Paul Daniels never actually sawed Debbie Mcghee in half.

Pity.


Mel Blanc, who was the voice of Bugs Bunny, was allergic to carrots.

I think this one is a myth - he used to crunch on carrots to get the sound effect, and them spat them out... but only because eating it would leave a long gap in the dialogue.

Oh-kay, prepared to stand corrected John K.


For once, my BS button wasn't switched on and I thought I was *reliably* informed on this by a local historian (and not a bloke dahn the pub either).

Naff is an unpleasant naval term for a woman who is considered perhaps 'uncomely'.

It's an acronym for either 'Not Available For Fun' or 'Nasty As F*ck' with a slilent not to say meaningless 'F' thrown in.


It really all depends which bloke down the pub you choose to believe.

    • Europe, very much so, the whole of August is a write-off, if you want anything delivered from there, forget it, but there's no similar summer shutdown period in the UK as such, just people taking hols while kids off school etc. The nearest the UK construction sector has to a proper shut down is the Christmas/New Year period when, depending on when the Bank Holidays fall, there's an approx 10-14 day unofficial shutdown between Christmas and New Year... 
    • There's planning permission for 2 houses.  Southwark planning site is too slow today to use, but found this link from Savills to auction the site: https://auctions.savills.co.uk/auctions/19--26-november-2024-158/3335-hansler-road-east-dulwich-london-se22-9dj-13236   Edited to add that the inclusion of lower ground floor in the planning application description indicates that basements will be dug.  Looks like Fellbrigg/Hansler is up for some heavy construction traffic next year.
    • He looks like the human version of the 😡 emoji. I'm sure he's lovely in real life (whoever he is).
    • Absolutely, Insuflo I very much doubt that anyone other than football fans would have heard of Dyche, much less his views on false number nines, mobile centre halves  dropping into midfield or diamond formations. But all middle-aged, portly, bald, gruffly spoken football fans from north of the capital who eschew fancy Dan tactics for the traditional, English merits of 4-4-2 shall be deemed knuckle-dragging Neanderthals by the Wokerati and the Metropolitan Elite. They care not what his views are, only that he looks like the sort of person who may have them. It's political correctness gone mad. But they, unlike Dyche, won't have a pub named after them.
