Road to TISC Open 2018  We enter the week of the TISC Open 2018 Grand Final and things are getting exciting. We have assembled a suitably exciting cast list for our latest edition of our "Road to TISC" series. Today we explore the histories of the following nations: Lithuania, Austria, India, France, Moldova and Mexico. Beginning with Lithuania, who have a storied history in TISC... not only have they claimed victory at TISC Open 2015 in a dramatic last-vote shoot-out, but their chief-jury member, @Werloc, also participated in the contest with his own entry. At last year's TISC Open, they were dramatically kicked out of the Committee, having served on its board since the beginning, but they didn't leave quietly....they stirred up a thought-provoking cultural debate about tangerines in last year's TISC Open, so honestly, who can guess what the future has in store for this nation....

I honestly don't know a lot about it but I can tell you that squash is at a decent level here and we have our own GAA handball which is like squash and racquetball, but you use the hand as your racquet. So I guess there will be some cross-over between all of those. Thanks for the news, let me know how he gets on

My two favourites are "Fawlty Towers" and "Steptoe and Son" with honourable mentions for "Father Ted" and "One Foot in the Grave". And I love "Frasier" too

They may have moved town after some bad publicity.

Stay clear of Bates Motel.... I heard it got bad reviews of Trip Advisor.

Get out of it, that's way too much pressure to be putting on me
