I still don't understand this one. What sport is it referring to?
Can someone explain it using short words please?
Rugby. It apparently represents the end of the match. I've never heard it before.
Ah, ok. Weird. Maybe just a Celt thing?

no. commonly used by older refereesin the 80s. is mentioned in tom brown's schooldays and many other

Don’t click if this is that disturbing to you, but many people in the Victorian era had family photos taken with a deceased family member, often a child.

It’s not used in NZ but if you ever played Jonah Lomu rugby, you’ll have heard it.

I’ve seen it used a few times. The first time, I’m sure, was in a newspaper (?The Scotsman, as we took it at home back then) in a report on Scotland’s GS win back in 1990.

Well I had to check that one. Reminds me of the four colour theorem - in any map, however complicated, no more than four colours are required to ensure that no two adjacent regions have the same colour.

What’s with the travel into all by heading due south thing? I’m often slow on riddles but I see LA to the south...

Edit: okay, I see it... can access each state by traveling south from a portion of it. For Oklahoma that must be a very small opportunity?

1 (and 2) Austerity in the UK is to blame for 135 thousand deaths, before Covid even hit and during Covid, tens of thousands of infected people were forced to go into work as there was zero support for them if they didn.t..spreading the disease wildly..

3) Boris desperately wanted a "Brexit" ventilator (a ventilator provided by Dyson and Caterpillar and Brexit entrepreneurs) and completely ignored other established ventilator suppliers, many of which not just went to the wall, the ventilators they supplied had to be taken from the front line for lack of parts and servicing.

There is more evidence that we (human beings) created the universe than God.

If in 200 thousand years it is possible that the human race can create a big bang, (bare in mind how far technology has advanced in just a hundred years), then it is extremely likely that the big bang that created us is man made.
We are the only things in the universe you can point a stick at that will shortly (time is relative) have the technology to create a big bang.
Who created the first one, if all we are doing is replicating big bangs..who knows.
Who cares.
The big bang that created us was most likely man made.

I called this theory hillbilly2 theory.
It hit me when I was sat in the bath reading a brief history of time around 2002.
Four years later a article in the daily Express said that " scientists are worried about creating a big bang in a particle accelerator".

Less likely man made, but made by intelligent life, yes. If this universe is man made, we would also need to figure out how to bypass the Carlow of time within this universe.

More likely it’s a simulation.

We are hurtling towards the sun at a rate of knots, if we have the technology to reset the entire thing, have the tech to create a big bang, that will esentialky create life on earth in our future and in 30 thousand, 50 thousand or 140 thousand years..why wouldn't we?
I (unlike Christians or religionists) have actual evidence for my theory, I can point at technology that is all around you.

From the BBC today -

Neutron stars are dead stars that are incredibly dense. A teaspoonful of material from a neutron star is estimated to weigh around four billion tonnes.

And yet still not as dense as Ben Youngs.

I read an interesting sci fi novel that postulated our universe was created as a by product of another universes exotic power/propulsion system their ships used to explore the 'real universe.

Simulation theory is a pretty robust explanation for our universe though - would not surprise me at all.
