It’s not like it would be the first time that we’d hired an ex-Chelsea manager.

There’s a man here calling himself Ogles who says he’s a dominant predator.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

So a new year means a new (well, old) calendar from a repeating year. This year’s is a Trivial Pursuit calendar from 1987.

The question from 1 Jan 1987: What country is saddled with the 10 coldest major cities?
