The Australian State of Victoria was not named after Queen Victoria as most people think, it was actually named after one of explorer Captain Cook's nieces.

Up until the reign of Queen Victoria it was the law that jigsaws were limited to a maximum of 90 pieces. Victoria, who was a keen jigsaw puzzler, decreed that with materials and technology improving, the maximum should be raised to 185. Upon her death and as a remembrance of her fondness for jigsaws, Parliament decided to abolish a maximum amount.

Hate it when I'm being served in a shop or office and they stop serving me when the phone rings and the person dealing with me answers it. I am left in limbo while the person on the other end of the phone gets dealt with before me, even though I have taken the time to come into the shop/office and probably had to queue before being served. What is it about a ringing phone that makes people have to answer it right away even though they are serving someone already. The height of ignorance and bad manners if you ask me.

William Shakespeare could not read or write very well. He dictated all his plays, etc, to his secretary who wrote them out for him.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is actually perpendicular, it is the slope on the surrounding landscape that gives it the appearance of leaning over.

Ninewells have sifted through my faeces and there's no blood in it. Thank f**k for that.
The amount of sperm however was quite high.

The number of times The Hunt For Red October has been on the telly recently. Must have been on at least 8 times in 3 weeks. (maybe not statistically correct as I didn't really count, but it seems to be on a lot.)

Ah right was reading jonny Hayes would pay £1000 for his own appeal but was thinking that a lot of money for our own club everytime some gets a red and think it was unfair. If you get it back then not so bad cheers
The appeal amount is probably set at a fairly high level to try and discourage clubs, especially lower league clubs with less money, from taking the risk of lodging an appeal.
ETA: I was going to ask if it was the same level of fee in all divisions but SD's post has answered this, although he didn't say what the current fee is.

In with tea bag + sweeteners/sugar, then the water, leave to brew, tea bag out, milk to taste.
If you put the milk in first when does the tea bag go in? Weak as piss tea is the result if he adds the milk first to the tea bag.
I have been referring to tea brewed in a teapot not in the cup. The strength of the tea, making it in a cup, is determined by how much milk you put in, how long you leave the teabag in before adding the water, how much water you put in and how long you leave the teabag in after pouring in the water. It all comes down to experience and to personal taste so there is really no definitive answer to your question. You may have inadvertently posed another dilema. Should you add the sugar/sweeteners before adding the water or after the tea is brewed. I don't use sugar or sweeteners so on this one I'm out.

Afternoon tea requires sandwiches and fancy cakes.
What you have paraded here is a cup of tea with some digestives.
A minks version of afternoon tea if the truth be told.
My version of afternoon tea is that it is after noon and I am drinking tea so I am factually correct. I did not say it was a fancy afternoon tea with all the trimmings. It was others who made it out to be a lavish occasion. I stretch to chocolate coated digestives if I feel like being lavish.

You've put too much thought into that. Just accept you drink tea like a mink.
Yes things got a bit technical there for a while. I fancy unwinding with a nice cuppa. Milk first and fkuc you all.

Has a pop at the upper class then speaks of hosting "afternoon tea"
I will never miss an opportunity to have a pop at the so called upper classes but afternoon tea is just my small way of living the high life for a short while. "Hosting" is a bit of an exaggeration as well, the stuff's on the table and they can help themselves. I made the tea and opened the digestives, I'm not going to fuss after them.

The poor used to have cheap cups that would crack if you poured hot water/tea into them. The milk was added first to stop this happening. Pauper.
If they were that poor how could they afford to buy tea and not decent cups? And if your theory is correct just how much milk did they put in to counterbalance the heat from the tea. Sounds a bit too milky for my liking. I only like a small dash of milk.

His actual job, BTW, was making or improving crisps flavours.
Ready Salted, cheese, salt n vinegar or french fries, anything else is totally OTT.

My friend makes tea the same way you do, milk in first....his parents beat him as he has downs.
If you really are his friend as you claim then maybe you shouldn't be too judgementle on how he makes his tea. Have you considered reporting his parents to the authorities? It's what a true friend would do.

^^^ Wrong
A pretty shit cup of tea in your case.
As I said, snobby b-stards. When having tea made by someone else and they put the milk in last I don't find any difference to the way it tastes so I will continue with my preference of milk in first when I make my own tea and to hell with what others think is right. Can anyone actually tell me why etiquette dictates that it should be tea before milk, or is it just another instance of the "upper class" trying to dictate how the commoners should behave? Milk first then tea could be my way of sticking two fingers up at the chinless wonders. Anyone who visits me for afternoon tea is free to make their own choice because the teapot and milk carton ( I could have said milk jug but lets be honest) are sitting on the table for them to pour as they prefer.

Snobby b-stards and "Etiquette Tutors" who sneer at putting the milk in the cup before pouring the tea. That's how I do it, that's how I like it, get over it, it's only a f-ing cup of tea.

Eggheads and Only Connect, surely the most boring quizzes ever devised. Even Victoria Coren isn't as hot anymore.
Yeh. Let herself go a bit since she got married. Still! wouldn't see her stuck if she asked nicely.
