Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 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.

BFTD Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Alan Coren could recite 534 verses from the Quran while juggling 3 baby corn on the cobs. His daughter, Victoria is currently up to 531 verses. I have an inexplicable urge to see Vicky Coren juggling corn. No, sorry, jiggling. My mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also room for the complete works of Shakespeare, and 5 of the 7 Harry Potter novels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim O'Grady Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 He said 5 Grimbo. I think you've had a stroke. That explains the porridge down 1 side of my pj's. I thought I'd been sick. That's cleared that up, not literally. Grimbo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The first 5, Grimbo. She is yet to discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince, and obviously doesn't know about the multiple deaths over the last 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Surely there's a bit more room post-pregnancy? We really need to bring David Mitchell into this via Twitter. I'm sure he'll be happy to contribute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that she nicked the name of Harry Potter from Shakespeare, 1 of his unpublished plays the framing of the shoe. The main character's brother was called Harold Portage, Jo just played around with the name as she stirred her tea in the cafe up town. You know the one near Greyfriars Boaby.

Fae_the_'briggs Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) In his latest memoirs Dick Van Dyke claims that he is not responsible for his dreadful cockney accent in Mary Poppins. When screen-tested the producers deemed his attempts at a cockney accent to be flawless but too authentic for the American market so they hired actor Ray Winstone to dub over his lines. Disc-jockey Johnny Walker is the heir to the Walkers Crisps empire. Briggso Edited September 27, 2015 by Fae_the_'briggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Briggsy is heir to great train robber (& guest vocalist on the Sex Pistols No One Is Innocent 7" single bside My Way by Sid Vicious) Ronnie Biggs's fortune of 3 million Brazilian peso's that equates to £18.26. When asked what he was going to do with his newly acquired wealth Briggso said "Blow it all on luxury goods & definitely not the local Eastern European prozzies at the back of the big flats".

Fae_the_'briggs Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 In a gesture to atone for their sins, an order of monks in South America spend two days every year living life backwards. They have to walk backwards for the whole day, eat supper in the morning and breakfast at night. The names of the days they hold this event are called yad samtsirhc and yad sremmusdim. Comedienne Jo Brand and "man of the people" Russell Brand are brother and sister. Jo has said in the past that they are very close and have a lot of things in common including their outspoken views on politics, religion, etc. The main thing that they have in common however is that neither of them are in the least bit funny. Politician, and John Major's former fukc-buddy Edwina Currie is heiress to the Curries lemonade empire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 In Bulgaria gay men are often prescripted "vagina scented candles" to try and covert them to straight This attempt at conversion was abandoned in 2011, due to the near bankrupting of the Bulgarian economy. This was due to the demand for free prescription 'vagina scented candles' rocketing as they were sold by gay men to the Bulgarian lesbian community to be used as pre-flavoured dildos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
