Wrinkled Stockings was a pop song released in 1956 by little-known drag artist Nosher Beattie. Sadly it failed to compete with it's nearest rival in the charts - Blue Suede Shoes - and faded quickly into deserved obscurity.

After Pans People, Top of the Pops looked around for a new dance troop. They found one in six lovely girl dancers who called themselves Legs Eleven. Their name changed soon after when member Heather Mills-McCartney was replaced by someone nicer.

Claire Smith, prospective Tory candidate for the Essex town of Balding, realised that her election campaign had probably not been best served by her campaign slogan: Clare is Balding, when she woke one morning to find 30 tons of bat droppings dumped on her doorstep.
Next: Bela Lugosi |
|
By:
Bella Lugosi is an Italian pasta dish usually reserved for unwelcome visitors. As the name suggests, its made from deadly nightshade and left-over vegetables. Probably best avoided.

The inhabitants of an Italian village attempt to hide one million bottles of wine from the occupying Germans during World War II

In an effort to drum up tourists to their remote outpost in the Highlands, the residents of the villiage of Inverdaleonthebeeb have laid claim to having 'Scotland's Largest Villiage Idiot' in the shape of 6ft 11ins, 37 stone, Crazy Kenneth McStupid; and have put up a website to attract the masses to come and laugh at Ken.
Some of Ken's antics include spending all day sitting in the burn with his mouth open, hoping a salmon will jump in, tossing the telephone box, lifting his kilt to reveal his 'Loch Ness Monster', and supporting Cowdenbeath. Next: Wick Academy |

Making up an Amazing Fact about the 'actress,' 'comedienne,' 'presenter,' and now 'psychotherapist' (imagine having counselling with her, you'd be in a strait jacket by the end of the first session) would mean having a picutre of the loud mouthed harridan in my mind's eye for longer than I could stand.
Therefore I will concentrate on ruby wax which is produced by bees who've been on the red roses all day, and is used to polish post boxes. Next: The postman's day. |

The postmans day, or the doss houre as it's know in France, is the time allocated to postman in the UK to deliver 50% of the allocated post for their area that day, sort through a variety of birthday cards / xmas cards and spend at least 3 hours in the bookies, before heading off home at about 11am.
Next up.... 11am |
|
By:
The postman's day is probably the shortest of all working days known to man. It starts whenever he feels like it and consists of picking up a bunch of mail from the sorting office and chucking it in the nearest bin. A few minutes spent scattering elastic bands round random streets and that's his job done for the day. It's home for a nice cup of tea and then post on the Betfair forum as Redbag.

At school in the 60's break time was 11am. You'd wander out to the shops in summer and buy a Jubbly for 2d.
This was a massive triangular piece of ice infused with a bit of orange juice and 3lb of sugar.It would keep you busy gnawing for a good two hours, at the end of which time most of your teeth would have fallen out. They were lovely though. One lad by the name of Trotter, who was a bit strange used to get through about 10 a day, by which time he was so sugared up he just growled 'luvly jubbly' to himself over and over again.

Snowflakes are an icy form of water which can form layers of verying thickness on the ground when they fall from the sky. Many countries suffer problems with snow during their winter and these layers can go several feet deep, yet these people go about their daily lives as normal. However in the UK when an inch of snow falls (a rare occasion) the country grinds to a halt for some reason. Also yellow snow is to be avoided
next: Groundhog Day |

EVERY year my dad goes on about that. He hates it when it doesn't snow!

In the Salem witch trials in the 17th century, one renowned Witch: Cruella deSpellbound, cast a spell on the local parson as he tried to bless her coven, thus rendering her spellbinding useless.
He was hopeless and failed miserably, so she turned his nose into a ready basted chicken with the rear end attached to his face. Henceforth this part of a chicken became known as the parson's nose. Next: Witchfinder General. |
|
By:
The Witchfinder General was a notorious 16th century hospital. If you fell ill, youd likely find yourself chucked in a cart and taken up the Witchfinder General. There youd be attended to by apothecaries, who believed your every malady, including accidents around the home, had been caused by some sort of dabbling with the occult. Smallpox = caused by ye devil worship. Stillbirth = caused by ye devil worship. Hit on head whilst walking past church by falling gargoyle = caused by faulty masonry, and ye devil worship.
If you were unlucky enough to be cured, youd then be accused of having been saved by the devil, and be burned at the stake. Next: Casualty. |
