More shame for Celtic FC.

Is that true?!

Blimey.

I heard that he was a knacker alright.

I heard that Mark Kennedy had a fondness of pissing in bars a la Sean O’Brien but not sure how true that is.

Fagan_ODowd · December 2, 2020, 5:32pm

Seems to be.

farmerinthecity · December 2, 2020, 5:41pm

I misread it - it’s Luke senior. Still - a good story.

myboyblue · December 2, 2020, 6:22pm

And setting fire to money in front of homeless people

farmerinthecity · December 2, 2020, 6:36pm

I thought that was Robbie Keane?

Pretty sure it was before Robbie’s time

The collective noun for whales is a gam

I’d be slow enough to chance asking it at a table quiz, you could meet resistance.
It’s in there, but so is school, pod and herd. I’d plump for school, you’re prepping for the annual quiz I presume.

TreatyStones · December 2, 2020, 9:58pm

It was in a crossword, I’d initially assumed Pod.

flattythehurdler · December 2, 2020, 10:02pm

A gam of Welsh would seem to fit.

anon67715551 · December 2, 2020, 10:08pm

There doesn’t appear to be a collective noun for stooks which is a pity.
A stack might fit but doesn’t have a satisfactory agri-twang. Opinions…

TheUlteriorMotive · December 2, 2020, 10:10pm

Stooks is itself a collective noun?

Thornhill · December 2, 2020, 10:11pm

Yeah I would have thought the same.

TheUlteriorMotive · December 2, 2020, 10:11pm

Would swathes of stooks work for you @anon67715551
