That was the Northampton Southampton Westhampton Easthampton Supporters Club that you met. Sure they are a great bunch of lads but they won't take kindly to you confusing them with the Easthampton Westhampton Northampton Southampton Supporters Club. Seriously you need to pay more attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Both East End Park and Glebe Park were built on cemetery land that was formerly used for unmarked paupers' graves but later sold as cheap land to raise funds for the respective parishes. The areas with marked graves were all retained and are still seen adjacent to both grounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it’s widely believed that East End Park was named to reflect its location in the East of the town, the name actually gets its origins from the well known BBC soap opera ‘Eastenders’. Certain people have pointed out that the stadium pre-dates the television programme by 100 years, and it remains a source of frustration for historians to this day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royal Shakespearean Company used to make an annual pilgrimage up to Dunfermline to perform one of Shakespeare's lesser known plays about people living a grim life somewhere in London. Why Dunfermline I have no idea but it was a popular event that eventually stopped when somebody demolished the theatre they used to make way for a football stadium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) The strong smell of fish which permeates the northern coastal village of Lossiemouth was put down to its famous fishing industry. However, as that no longer exists, and the smell persists, NASA scientists have recently attributed the smell to the oxters of the inhabitants. Recent smellovision footage from the ISS was used to validate this. Edited April 30, 2021 by Melanius Mullarkey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) In Samoa, King Tuiatua Tupua Tamasese Efi (who needed to find an incentive for maids to pack dishwashers efficiently after 'sack and re-hire' failed to resolve the problem) implemented a system whereby women are only allowed to vote on the condition that they are capable of packing a dishwasher to a reasonable standard. To this day, a dishwasher is placed inside a curtained booth outside of every polling station where an entry examination takes place for all women. The pass rate remains <10%.

Of course the EastEnders theme tune was copied from a Pars song. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Lord Lucan disguised himself as an African gentleman and was living with no suspicion from anyone in North-West London. One night he went out for a munchie box and was set upon by racist skinheads who beat him to death. Local gossip identified the culprits but two played on the local police division five a side team on Tuesdays nights down at the new all weather pitch complex and they were never formally questioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) In 1992, Bradley Walsh devised a new game show called Wheel of Catchphrase where contestants had to guess a well known phrase whilst spinning round on giant wheel. However, the show was cancelled after one episode after a contestant fell off the wheel and impaled an arsecheek on a miniature Mr Chips whilst (correctly) guessing “a stitch in time saves nine” for £150. And that contestants name? Stephen Mulhearn, future husband of Jenny Powell. Edited May 2, 2021 by Melanius Mullarkey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Robert Plant was an undercover cop in the West Midlands Police who was sent in to infiltrate hippie cannabis operations. He met other members of the group and was still receiving a police salary well into their 3rd US tour. It is unknown if he receives a pension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Neil Morrisey character in Men Behaving Badly and the Neil Morrisey character in Line Of Duty are actually the same person. Apparently Tony changed his name and got all bitter and corrupt after joining the police force. Not a good career move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
