    Sorry penny just dropped you're talking about the unfunny duo Roy & HG. They should take a good look at themselves rather than constantly drivelling about everyone elses short comings.

    Lithgow?

    ...unfunny duo...
    Surely that's a matter of opinion.

    The Shamrocks?

    I think Shamrocks is the name of the team Roy Slaven was captain of in Lithgow....

    Roy & HG's sense of humour is not appreciated by many people outside Australia. Oddly enough, the yanks seemed to like them. They did a show in the UK which bombed - that doesn't surprise me at all, not really your lot's cup of tea...

    The Lithgow Shamrocks it is.

    Humour is subjective but I don't know how you can call Roy & HG unfunny

    True, I reckon the yanks thought they liked it but in reality were completely unaware that they having the p@#s taken out of them. I think an English version would go down well in the UK, it's the parochialism that's hard for the English to swallow being very parochial themselves.

    Wow that's a bit deep for a quiz forum......

    OK, What is the worlds most popular first name?
