Herman Hessian Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 'Eintracht' in the name 'Eintracht Frankfurt' translates as "one path", alluding to the concept of the one true path to real enlightenment, and references the little-known Buddhist roots of the club; their first playing kit, dating back to 1899, was entirely orange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hitler once tried to get Melchester Rovers to tour Germany as a morale booster for his tank corps who were struggling with the shortage of sausages during the war. His number two was scared to disappoint him but came up with a cunning plan and informed him that several members of the Rovers team were homosexual and therefore should be kept way from the tank crew. It was never confirmed if this was indeed true or which team members were gay. Roy did however marry Penny Laine the club secretary and had 3 children who resembled him so it couldn't possibly have been him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 James Herriot's books about his life as a country vet in 1930's Yorkshire, were originally considerably longer. He edited them down at the suggestion of his literary agent who felt the references to experimental use of dangerous narcotics, auto-erotic asphyxiation and flower arranging were incongruous with the whimsical nature of the other tales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because all armies make sure to only put the gay soldiers in their tanks. Gay men work better together for long periods in dark, enclosed spaces than straight men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Prince Philip is the only man in the country whom London taxi drivers are legally allowed to refuse to pick up. This has been the case since 1987 when his views became too extreme even for them and an argument with one driver developed into a fist fight. Philip's black eye was reported in the Press as a polo injury while the driver spent two nights in the Tower of London before being released without charge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Jellied eels were the favourite dish at Wimbledon until in the mid 1960's the Queen of England decreed that they were unfit for royal consumption and the tennis watching elites quit consumpting in solidarity. Strawberry merchants moved in fast, added cream and Pimms and a new tradition was born. Excess jellied eels were shipped to feed starving peasants in Bermondsey and Canning Town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
