Can you find this Burberry product online?

[1] I can't. I can't afford it either, but I'm curious. Thanks. Imagine Reason (talk) 01:42, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

There's plenty on Ebay. Try searching in the UK and you'll find all the women's Burberry raincoats you can shake an umbrella at! --TammyMoet (talk) 09:08, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

I couldn't find in on Burberry's site... Imagine Reason (talk) 13:00, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

It may not be part of their new season's collection but may well be available elsewhere - in fact it certainly is as the Google search I did earlier has found! --TammyMoet (talk) 14:07, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Do share. I'm not familiar with fashion, or clothing... Imagine Reason (talk) 02:11, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Most all purpose yards in (U.S.) football?

Can anyone tell me what player has the most all purpose yards in a single game of American football...specifically Division 1A or the NFL? Regular season...not pre-season or exhibition. I have a steak dinner riding on the assumption that it's a quarterback, but my buddy seems to think it is most likely a running back/kick returner. Quinn ^{❀ BEAUTIFUL DAY} 04:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Glyn Milburn (RB, NFL, 404 yds) and Emmett White (RB, NCAA 1A, 578 yds), I think, after some Google searches. AlexiusHoratius 04:18, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, if we're counting passing yards (which doesn't seem standard but does seem to be the OP's intention), then it probably is a QB. Norm Van Brocklin has the single game passing record with 554 yards in 1951[2]. I don't know if he gained yards any other way, but he's already ahead of Milburn. --209.253.116.50 (talk) 02:19, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I think you're right, if you count passing yardage (David Klingler threw for like 700 yards in one game) but the All-purpose yardage article makes it sound like neither the NFL nor the NCAA count passing yards, so like you said it depends a bit on the wording of the original bet. AlexiusHoratius 03:43, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

That's correct: All-purpose yardage is the sum of receiving + running + return yardage. If passing yards were counted, they would actually count twice (for the receiver and for the passer). Since the sum of all-purpose yards for the individual players should equal the total all-purpose yards for the team, passing yards don't count. --Jayron32 14:46, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Is Joanne Woodward related to Sir Thomas John Woodward (Tom Jones), OBE, of Wales?

Is Joanne Woodward related to Sir Thomas John Woodward (Tom Jones), OBE, of Wales? Having read the Wiki pages on both, I can find no reference to their shared surname or possible Welsh relations in Ms. Woodward's page. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.38.113.196 (talk) 12:28, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

I think this has to go under "doubtful if possible". How possible would it be that two people with such a relatively common name be related? Here is a link to a history of the name. This page tells us that the name is still more common in the UK than the US. --TammyMoet (talk) 14:03, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Frank Sinatra's song

Hello! What's the name of the Frank Sinatra song, played in the ending of this commercial? Doncsecz^talk 17:39, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

"...as if I had a sign telling me that this was love at last." Sounds familiar, but can't place it. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:16, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Here are the lyrics:

We may never pass this way again

never get another chance to meet

if we never chance to meet again

life would be forever incomplete

The name of the song is "It's All So New To Me". I have removed the balance of the song's lyrics above as a copyright violation.--71.183.174.150 (talk) 21:41, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
