FACT:  The Simpsons 'Top Trumps' game scoring is way off and makes a mockery of all that makes Top Trumps a valuable source of protein.

Sorry for the delay in answering Capt. Zeep. The Colour Blind James Experience is the right answer.

Your prize is the recognition of your peers that you in fact have impecable taste in music and are obviously a top bloke.

(Not very interesting) FACT : At last, at long long last, my computer woes are solved.

(Obvious) FACT : Computer Technical Helplines have much in common with chocolate fireguards.

(Helpful) FACT : Not being able to access message boards for weeks gives you enough free time to learn to juggle live ferrits while ski-ing through a revolving door.

Margaret Thatcher was not in fact Britain's first female Prime Minister, Winston Churchill was. Winston's real name was Winifred, and she only pretended to be a man because at that time women were not allowed to smoke cigars.

"The Simpsons 'Top Trumps' game scoring is way off and makes a mockery of all that makes Top Trumps a valuable source of protein."

And, in a travesty of everything Top Trumps should be about, they claim Homer Simpson works in Sector G7 of the Springfield Nuclear plant.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

IT'S 7G, YOU FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!! (dreams of happy childhood not playing Top Trumps according to the rules destroyed by flagrant negligence of researchers)

(comforting) FACT:  UK Prime Minister, Rt Hon Tony  Blair, surprised everyone at a recent press conference by declaring that his youngest son, Leo, was the Son of God and earlier that morning had left a revised version of the Book of Job smeared on the inside of his non-disposable nappy. This has been hushed up by the press because, to be honest, stranger things have happened at Downing Street press conferences.

The Innit people of North London consider 'bling' and 'ice' to be useful aids to conception, accidental or otherwise

Some real facts learnt during my previous profession (not all necessarilly by experience, I hasten to add).

-Head & Shoulders is so strong, you can perm hair with it.

-Johnson's Baby Shampoo isn't any milder than normal shampoo, it just doesn't use salt as a thickening agent like others do (hence eye-stingage).

The 'blue rinse' that little old ladies have isn't meant to be used as a hair dye at all. It's a colour correction dye for removing yellow from blonde/grey/white hair. It's also not blue, but mauve.

Incontinent old ladies smell much worse after being under a hot hairdryer for 20 minutes.

Semen is apparently a wonderful moisturiser.

A fact gleaned from my current profession:

"No comment" rarely means "no comment". It usually means "Hey, you've got me bang to rights but f*** off because I have to phone my lawyer!"

Also, according to this press release I have before me, England and Leeds defender, Danny Mills, has just bought a new Mercedes in Harrogate! (shock news - expensive car dealership sells over-priced motor vehicle to man with lots of money and little sense. I can see it on the front page already!)

Having just looked at the Buffy Top Trumps, I can offer the fact that the scoring in there is suspect as well;

Buffy's mum MORE INTELLIGENT than Adam?

The Master WEAKER IN NIGHT COMBAT than Giles?

WoD.

[longmanshort]

If you can't trust top trumps, who can you trust?

Me.

No, actually I'm a liar.

Or am I lying?

Yes.

Fondly remembered Blue Peter presenter John Noakes is famous for his catchphrase "Get down Shep", he recently revealed however, that he had stood in one of Shep's turds that evening and actually said "God damn sh*t".
