Random questions:

I was watching Sherlock yesterday and someone referred to someone else as going to court for what sounded like an azbo. Anyone have a clue what that means?

Is a registrar in a UK hospital the same as a resident in an American hospital?

Is a motorbike the same as a motorcycle? I thought a motorcyle in the UK was one of those moped things?

Surely nobody can be that stupid, even on a bad day.

I really don't understand, can anyone help me?

Presumably you know what google is, or is that on your never ending list of things you can't comprehend?

In the time you've taken to post here (twice), you could have answered my questions. Obviously you don't know the answers.
