  4. Sylvia Syms, 89, starred in Ice Cold in Alex and dozens more British films.
  5. On all the tv news channels this morning, 'We're running out of tomato's, cucumbers and peppers, rush out and panic buy, we have photos of empty shelves, panic, panic, panic.' Went to Morrisons with the wife a little later, no empty shelves, no shortages of any veggies as far as I could see. Mentioned it to the girl putting vegetables on to the shelves and she said they are getting the same amount of fruit and veg delivered as they always do and there is not a problem - other than some people putting five cucumbers and half a dozen lettuces in their trolleys.
  6. If I had been told it was a retro shirt & seen it without a badge I would have guessed Dewsbury or Bradford. Good looking shirt, nice one Salford.
  7. Same here, no idea how this season will pan out... definitely going to be interesting.
  8. London Skolars v Workington Town - by 10 Doncaster v Hunslet - by 4 Midlands Hurricanes v Cornwall - by 18 North Wales Crusaders v Dewsbury Rams - by 12
  9. I have always thought that if the names were changed to North London Skolars and West London Broncos that might generate a bit of local 'belonging', (and rivalry) and that still leaves room for a South and an East team to pop up too.
  10. Roland the Farter (known in contemporary records as Roland Le Fartere and Roland Le Petour) was a medieval flatulist who lived in twelfth-century England. Roland the Farter's given name was George, but he changed it as Roland sounded more regal. He was given Hemingstone Manor in Suffolk and 30 acres of land in return for his services as 'Royal Farter' for King Henry ll. His 'piece de resistance' that he was obliged to perform each year at the kings Christmas feast was "Unum saltum et siffletum et unum bumbulum", a dance that ended with “one jump, one whistle, and one fart” executed simultaneously.
  11. In the 1st century AD, the Romans used to buy bottles of Portuguese urine and use it as a mouthwash. Importing bottled urine became so popular that the emperor Nero taxed the trade. The ammonia in urine was thought to disinfect mouths and whiten teeth, and urine remained a popular mouthwash ingredient until the 18 th century.
  12. He was a great hero in Victorian times, but as time passed and attitudes changed, he has been largely forgotten. I think I read that he has three statues in Northern Ireland, an obelisk to his memory in Pakistan and his grave in Delhi is classed as a protected monument by the Indian government.
