On this afternoons Countdown the (brilliant) 11 year old on there came up with a 9 letter word - THIRTEENS .............. can anyone give me a sentence using THIRTEENS as I really can't see when it would be used...... dad suggested
....... the were grouped together in thirteens ......
but surely the correct phrase here would be
....... put into groups of thirteen?

They certianly are chrisrob ... and what a great answer ... why didn't I think of that !!!!! ;-)
|
|
|
Sixes and sevens make thirteens (Ha, ha, just joking)
|
|
|
2 thirteens = 26 which, coincidentally is the IQ of the questioner. Purlease, don't go on countdown yourself, 0 would be very embarrassing. Did you not think for a nano second before posting this?
|
|
|
Ouch!
But yes, thirteens is the plural of thirteen.
|
|
|
Well done Geezer, same answer as chrisrob only 20 hours later, and you call the questioner slow.
|
|
|
who asked you?Surely you've got some anti British propaganda to be getting on with.

Thanks for the insult R1Geezer .... how delightful of you and just I did think for a nano second you sarcastic little man, but couldn't think of an answer hence I posted a question on answerbank ..... which funnily enough is a place for gaining answers, not cheap insults from the likes of you ......... there really is no need for your attitude ...........
Thanks to everyone sensible who understands to the purpose of this site and tried to help.............. and finally, a last word to R1Geezer ........ traditionally the work please is not spelt PURLEASE .... and you questioned my IQ ..... which incidentally is 157!
|
|
|
And, echokilo, your IQ is 1 5 7 which digits add up to thirteen. Spooky!
|
|
|
I don't know what R1Geeser's problem is. Is it worth him/her getting stroppy about something as trivial as this? It's only a bit of lighthearted exchanges. echokilo has every right to put whatever he likes on here and does not deserve being insulted like he was. I hope echokilo is not put off by pig ignorant replies in the future.

????? No one is arguing ... just sharing the option that R1Geezer needs to keep his insults to himself!!
|
|
|
157?? right oh! So with that gargantuan IQ you didn't even think that the Oxford concise might be right. Which IQ test did you do? Purlease!

R I Geezer, do you enjoy getting angry? Go and have a lie down :) Do gratuitous insults make you feel better?Come on, you can't surely have that much of an inferiority complex, can you , as to call someone an idiot for having some temporary blind spot ? Tell us that you've never done anything like that and nobody will believe you. You sound quite young to me.Older people have a little more restraint and understanding .

thank you sigmund bleeding freud!

Point proved, methinks :)

R1Geezer needs to be banned from here and sent to anger management ... asap!!!!!!!!!
|
|
|
It is obvious Geezer wants a reaction from people so he can be abusive. Best thing to do is completely ignore him. Nothing would anger him more. So, next time he answers anything, just COMPLETELY IGNORE IT, and just put something else on about the original question, i.e. Thirteens. DON'T rise to his bait.
