A good site here for urban legends.


I remember talk of a curse after the deaths of several cast members from Poltergiest.


Also, the claim that you see the death of Brendan Lee in The Crow was big at the time.


The Jamie Lee Curtis one is quite interesting.

I love that so incorrect quote it was in Fact MISTER MATES and TOM the Cabin Boy - (not Roger the cabin boy) Pirate Barnabus and Willy (closest to a rude name)


However I have heard that PUGWASH is Australian for a face full of C** after oral sex




I did also hear a new Urban Myth that Gordon Brown will step down after the summer break.... or is that wishful thinking :-S

The really funny thing is that 'tomming' (as it has become known in recent years) is far ruder than 'rogering' ever was.

What's 'tomming' then eh, *Bob*?


My favourite urban myth is that which concerns Joanna Lumley's excessive use of cocaine in the 1960's. Apparently, her preferred method of consumption was to have the substance poked it up her bottom by her lover.


As a result her entire back passage collapsed (think Daniella Westbrook's septum) and she now has a plastic anus.


I like to think that there's at least a nugget of truth in there.

OMG - I have innocently re-joined this thread and what have I stumbled into. LPECK - the PUGWASH definition is more information than ANYBODY ever needed. I just spat my Merlot into my keyboard and it's going to be a hell of a job to get rid of the smell. I'm going to Green & Blue to meet a friend now. When I return I shall expect a nice clean thread.

I ... erm ... guess I am glad no one suggested that I should wash my mouth out after my earlier comment as it would more then likely be taken the wrong way by someone or other ....


But Miss Flounce I do herewith beg your forgiveness and hope the Merlot doesn't leave a stain like the one on poor old Monica's dress....

Sniper at canary wharf on 07/07 was a good one.


There's also muppet at work who beleives that drinking a cold drink after eating makes all the food solidify in your stomach and thus cannot be digested. Dunno where he thinks it all goes then.


I'm always the boring one sending out links to snopes at work due to the various urban myth related emails.

I remember Meatloaf saying how he used to get bored in interviews and make things up to see how the story grew from paper to paper etc, the best one was that he was doing a tour with Pavarotti (which was true) but the Paverotti stopped talking to him because Meatloaf used his hairdryer without asking him.


The whole drugged by woman in bar waking up in bath of ice in morning to find one of your kidneys gone is one I've heard many times

Anyone been told the story about the snake owner whose friendly python went off his food. They then woke up to find the snake stretched out next to them on the bed - they mentioned it to the vet who told them they must get rid of it straight away as it was sizing them up for dinner . . . must have had that one at least 3 times now

Nope, I only just saw this, but made me snigger too.

Re The Pugwash one. Whilst it is true that the crew member was Master Mates, there is more than one episode, where the typically nasally sounding cartoon captain refers to him and it sounds, due to the nasally voice, like Master Bates (try it yourself; pretend you have man flu, are phoning in sick to work with a fake blocked up nose and say Master Mates!)

Definite myth it would seem.


Sounds a little far-fetched anyway doesn't it. Why would the organ harvesters let you live. Much easier just to kill you and harvest all your organs I would think. Perhaps a liver with a nice bottle of chianti and some fava beans....mmmm

    • Hey Huggers, please can you share the fabulous chiropodist's details?  Huggers, I think podiatrists are the same as chiropodists, pretty much. Also, why aren't you sticking with the chiropractor, out of interest, if they seem to think the problem is more posture-related, rather than solely (sorry) down to the feet? 
    • Thankyou! Originally I had a private referral ( husband had health insurance at time) and so worn insoles for years but I still wear my shoes down in one place at a ridiculous rate! A fab chiropodist agrees with posture is everything stance. Experienced cobbler says some it ain’t right and I’m over corrected. 
    • I've booked a session with Elmcourt Clinic in West Norwood, recommended by our daughter. A two-week wait for the slot, though.  https://www.elmcourtclinic.co.uk/
    • I don't know everyone else's foot problems are, but I have classic and apparently quite bad deformity - bunions, pain etc. I went to the Woodware Rd practice a few years ago and got orthotics for the not inconsiderable price of £600.  The team there seems very nice but, now that I am experiencing a new type of foot pain, I'm wondering if I've been doing it all wrong these years with supportive trainers and insoles. I'm beginning to realise (seems obvious now) that, if I want to cure my foot pain, maybe I need to change the way I walk, and my posture etc. And also, maybe I need to try barefoot shoes, to build muscle where there's been no need prior, because shoes have been doing all the supporting.  I've been educating myself with Helen Hall and Lawrence van Lingen and addressing my gait seems like a more organic way to solve the problem. Podiatrists will convince you that orthotics and / or surgery are the only way to go, but look up reddit forums and you'll find countless people saying they 'cured' their bunions with barefoot walking / shoes / and exercises.
