Tony Willis, you are a legend…. And I will now be more than happy to buy you your free pint when I next see you ;D
Dave, sorry, no half pint for you (maybe a quarter? Or just a little sip from my glass), I think you will find I said “unless you can boil Rick Astley down to a number, you're also wrong” which was correct, you got the Rick Connection, but could not boil it down to a number. So you were along the right lines, but wrong at the same time lol.
But anyway, well done to Tony. To clarify, my first clue was that it was a number, and then I said it was a 13 digit number. That should have all alerted you to look for the number 13 somewhere in the 2 paragraphs, and from there you could see that there were 13 sentences in the writing. Given the fact that it was just incoherent rubbish I was typing, the next big clue was when I said to think about the person that wrote the question… and what kind of personality he has.
I of course like Rick rolling, I even changed my avatar to give you a little clue. So let’s take each sentences and look for the theme….
We’re sitting on the side of a wall.
Whilst sitting we have no care in the world.
And as strangers pass us by, we don’t mind if they stop and stare.
We just assume they’ve no other place to go nor piece of mind.
For whilst they may lack the love of this beautiful day, we as Bar Billiards players embrace it.
But now I must ask you all a question!
Do you really know what I’m talking about?
What exactly is the point in all this?
Have I explained the rules correctly?
And even if you do understand the rules, is this game fun or annoying?
So with those questions in mind, I’ll keep it simple for now.
But do try and crack this code.
For a free pint, I know you’re bound to give it a try!
Once you know your looking for a theme with Rick Astley, you can do as Barbleman did.
You spot the epic line “We’re No Strangers To Love. You Know The Rules, and So Do I”. Once you spot that, you simply count the number of words in from the start of each sentence where the corresponding word you're looking for is. So in sentence 3, strangers is the 3rd word in. Do that 13 times, and you come up with the correct answer….
1539764451125
On my final note, I would like to say well done again to Tony, but also a little side not for the Warrior and my old friend Tommo….
Guys, you’ve been rickrolled yet again! Only this time you didn’t know you were being rickrolled :) If I can’t make you listening to this great song, I’m gonna at least make sure you’re seeing it….. even if you don’t know it.
(Glenn performs evil chuckle, and looks around for money so he can by Warrior and Tommo a pint as well)
Take care everyone
PS I know Warrior and Tommo won't do this, but I encourage everyone to take a quick look at the video below ;D

Thanks Glenn (git ;D ;D) I can get back to work now.....
Should it be 1538764451125 rather than 1539764451125
Dave can have half my free pint for an inspired first guess!
Tony

Yes well done indeed to 'Mastermind' Tony.
As for the Chubbster, I'm a little worried by the starstruck obsession........thought I was bad enough with Cathy Dennis, Sia Furler and Little Boots: but Rick Astley ? :o :o

I guess that the grey cells just don't work right when you watch too much of Rick Astley! ::) ;D Good luck with the subterfuge "Rick-Rolling" tactics Glenn.... I'm sure you will catch some of us out again soon, but sadly I won't be watching any of the links you put up here in future.... even if they really are potentially great developments to promote the game.... just in case (c)RA(p) has been included as well. ::) |

As for the Chubbster, I'm a little worried by the starstruck obsession........thought I was bad enough with Cathy Dennis, Sia Furler and Little Boots: but Rick Astley ? :o :o A couple of suggestions for the Chubbster.... Why not start a Rick Astley Forum.... and then play them lots of clips of Bar Billiards games and see how they like it! Who knows, it could see a huge growth in our game? ::) ;D Option two.... you could write a song for bar billiards to try to promote the game, I will even give you the first couple of lines of the chorus... Never gonna miss the one up, Never gonna knock the pegs down, .... I'm sure that you will find a tune to sing it to.... and yes, I would listen to the completed song! :o ;D ;D ;D |
