Which way round does it happen?
Does Columbo ask his wife: "Which celebrities do you really like?" and when she names them he just goes off and arrests them.
Or does Columbo say to his wife: "Guess who I was just talking to?" and she replies: "I don't know, but I suppose you're going to arrest them."
-
I may not know what I'm talking about here, but isn't this question about 30 years too late?
-
Too late for what?
Which two people have played both Captain Bligh and the Hunchback of Notre Dame?
-
Charles Laughton....and I didn't even have to Google it!!
-
now I've read it properly...two people??
-
Yes, there is another.
-
Yes, there is another.
I'm beginning to sound like Yoda.

And now I'm quoting myself.
-
Anthony Hopkins.
30 years too late to ask Columbo for a start....
-
Did you have to look up the answer?
By the way, Columbo isn't a real person.
-
I'll treat that question with the contempt it so richly deserves.
Yes, but only to confirm my answer.
He isn't? Who discovered America then?
-
Columbus discovered America, and then he was arrested by Columbo.
-
I suppose that'd be Mrs Columbo's fault then?
-
Don't be daft! She wasn't even born back then!
-
I've just come back from an Italian meal with the missus and friends. I think "Calamari" would be a good name for a detective.
-
Marginally better than Acquadella O Latterino Fritto I suppose.
-
Amerigo Vespucci discovered the Americas (mostly Central and South). Columbus discovered the West Indies. John Cabot (backed by Britain) is credited with discovering the North American mainland.
-
I loved Columbo, it was a very clever series, in the sense that it married Holmesian methods with a love for the underdog. The baddies were inevitably smooth and arrogant, looking down their noses at poor old Columbo in his broken down car and his crumpled coat.
It's a very successful, populist formula, used by Chaplin, and if I was planning a new drama series I'd pretty much nick it.
-
The average IQ of the Beau Peep board sure soared since Malc joined.
I too will try to think of something clever. I don't think it will be today though.
-
Not many people know that Einstein was hard of hearing and that led to his discovery of the theory of relativity.
His first job was as a very bad busker in Manchester. He set up in Albert Square and started to play his banjolele. His caterwauling prompted a passer-by to comment: "Ee... 'e could empty t' square".
-
That's excruciating, Malc - bravo!
Interestingly, most people assume America got it's name from Amerigo Vespucci, but this is not the case. Had this been the case, we would have had a 'special relationship' with Vespuccia today, since always new lands were named after a surname and never a forename.
America was actually named after the chief patron of John Cabot's voyage (Cabot was Italian, real name Giovanni Caboto), a Welshman and wealthy Bristol merchant, Richard Ameryk.
Columbus actually thought the world was pear-shaped and a quarter of its actual size. The closest he came to setting foot on America's mainland was the Bahamas, and he made his crew swear an oath that, if asked, they would say they had reached India. No-one is absolutely certain of his nationality - the main evidence points to him being the son of a Genoese weaver, but there are also reasonable claims he may have been Sephardic Jewish, Spanish, Corsican, Portuguese, Catalan or Greek. He preferred to be known as either Columbo or Colon.

COLUMBO = LOB MUCUS
:o
-

:o
Columbus actually!
COLUMBO = COOL BUM
-
I noticed that one as well but didn't post it because I thought it was infantile.
-
Yes, but yours wasn't correct. At least mine was!
-
Oh, I meant Columbus . . .
-
Why do we bother, Malcolm?
-
. . . because it delays again having to deal with your sad existence? ;D
-
Don't drag me into this. ::)
-
Malc, "sad existence" referred to Tarquin's life, not you.
-
This is no joke, the Japanese made their own version of Columbo and called it Corumbo.
OK, I lied.
But I bet that's what they call him.
-
Corumbo is just about to leave the room, but always turns, puts his little Japanese cigar to his forehead and says "Whaaarr. Just-a whun-a mo'fing"...
-
I was more of a "Charlie's Angels" man, myself. Gritty, realistic scripts set in the mean streets of '70s Los Angeles. There were some heart-stopping moments when one of the girls would be forced to go undercover as a contestant in the "Miss U.S.A." contest.
-
I know what you mean, Roger - their hair was constantly in danger!
Mincey, you remember a while back you asked me in all seriousness whether you'd ever really upset me? Keep trying, loser! ;D

dont you morons know that the vikings discovered America first
It was in april
-
Peter, that's your first post. You can't just waltz in here and call us morons. You need to be here at least three weeks before you can do that, otherwise it's a very rash judgement indeed.
Did they?
Welcome.
-
I was insulting you from day one.
-
Why not I had two minutes to waste why not spread some happyness around
-
I was insulting you from day one.
Yes, but that was MY day one, not yours. It took me a little longer until I insulted you back.
Peter, happiness has no 'y' in it, you "?$%^&*(!!
-
If I remember rightly, my first post on the old board was:
@#*%@ $£@$% &%$@ $$@@ you, Roger!
-

Who the f@#/ are you calling a moron you 2 post internet message board virgin >:(
-
Me a virgin. I will ask my wife, if she agrees then I will accept this insult.
She say's "No"
Must still be a moron.
-
Four posts on one day, then nothing. Peter, is your real name Marie Celeste?
-
He doesn't actually care. He is just, like me now, trying to get his name on the end of all the topics.
-
Oh the unoriginality of it all. You know you'll never succeed, don't you?
-
Why do you think that?
-
yuor right
-
Is it just bad spelling and punctuation or are we meant to deduce something from those two words above?
-
I thought you liked anagrams
-
Is "I thought you liked anagrams" the anagram?
-
As soon as I work it out I will let you Know.
In the mean time try it
-
"I thought you liked anagrams" is an anagram of "Marauding Tautology Sheikh" or "Haughtily Outranked Amigos".
-

Must have taken you split seconds to work those out, Mincey. Which programme/website did you use?

It was on BBC1 this morning.

Watch it mince the licence van may be able to read and prove that you use a tele

I'm sure he wouldn't have missed Friday's East Enders.

At the moment I am watching a rather disturbing film about a man who cons several children into his factory and then tortures them one by one: one lad is nearly drowned; one girl is given an experimental substance that makes her face and body swell; another is thrown into a garbage collector. I won't go on. I'm surprised it was given a "U" rating. Has anyone else seen "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"?
-
Brilliant, isn't it?
-
Of course. The Johnny Depp one is awful by comparison.
-
I think they're both excellent.
-

You poor children you should try to get out more
Go cut the lawn see nature in the raw

If I went bird-watching, or cut the lawn naked, I'd be arrested.
