Up to 1000 obviously.

Up to 1000 would be a maximum of 999 and the first number over 1000 is 1001 therefore up to over 1000 is a maximum of 1000 (or if they're being inclusive it would be 1000 and 1001) Flawed Friday early morning logic failure caveat applies.

Swarm is possibly the wrong term, school is more appropriate, but have you never seen film of hammerhead sharks schools over sea-mounts? Hundreds of them possibly several thousand, a spectacular sight, and swarm might even be more appropriate in these cases anyway.

Yes it was the term I was taking issue with. I know they hang about in big mobs. No wait, that's kangaroos.

Shiver.

A shiver of sharks.

Sharks - Shiver, Shoal or School

A Shiver of Sharks sounds a little ominous, I think it would win if pitted against a quiver killer

It's like those signs in shops that say "up to 50% discount". Isn't that still true if a shop has no discounting at all? Or does it mean at least one thing has to be 50% off? It's so confusing.

The narrator on Masterchef the other day claimed that the Andes rose to 14,000m above sea level. If Edmund Hillary was still alive, I reckon he'd be pretty peeved with that.

Some people are morons.

I've been disappointed by the absence of a Masterchef thread this year. Every year I promise we're going to put a giant bingo card on the wall, with things like 'SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER from a foot away', "lahvely playdafood", use of samfire (seriously, only seems to exist on Masterchef) and so on. Next year.

Eyup, I picked samphire on the beach in Lincolnshire with my uncle when I were a lad. I didn't like it much.
