Intramural football
is there an intramural football or co-ed football leagues in North America? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.16.88 (talk) 05:17, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, for flag and touch football. -- k a i n a w &trade; 15:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * For those of us who don't live in the US, what is Intramural football? We don't seem to have an article about it. TheRetroGuy (talk) 15:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * "intramural" means "local". -- k a i n a w &trade; 15:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Cheers for that. TheRetroGuy (talk) 16:30, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * "intramural" literally means "within the walls", but in this case means "taking place within a single educational institution." Contrast with sports leagues where one school plays another. SemanticMantis (talk) 15:39, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * @TheRetroGuy: See Intramural sports. For the OP: By definition intramural sports are confined to a limited geographic area (read: not national), but there ARE some organisations which facilitate national registration and tournaments. They aren't as official as the NFL and CFL are for professional football but as a start here are some links: For the US & . For Canada there doesn't seem to be a national tournament and flag football associations are broken down by province, this might be a good place to start though . i.m.canadian (talk) 19:44, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I've learnt something new today so thanks for that. TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I'll flag up this message at Talk:Workington Town - I don't know what criteria there are among the RL editing community for adding information like this to lists, and people there should be able to advise further. There are many online references to your injury (such as  and, but I haven't found any to being presented with an international cap.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:25, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Am I Forgiven? by Rumer
Does anyone know if Rumer's song Am I Forgiven? has been released as a single? It's played rather a lot on Smooth Radio which leads me to think it might have been, but I couldn't find a definitive answer when I Googled for it. Also looked at this week's charts, but couldn't see it. If it has been released then I'll update her article with the information. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Background hosts of Dale's Supermarket Sweep
On Dale's Supermarket Sweep about ten years ago there were two women who used to alternately present the viewers quiz before it was taken over by Bobby Bragg. One was blond and the other black or Asian and they had unusual sounding names. Does anyone remember who they are. It's bugged me for years. 86.174.95.191 (talk) 21:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * If you mean the checkout girls, the only ones I can find listed on the series imdb entry are from the 2007 series. On that occasion they were Michelle Killick, Julie Stichbury and Vikki Thomas. Winton and Bragg are the only credits listed for the earlier series. TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:16, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
