In an attempt to outdo their previous year's success with their 'Calendar Girls' style charity calendar, where members posed naked behind strategically placed items, Sudbury Women's Institute decided to produce a hardcore version for 2016.

It was a runaway hit, in particular September's now infamous 'Razzle pile up' photo.

And the cucumber from March's photo was sold on Ebay for more than the entire sum raised by the 2015 calendar.

New Douglas Park is actually Hamilton's second attempt to build a new ground. The first had to be abandoned when it was discovered that the land they had purchased is actually on the Moon. This was kept a closely-guarded secret to avoid them being the butt of jokes about lack of atmosphere at Accies games.

However a UN resolution declared the purchase valid and as a result Accies own the Apollo 14 landing site.

A popular rumour holds that Paul McCartney died in 1967 and was replaced by a lookalike. This is in fact the exact opposite of the truth: Paul was the only survivor of a car crash that killed the other three, and he was forced to seek out replacements. Once a new group had been assembled they went to a retreat in Wales to practice but this was cut short when manager Brian Epstein, who feared he would be unable to keep the secret, committed suicide. As a result the new group had to appear in public much earlier than planned, and to distract fans from the real story Paul began behaving oddly (something he has managed to keep up to this day) so that people would think he was the ringer.

Ballingry wasn't discovered until 1975.

That's because it only appears for one night every hundred years... under normal circumstances. It goes back into limbo when a virgin reads a proclamation from the doors of the church but they haven't been able to find a virgin since 1975.
