    Yes - the communities of Dull and Boring were twinned in 2012 - a year later they created the League of Extraordinary Communities and made Bland the first new member. Probably the only new member unless communities named Insipid, Dreary or Drab suddenly pop up...

    Back to you.

    Thanks Yorkie. On a similar theme...

    Give a defender a pen and he becomes a forward. How can this be?

    Cheers theo - one for you...

    There are but three common nouns in the English language that take the plural form 'en'.

    Children and oxen are two of them, what's the third?

    Any number of words which come from old German. Such as Eyen (2 eyes) which was used in older literature - also kneen. Brethren is still used, so I'll go with that.

    No - that would mean a singular form of 'wom'.
