"High Speed Ferries"

During recent years, the Danish authorities have received a number of complaints about inconveniences from high-speed ferries. These complaints have included questions about noise, energy consumption, waves, speed, and water jets and their influence on the surrounding environment, as the protection of nature including animal and plant life, sailing and bathing safety, erosion of the coastline and the safety of dikes

Conclusionl : Lesbians are overly mollycoddled in Denmark imo

No, I would not name my daughter Molly. Unless my surname was Coddle.

That would be funny that would. And character building for the girl.

Coffee Table was the name chosen by Ms Take to give to her child before she married Mr Annan. He then made a small compromise by allowing her to pick Koffi as the boy's Christian name.

Next "Accents"
By:
george the fish
When: 29 Jul 05 11:16
Accents are something we don't really have in the UK.

In France they have the accute, which is like a forward slash and can appear above the letter "e". Grave is like a backward slash that can also appear above the letter "e". A cidilla (sp?) looks like a little number 5 and can be attached to the bottom of the letter "c". A circumflex looks like a Chinese hat.

Other languages have accents too, but I only studied French.

When: 29 Jul 05 11:24
In a recent report compiled by Interpol, the study was found to be the most common room in the house where murders were committed more often than not with lead piping. As a result it is general police advice now for buliders to omit studies from their buliding plans and replace them with an extra bathroom.

There are only 2 'Sunshine states' in the whole of the world. Everyone knows 1 - Texas in the U S of A - but few know that the other is Old South Wales in Australia. In fact, few people actually realise Old South Wales exists, as it is at the bottom of the Ausralian Ocean, just next to another state 'Kingsland'. It's not very sunny any more.

The Man from Atlantis was played by Duffy off of Casualty. When she was killed off in 1995 rating plummeted and they had to re-introduce her character with a storyline that supposed the intervening had just been an hallucination by that ambulance driver who's a bit...you know.

Apprentice ships are of varying sizes and are manned solely by failed jockeys who have failed to ride more than 10 winners. Often mistaken by passing cruise liners for ships full of children they lull their rich inhabitants into a false sense of security before embarking on wanton sprees of rape and pillage. They are a modern version of Pirates of the Caribbean

Captain Pugwash was often saved from the unscrupulous Cut-Throat Jake by cabin boy Tom, whist the Captain looked on from the sidelines uttering such expressions as : "Plundering porpoises!; Jumping jellyfish! and Harrowing hurricanes!" Sadly, children today don't know what they are missing.

When: 31 Jul 05 09:09
The Saga of Noggin the Nog is supposedly the next major project of wacky film director Tim Burton. Early gossip suggests that quite unsurprisingly Johnny Depp is already earmarked for the plum role of Noggin and has been watching The Vikings every day in the last month to base his character on Tony Curtis's excellent portrayal of a Norse warrior. The role of Nogbad is being fiercely contested with Alan Rickman and Ray Liotta being early favourites for the villains role although Burton is believed to be favouring reanimating the corpse of Basil Rathbone to fill the part

When using a sauna in Sweden, it is essential to greet any person already in the sauna when you enter with the traditional greeting "Nys t¿kl, m¿!". This translates as "May the fires of Valhalla warm the souls of your ancestors for eternity" and is guaranteed to get things off to a friendly start.

By:

When: 31 Jul 05 20:26
Forecasting weather is a term uncommonly first used by budding golfers who had taken up the game when their previous first love had been angling. When teeing off, they would cry :
"Fore..... Casting.....Weather!", as an alert to other fishermen on the course, that it might be a good time for those who had nearly finished their round to go and check their lines, as the weather to the riverbank looked promising. This original meaning of the phrase has now become lost, only the 'fore' warning remains of it.

Show jumping was the original name for tying an elastic rope round your waist and leaping off a bridge. The name then had to be changed when some horsy types objected claiming they used the term first for certain equestrian activities..

By:
Tommy Toes
When: 01 Aug 05 16:35
Horsey, types !! Was a long forgotten headline from the Sun newspaper, some years ago. They began as they were to continue, by getting all the relevant facts incorrect. The horse in the news was the famous Mr Ed, not 'Horsey', and he could not type at all. Well, not unless he'd had his hooves pedicured.

Talking Horses: Encouraged by the success of Talking Heads this late 70s New York art-funk combo tried to prove four hooves and no fingers was no bar to inventive bass patterns. It was.

Despite the lead singer's impressive ability to tap out their first album title "77", the second LP "More Songs About Sleeping And Food" was a flop.

Cycle Killer was the song written by David Byrne following a very nasty encounter with a cyclist when he had been strolling through the countryside one day in an oblivious manner. The incident so upset him, that, as his wrath grew, the song became entitled; Psycho Killer.

Fuzzy Felts are one way to desribe the hat's of a famous british comedian. The hat's he wore were made of red felt with a tassle on the top and the wearing of these fezzes certainly made his brain very fuzzy.

Next: Was Tommy Cooper 'The Greatest'?

"Was Tommy Cooper...."The Greatest"

One may well consider that Mr T Cooper was a very good comedian....but for a true Champion one has to go back many years.....back to 1432 in fact....That was the time when Thomas The Cooper showed the Medieval World his prowess by producing 100 perfectly formed barrels before an invited audience of the most noteworthy elite of the time.....he trounced the opposition soundly...the actual record of the event reads :

Thomas The Cooper (England) 100 barrels flawlessly produced in 3 hours.
Louis The Cooper (France) 52 barrels...(18 discounted due to imperfections) in 4 hours.
David The Cooper (Wales) 47 barrels produced in 4 hours.
Shamus The Cooper (Ireland) 35 barrels produced in 4 hours.

As you can see...Thomas was indeed a Champion...he continued his reign until he sadly passed away in 1465 from chronic dysentry.
