sul, you got the answer straight away and made it look a very simple question. I shall go and sit in the corner of the room and remain quiet.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 15:51, 5th December 2002:
 
Sorry Nibbler.

Try this one then (Without just looking up league tables)

4 teams in the scottish professional leagues both start and end with the same letter.

one is Celtic.

Can you name the others?
Posted by nibbler, 16:14, 5th December 2002:
 
It took me a fair while and I could only get three(I am too used to using Google for the answer to any question).

I can only get:

Dundee United
Alloa
East Fife
Posted by nibbler, 16:15, 5th December 2002:
 
I have just re-read your question again and realised you were only looking for three.

I think I have computer screen dyslexia.

Viz ref.
Posted by Grim..., 10:54, 3rd July 2003:
 
That'll be why then - Viz was just the Beano with swearing in.

Mind you, the Beano rocked =]
Posted by beargod, 10:56, 3rd July 2003:
 
I havn't rad Viz in ages, although I might read the annual I got, thats funny
Posted by arsepuppy, 10:56, 3rd July 2003:
 
Beano lacks the mighty Letterbocks and Profanisaurus, therefore it loses.
Posted by arsepuppy, 11:01, 3rd July 2003:
 
That'll be why then - Viz was just the Beano with swearing in.


You haven't really read it then, have you. There's quite a lot of topical satire in there. Also, the letters page is fucking genius.
Posted by Grim..., 11:07, 3rd July 2003:
 
Yeah, I used to read it.
The letters page just struck me as a bunch of boring letters written by red-necks.

That was a while ago, granted.
The top tips were quite good.
