FTA-TV First Dates - Part 5 - Back to the Repeats

[akkaps]

Post some links in here of any good quizzes.

I love the "one, two but not three" ones and the huge mega ones.. like theyve got one on each subject, eg. TV, movies, science, geography etc.

Countries of the World Quiz?

There's also a series of quiz where you have to guess a particular country, and as you type in the country the map will colour the country depending on how close it is to the target country.

I just like ones you can click tho tbh. With quizes you have to type, you need to get the spelling 100% and i cbfd with that.

"Mega sorting gallery" i think its called- they're my absolute faves.

The minefield versions too are good, but sucks if you get one wrong, its all over.

Capitals of US states are bloody hard- theyre never the major city. Chicago1 is there a particular reason for that? And are there any states where the major city IS the capital?

This seems to answer your question fairly well:

Why are most US state capitals not the largest cities in their states? Is it a coincidence, or is there some reason for it?

Answer (1 of 18): I think there are two primary factors: 1. Like User mentioned, a state's largest city today wasn't always the largest city at the time a state capital was selected. Carson City became Nevada's capital when it was granted statehood in 1864; Las Vegas, Nevada's largest city, wasn'...

I find logos a bit difficult tbh. Tv- depends on what it is.

It’s a great place to live. It’s got a nuclear plant, a tyre fire and a Lard Lad. .

Fun fact: When my grandpa was in business he had a company called Springfield Trucking. It’s a portmanteau of Springvale where his yard was and Campbellfield where he carted pipes out of.

Perth isnt too bad, is just stuck out in the middle of ****ing nowhere

Speaking of national parks... saw a show re. surviving horrific incidences, on 7Mate i think... a woman actually survived a Cougar attack while she was out biking.. the thing tore her off her bike and had her around the neck/face- until a guy came along and threw rocks at it, it let her go and ran off. Just crazy...


And of course the footage that was recently in the news- the cougar stalking that guy hiking. Just sooooooo ****ing lucky.

I placed two grocery online orders today, one for chicken and the other for eggs. Now to find out which comes first.....

I have seen this movie before. I've been posting and kind of watching so haven't been paying much attention.

I've switched over to SBS to watch the American news. I wonder if the election and this flu thing will be mentioned.

 

[Shell]

Hell yeah, 31 on Thursday. Shall be booking in for another swim.

 

[Chicago1]

My groceries just arrived. I'm not sure what to have first: the iced donuts, the cinnamon donuts, the chocolate covered sultanas or the pickled herring.
