Spill the beans then.
I had nothing other than the assumption that either the start or end was an anagram, but I couldn't get anything out of either of them so perhaps that was a decoy?

I tried them as well, and got nowhere...

Either I have never heard of that word, or I did and I had forgotten it as quickly as I will forget it now.
Can you explain how it relates to "a team"?

Probably Footie related - aren't there 22 players on the field at any one time?

Only if they behave themselves.
Yeah, I guess 11-aside footy is a fair punt.

Very weird, I am just reading a Sci-Fi novel where one alien race has 5 fingers on one hand and 6 on the other. Obviously they count in base 11.

Do any of you guys know if there has been a movie made of any Terry Pratchett book? Not an animated film a movie with real actors.
I believe that Edie Redmayne would be great as Rincewind, and Harrison Ford would be a great Captain Vimes.

I've seen one of Going Postal (wasn't too bad - Charles Dance was appropriate as Lord Ventinari) - although technically it was a series, as there were two episodes.
And as Sander says, Good Omens was good (also a series)

Going Postal, Making Money and Unseen Academicals are probably my favorite DiscWorld books.
Found a version of Going Postal but it was in German, and I am mono-lingual 
Thanks for the reply.

The three movies are well worth watching many times. We're always picking up new details such as in one of the movies there is a leather jacket with "Born To Rune" which references one of the other books. There's a lot of details in a lot of the scenes, my family & I enjoy trying to spot them.
Good Omens while not a Discworld novel is still really good, although I'd recommend reading the book first.

There are apparently new "definitive" screen adaptations in the works:
Narrativia, Motive Pictures and Endeavor Content announce a brand new partnership which will bring this treasured world to screens in a series of prestige adaptations that remain absolutely faithful to Sir Terry Pratchett’s original, unique genius.

A friend's mom once forgot to get us from acting lessons 
We were like 7 and 8 in a strange city at a strange school (the high school I'd later attent, and that friend too, but we didn't know that then and by that time we also weren't friends anymore although we became acquainted again through shared new friends  ).
Anyway, my friend and another friend kind of lost it there and started crying.
I was a year older and tried to stay strong.
This was before mobile phones were a thing.
Ultimately, she was an hour late.
Apparently she thought about us when the whole family sat down at the dinner table and they were missing someone 
Bottom line, if that ever happened to you, at that age, your joke brings back trauma rather than laughter

My friend’s mom forgot to bring him home on a 3 hour car trip. That, coupled with some other incidents, lead to her loosing custody of my friend.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Didn't they make a movie about that?
