Blue rinses are often seen at the Queen's garden parties when the hoi polloi attend. What is rarely known is that this attempt to mix in with the 'knobs' is achieved by them sticking their heads down the lavatory for too long.
Next: Toilet duck |
|
By:
The Eurasian toilet duck was recently added to the IUCN "Red List" of endangered species. This shy aquatic creature, a native of the marshy shoreline of the Caspian Sea, has been hunted to near extinction by Azerbaijani hunters, who are paid handsomely by S. C. Johnson and company for the ducks. The prized pine-scented, antibacterial fluid is secreted from glands behind the bird's ear, and can only be collected within 45 minutes of slaughter.
Next: the Caspian Sea. |
|
By:
The mean level of the Capian Sea rose and astonishing 35 metres during the 20th century, due solely to the accumulation of tens of thousands of broken ekranoplans littering its bed.
Next: Kazakhstan Peoples Unity Day |
|
By:
Kazakhstan Peoples Unity Day is the equivalent of St George's Day when floods of Kazakhs come out onto the streets to revel in their cultural identity. Half of the population traditionally dress themselves to look like the country's main icon - Borat and competitions are held to find the best lookalike, while the other half, the men, celebrate other the other great national celebrities, the country's top international cyclists and inject themselves with each others blood to express their unity

next : anything yellow |
|
By:
Eskimo tradition has been passed on from father to son for centuries...one of the oldest basic rules is to avoid 'anything yellow'
next: Igloos |
|
By:
Ig loos are a constant problem for the Roadies who attend to James Newell Osterburg when on tour. Not least because he insists on impersonators of The Three Stooges to supply toilet rolls, soap and lolipops whenever he uses one. What he does with them remains one of the dark secrets of the music industry.
Next: A real wild child |
|
By:
When the plane which was carrying a young IGGY POP crashed into dense jungle in The Congo in early 73' IGGY, the sole survivor of the crash, was rescued and brought up by a troupe of wild apes.
Next; Tarzan |
|
By:
"Tarzan of the Grapes" is the only punch line in the world to whicjh there is no known joke.
Next: Keeping one foot on the floor. |
|
By:
Keeping one foot on the floor was required by the Hays Code of public decency in old films. If a man was shown kissing a woman on a bed, he had to keep one foot on the floor at all times. This rule was adapted from Section 2 Rule 6 of the Laws of Snooker, which stipulates a similar requirement, and was introduced after the controversial 1928 film "Rocket Ronnie Does Michaela Tabb Up The Baulk End".

It is a true and amazing fact that in 1932 one William Hardy completed a circuit of every pub in the postal district of E16.
What made the circuit so exceptional was not that he consumed a pint in every pub but his mode of entry which was to smash a hole big enough to walk through with his fore head, even when confronted with a brick wall. To his friends he became known as Billy Hards and hence Billiards. Bar Billiards is of course a pub game often played by men who like to think they are hard, but, are of course big sissies compared to the one and only. Billiards. Next: Bar Maids |
|
By:
Bar maids lead surprisingly sad and lonely existances, which is why they are only too happy to let fat, bald, married men twice their age make lewd suggestions and stare down their cleavages all evening. Or is that Poker Q? - I'm afraid I'm rather losing it these days...
Next: Pineapple chunks. |
|
By:
Pineapple Chunks is the proposed name of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's second daughter...due in 2008 to coincide with Coldplays next album of the same name
next: Embarrassing Oscar Speeches |
|
By:
It's quite easy to embarrass anyone called Oscar Speeches, simply by pointing at their birth certificate and laughing at their patently absurd name.
Next: Pilsner. |

By:
It is a true and amazing fact that Richard Nixon used to enjoy getting very drunk by consuming Pilsner. The remarkable thing though was his chosen mode of delivery which was 30cc injected directly into his blood steam every night before bed.
Next: needles and pins |
|
By:
Its a fact that Needles and Pins was top of the pops for 438 weeks in the early 1960's when a 45 as they were known cost a farthing and there were 37 record shops in every small town. A record had to sell a million copies to get in the top ten in those days and it was estimated that 93% of the population bought at least 3 records a week.
Next: Lion Bars |
|
By:
'Lion' Bars (not to be confused with the much less salubrious 'Lie On Bars') are a cult concept in New York at them moment. In an attempt to replicate the feeling of being inside the African jungle patrons are requested to indulge in banana beer and millet while being served by waiters dressed in a similar way to Rory from the Animal Crackers show. The idea is expected to hit the UK in a big way soon with all Wetherspoons establishments reported to be changing their marketing style to follow suit
next: Happy Hours |
|
By:

|
|
By:
It is a true and amazing fact that while being killed and eaten by a lion is a danger for many an African Tribes person or zoo keeper, residents of the United Kingdom are far more likely to fall over and kill them selves by cracking open thier heads on a urinal at a Weatherspoons pub. Happy hour is the most likely time for this misadventure to occur.

immaculate conception

Conception is a messy process and unlikely to be immaculate. One or other party is always likely to end up sleeping on a rapidly cooling map of Africa.

The priceless relic, the 'Map of Africa' (believed to have been made by Prince Henry the Navigator) was officially meant to have been lost during the fire at Windsor Castle although there have been rumours since that Prince Philip put a match to it in fit of pique when he was unable to find Bongo Bongo Land on it while showing it to visiting dignitaries

"Um bongo" was the standard reply of Steve Peregrine Took when he was asked what he thought of Mickey Finn replacing him in T.Rex. Unsurprisingly, Mickey Finn also gave the same reply - to everything ever asked of him.
Next: Far out man |
|
By:
'Far Out Man' was first coined as a phrase by Bob Wellings on the Nationwide programme in the 1970s to describe a stereotypical character in society around that time . A typical Far Out Man (no relation to Essex man or Piltdown Man...the latter somewhat contentiously) could be spotted wearing flowery clothes and practising free love whilst not playing his sitar...he would also drive a carbon copy of Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine.
The phrase was frequently repeated by Sandy in Crossroads firmly encrusting it into the public ether and the rest is history next: Crossroads Motel |
