Highlighter pens are an invaluable tool for criminal barristers. When presented with a fat brief, ask your children to run through it with a selction of differently coloured pens, thus giving the impression of careful preparation. Tell your client to plead guilty and bingo, an untroubled weekend.

"Dr Livingstone, I presume", is a greeting used by groups of ramblers as they cross paths with other groups of ramblers at the intersection of a footpath. If two groups are going along the same track but in the opposite direction, and meet at a stile, the first ones to use this phrase have right of way.

When: 29 May 05 08:21
Jamie Oliver is not in fact his real name, but as a boy he practised a lot with food ideas in his fathers pub kitchen. He invented the Jammie Olive and had plans to sell them for 7 quid each in one of his restaurants when he grew up and became famous. Unfortunately the idea didnt catch on. His real name is Kerry Dover.

It is most amusing watching children get caught on door knobs, buta little pro-active participation is usually required. Give them a wedgie and hang them up by their pants; excellent for discipline.

Slightly less well known than the Cuban missile crisis is the Cuban heel crisis of 1967, when Lyndon B Johnson was caught wearing a pair of slim ankle boots with unnecessarily chunky soles. LBJ managed to explain away the potentially embarrassing situation by claiming that the offending footwear was a present from Harod Wilson.

Up until 1982 mexicans always wore flat caps, purchased from Dunn & Co, as One Man & His Dog was their top TV show, and everyone wanted to look like Phil Drabble. But when these gentlemans outfitters went out of business it was unfortunate that a suitable replacement could not be found. They needed a new icon, on which to model themselves, and who better than local carpet-fitter Speedy Gonzales, with his catchphrase "Underlay, Underlay".

Next:** Pile carpets.
By:
McNab
When: 30 May 05 06:57
** pile carpets were originally invented by Pope Pious the fourth in 1689 on a Sunday afternoon, because he had nothing else to do, and because he thought it was about time another use was found for those nasty plastic garden rakes, because he was fed up with the tines snapping off each time there was even a slight hint of a twig. In fact it is widely considered that he is also responsible for the invention of the fluff found under sofas in houses with wooden floors, but it is generally believed by the modern scientific historical world that this was an accident, and had nothing to do with the general belief of that period being Idle Hands Make Work For The Devil...IHMWFTD for short.

Its true you know.

Passports or Pas sports is a French abbreviation very similar in meaning to the English expression Not Sporting. Only this is a good thing in France.

DaiWoo is one of the lesser known oriental martial arts largely because althoguh easier to learn than most others it is of little practical use in a fight. Based on movements seen when two girls are fighting it is of some use when trying to fight ones way out of a paper bag.
Kendo Nagasaki was a Grand Master of Dai Woo but seldom used the techniques in the ring for fear of losing his aura of mystique

One of ITVs less celebrated plans for new reality tv shows was a Celebrity Spelling Bee. Dreamed up by Prince Edward's Ardent Productions, noted luminaries such as Abi Titmuss, Jeff Brazier, Lord Brocket and Bubble from Big Brother were due to compete in 'Celebrity Euonyms'. Early screen tests were disappointing with few of the contestants exhibiting any sense of phrontistery and the entire notion was regarded by ITV bosses as a floccinoccinihilipilification
