Wait, I thought he got a free biscuit from your wife every time he fu...

Shit, forgot I wasn't to mention that :unsure:

What with all these fish suppers (salt n sauce extra) & the 2 packets of biscuits each week off Philpsy you'd have thought I'd be a right fat c**t.

The late Nelson Mandela was a huge fan of mid eighties synth-pop band Bronski Beat, crediting their music with helping him through his darkest hours on Robben Island.

However, he was less impressed with Jimmy Somerville's next band The Communards, who he dismissed as 'too derivative and over produced'.

The 14th Dalai Lama (Lambo) beat Jockey Wilson in a best of 17 darts comp', back in the early '70's but managed to keep it out of the papers because he dropped a couple of acid tabs in the Sun reporters lager & took snaps of the journo tripping off his tits with a couple of local Fife ladies in various states of undress & threaten to publish them if news of his win over Jockey got out, what a lovely fellah eh? Gracious in victory & not wanting to damage Jockey's reputation.

Lambo was heard singing rude songs in the pub car park after the event but no known recordings have turned up yet to corroborate this.

Following the Hindenburg disaster in 1937, the wholesale price for Hydrogen fell so far that distributors across mainland Europe were forced to give it away on street corners.

Competitions were held in German cities to reward the most innovative use of Hydrogen.

Winners in 1939 included Horst Gruber who inflated his Alsatian dog allowing him to use it as an umbrella when he took it for "walkies" in the rain.

In 1941, butcher and inventor Fritz Weiner successfully inflated an imported Forfar Bridie which he then proceeded to sell with the tag line "pie in the sky" (it loses a lot in translation)

Noel Edmonds was the BBC's third choice to present the first ever National Lottery draw. They initially wanted Bill Oddie but his outrageous wage demands and refusal to wear a suit quickly led them to rethink. They then approached walrus-like 70's counterculture icon and folk rock legend David Crosby, who was very keen until he was told he would not be able to bring his beloved pet ocelot Lillian into the UK.

Edmonds was available at short notice, his fee was reasonable and his only demands were for a small urn filled with powdered chinchilla bones and a framed picture of Sir Clive Sinclair. He thus went into the record books.

Jackie Collins' unfinished novel will now be completed by a ghost writer.

A printing firm had to re-print 10,000 copies of the cd cover for Dido's latest release entitled "DIDO! I CAN'T GET ENOUGH" after a worker with a grudge inserted the letter "L" into the middle of the singer's name. Five thousand of the cd's had already been released before the error was noticed. There were no complaints received.

Copies of Kate Humble's illustrated book, "My Family Of Rabbits And The Pleasure They Give" had to be taken off

the Animals and Pet section shelves in Libraries and Bookshops and moved to the Adult Literature section following a mix-up regarding the book's content.

Frank Sinatra was the Technical Director on The Godfather serious of films although his name did not appear in the list of credits. The Producers offered him $20,000 for his work but the singer demanded a 2.5% share of the films' profits, an offer the film makers could not refuse.

Up until the internet became widely available, aberdonian men told their wives that a Dutch oven was a way of warming the bed and keeping the electricity bill down.

Since the internet became available, divorce rates in Aberdeen have sky rocketed due to years and years of this lie.

National treasure David Jacobs of OF&H fame & A touch of Frost was in talks to do a sequel called A pinch of Salt but he felt the plot to kill off the character Frost & replace him by his twin brother who was given away for adoption at birth & brought up by the Salt family would be too much for the gullible British viewers to cope with so the series was scrapped.
