Report Tommy Toes • January 23, 2013 9:06 PM GMT
The thing is, most are made as a joke in some irrelevant thread and it's only someone mentioning the same thing on another thread sometime later that the ball starts rolling - and carries on from there.

When Sultan Vinegar mentioned 'did he have horses in training with Henry Cecil' recently on some thread or other, it really made me laugh, as I knew the ball was 'in play' - after it was the original Don Giovani who asked the question in all seriousness about some other celebrity a few weeks before - but then kept asking it on other threads too, which was very amusing as he was just trying to find out the answer!

There's a page on Facebook  - 'Name a film with no S in it.' Shocked

First time I looked there were over 5,000 replies, this grew to about 7,000 in 4 hours, with some who thought they were  being really clever by naming 6 films in one post, as if it was a facking hard task.

Die Hard seemed to be mentioned more time than any other film.

I posted *leeple** in *eattle, it didn't raise one comment.

I tried again with 'Holmeth and the Hound of the Bathkervilleth - and then put 'I have  a lithp'

Still no comment, nobody on Facebook (apart from me I think) reads any previous comments at all.

I tested this theory the following day by posting. 'Die Hard - and if that has already been mentioned, I'll do a streak on Saturday at any footie match suggested.'

Responses - none

Somebody else put 'Are you lot serious??? I think it means the script, as well as the title, that has no letters in it, and there isn't one.'

I then posted 'I know one... 'One Million Yearth B.C.' with Raquel Welch - and I thtill have my lithp.

Once again...not one titter.
