Yeah, the actor who played the random red cross in a white square was brilliant. He deserved awards for his role as "Random red cross in white square"

In a certain fast food restaurant in the UK, pancakes are served with maple syrup as a breakfast offering. I have never tried it.



Is that REAL maple syrup or the fake stuff that Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth sells?

Cricket is indeed the correctly identified sport you correctly identified, Philip, but that's not the missing word. It's like what you would do if someone sprayed you with gasoline and then lit a match

Sorry, i made an error in the first post I made, but the headline sounds like the titles of songs sung by busted and Savage Garden. And Usher did nt sing Thunderbirds, but birds sounds a bit like the missing word

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that's in the side that's in, goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When both sides have been in and out including the not outs, that's the end of the game'.

That far back, I had not realised.

Van McCoy continued his successful production career with, among others, Faith, Hope And Charity, until his premature death from a heart attack in 1979.

It was one of the first records I have vivid (and rather horrifying) memories with... :o
Our music teacher used to play it a lot during lessons and....she danced to it...oh, the horror! :o

But it's still a classic to me! (although it is a cover)

Coming to think of it: what are the origins of this superstition? ???
From: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-tou1.htm
The origin is unknown, though some writers have pointed to pre-Christian rituals involving the spirits of sacred trees such as the oak, ash, holly or hawthorn. There is, I’m told, an old Irish belief that you should knock on wood to let the little people know that you are thanking them for a bit of good luck. There’s also a belief that the knocking sound prevents the Devil from hearing your unwise comments. Others have sought a meaning in which the wood symbolises the timber of the cross, but this may be a Christianisation of an older ritual. It wasn’t always wood that was lucky: in older days, iron was also thought to have magical properties, and to touch iron was an equivalent preventative against ill-fortune.

That might be true... :-\\

I was just thinking it may have to do with the cross that Jesus Christ died upon. It was (obviously) made of wood, and therefore (touching) wood would provide a certain amount of, well, protection perhaps..? A blessing from above? ???

One theory of mine is William Shakespeare. At the start of Hamlet:

SCENE I. Elsinore. A platform before the castle.

FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him BERNARDO

BERNARDO
          "Who's there?"

I have always wondered did you hear a knock on a door before the first line, and 16th century parodies followed.

Lord, what fools these mortals be.
