Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

The first13-14 seconds. It sounds like another guitar solo from the 60s or 70s, I think. It may have actually been an instrumental song (think it probably was).
Can someone help jog my memory as it's doing my nut in and I really want to listen to it....

You lot are useless.
Except for uptonparkhurst.... just noticed you nailed it. You're exceptional, well done.
You sir are a gentleman. That poxy tune popped in me head a while ago and it's been driving me up the wall trying to figure out where it was from..........

It's all to do with the constituent parts.
Bogies are made up of lots of different substance mixed in with dirt and dust etc you breathe in. The greeness has something to do with the iron in the neutrophils which fight infection.
As they are different substances, they have different colours
Automatic doors. Why, sometimes, do they open so slowly? I approach them, expecting them to open as normal, but they move apart as fast as a tortoise walking up hill in treacle and I almost end up smashing my face into them.
I seem to recall on a previous page (well previous in fact) someone asking why their urine smells after eating asparagus (and sugar puffs?).
Well, you'll be really happy to find out that some scientists with too much time on their hands have studied it, and have determined that our ability to smell di-methyl sulphide in urine after eating asparagus in genetic i.e approx 60% can detect it, the other 40% are anosmic.
Just for your christmas delight here is the report in the British Medical Journal

Because any normal thinking team would practice launching the ball in the box (while beating the 1'st man) and not f*** about playing short ones and generally ****ing it up.
Get the ball in the box...!!!
Rom, I am assuming you mean the 10 yard rule...

I've never really understood players who opt to take short corners. If they make a short pass from the corner flag to a player who hoofs it into the box then fair enough, but taking a short one and trying to muddle your way into the box is something I'll never understand.

Fair enough if they're doing it to change the angle of delivery into the box but it does my nut in when a player who couldn't beat one defender and the keeper then tries to dribble into a crowded penalty area for the opportunity to shoot at the keeper and 6 defenders on the goal line with 4 of his teammates in the way.
