Also why does Italy get two entries, with San Marino? That's like the UK getting a main entry plus one for Cullercoats.

It was a regular haunt for me in the 80s. Used to blag free entry by doing reviews for the student mag. So many gigs there, so few reliable memories.

If they once had trackie bottoms, they once had trousers WITHOUT a fly. Not with.

But the clue said ONCE. Everybody has a fly in their trousers nearly all the time, not just once. So there.

I've noticed this too here in Notts. Have to clean my visor after a motorcycle ride. Also there are butterflies in the garden, which were notably absent last year.
