GordonD Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Soft toilet paper was invented in 1886 by an Andrew Rex from Kelty. (His brother Dugald invented the condom.) Before then they had to use that hard scratchy stuff. Unfortunately the roll he presented to Queen Victoria proved to be faulty, as the first time she used it her finger went through. As a result Rex became the last man in Britain to be executed on the direct orders of the monarch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Chris Law, the SNP MP, actually wanted to be a lawyer when he was younger. However, being very tall it wasn't long before a career in basketball beckoned. He was offered a trial with top US basketball team the New York Knicks but a fear of flying put paid to that dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
