No, this would be a named and well-known 'recipe' for oysters. You could walk into an oyster bar and ask for 'Oysters X'DRT wrote:Steamed?

Not correct. But at least it's an actual guess. So you are guaranteed at least 40%.DRT wrote:BBQ?
It might have been a genuine guess... Grilled Tutu Oyster could be Oyster grilled while decorated with a ring of diced shallots...djewesbury wrote:Pay attention young man.PhilW wrote:Grilled while wearing a tutu.djewesbury wrote:Grilled seems imprecise to me.

I am 6'4", and even though my legs are short for my height I do still have a 34" inseam. So no, that is too many.LGTrotter wrote:61,310.
Which pedometer did Glenn use?shenders wrote: How many steps do you take in a marathon?
A couple of guys where I work are into this '10,000 steps a day' walking exercise stuff.
They both have pedometers, so I borrowed them on my lunchtime trot just to see how many steps I took.
An 8.4 mile run worked out at 10,078 steps on one pedometer and 11,280 on the other. Strangely they were identical pedometers, so I'm surprised at such a difference. I'm going to repeat the exercise tomorrow to see if the same happens.

Did Matthew Fisher (my classmate's dad, whose recording studio we used to muck about in) play organ on this track?AHB wrote:Oh damn!
Right. This one is designed to be entirely impossible (and was mentioned before), but I will give clues as we go along. The better England do in the Ashes, the easier will be the clues.
What is my second favourite Procol Harum track?

Call yourself a fan.... He sued Gary Brooker there a couple of years back saying he'd written the organ part for Whiter Shade of Pale. He lost. Anyway that's the only song of theirs I know. I'll let someone else guess first.AHB wrote:I have absolutely no idea, but he might well have done.djewesbury wrote:Did Matthew Fisher (my classmate's dad, whose recording studio we used to muck about in) play organ on this track?AHB wrote:Oh damn!

Does a yes/no question count as a guess if the answer is 'no idea'?
That's OK. Just read the Wiki page and start at the beginning - it shouldn't take too long to get the right answer.DRT wrote:Now seems like a good time to declare that I have never heard of Procol Harum.
Right era, (the Matthew Fisher era) but not that track."She Wandered Through the Garden Fence"?
I knew Gary Brooker's brother and his niece. They had a lovely tortoise. So we have both sides of the legal dispute represented.djewesbury wrote:Call yourself a fan....
