OH and I were multi-tasking the other day.Well,we were watching Countdown while we ate our tea which is multi-tasking enough for me but he does it all the time. He is usually following a football match on his tablet while the television is on in front of him.Of course, this means he never quite takes in the whole point at any time.

This, I think,is why he gave this answer to one of the questions on Countdown. There was a question about members of different royal houses and he said "William Brutus, you know, the one in the New Forest".

Why you no listen cooky boy?!

Didn't William Brutus stab Ceasar in the back?

I never was very good at geography :-(

Not in the New Forest he didn't.

The New Forest must be very old by now.

Sharron

Sharron Report 10 May 2018 10:38

It was new when William Brutus was there.

There were plenty of Romans roaming through the New Forest not sure how many stabbed who anywhere though. You could say we're stumped.

Dermot

Dermot Report 10 May 2018 12:13

Plenty of stabbings & other life-threatening incidents in London recently, keeping the Police fully employed.

Allan

Allan Report 10 May 2018 12:14

Or stabbed :-S

If the forest was New, there would be no stumps :-P :-D :-D

Dermot

Dermot Report 10 May 2018 12:38

That's stumped me!

Sharron

Sharron Report 10 May 2018 13:40

Is London new?

Caroline

Caroline Report 10 May 2018 13:40

Ah well at that time it wasn't the New Forest it was just a forest and there would be stumps as they'd cut down trees to use them silly :-P :-D

Wonder how many Adders got up the togas though :-)

Especially up a toga!! :-S :-S :-S

Strange that there's a pub called 'Sir Walter Tyrell' in the New Rorest, but not one called 'William Rufus'.
Only a stone to Rufus.
