The Stones originally wrote 'Route 66' about England's path to the 1966 WC Final, but were forced to change the lyrics as it was decided it wouldn't have sold in the American market.

Bryan Adams "Summer of 69" was also about England's World Cup win but being Canadian and only vaguely interested in football, he didn't bother to get his facts right.

Paul Hardcastle also tried this tack, and although he got the year right, due to his stutter, the song only got released as '19'.

In a bid to solve the evergrowing pothole crisis, Edinburgh city council are collecting dead pigeons which have been shot on the roof of the city chambers to fill the potholes in*


*I wouldn't put it past the council to try it.

and ipso facto 7.5% Twix/Kit Kat et al, 3.7% cucumber sandwich, 11.2% beer, 1.6% pish and 1% you don't want to know about. There might be a review of the pish/beer proportion.

I'm negotiable, this liquid is not set in stone.

Unless said participant(s) have been eating sweet corn then the urine concentrate needs to be >73.4%

Although one may expect sweetcorn to have some form of buoyancy effect, starch within the kernel skins breaks down into denser compounds during the human digestion process and hence still sinks at the 60% threshold, whilst sweetcorn straight from the tin will actually float.  Thanks for playing anyway.

Corn on the cob was primarily used as dildos by the Aztecs.  It was only after a hilarious and disgusting prank on the Spanish that it was eaten as a foodstuff, served coated in 'fanny batter'.
