Wife half-watching the recent Lance Armstrong interview on TV and she asks me "Who did he play for?".
Pffft.When he was all over the TV last year, my mother in law commented on how young he looked considering it was years since he went to the moon. I asked her if he went on his bike, but apparently no, he went in a rocket. I can't help but take the piss out of her & since my father in law died I see it as my duty.
Watching Athletico Madrid on telly, they're sponsored by "Azerbaijan....Land of Fire."
Personally, not being aware that it had lots of volcanoes etc, I said "I wonder why they call Azerbaijan, "land of fire?"
And the reply...."Maybe they can't afford decent emergency services."
To be fair, she has this knack of saying things really seriously when she's joking, so I suspect she was having a laugh. Can't be sure though.

Pretty sure Azerbaijan has some sort of massive hole that used to be a coal mine or something that's been on fire for eternity

You thought you were joking but you were right! (Not the Torquay bit). Going back 500 years or so us Brits thought they came from Turkey, hence the name. They did, but originated in the US
What ? Before America was discovered? What did the Turkish call them ?
