The saying " a cock and bull story" comes from 2 pubs/coach houses the cock and the bull in Stony Stratford. They used to try and out do each other with wild claims. As they are on the original roman road from london heading north (now the A5) the stories spread and the saying was born.

So, no pool game tonight and the lads decided we would have a practise night. We need it. There was a group of young lasses in all night. We fed the juke box with all the best songs we could, they never moved. Stuvk a quid in and put on wombles -minuetto allegretto, black lace -agadoo, spitting image -chicken song, captain sensible -happy talk and Jason Derulo ft Snoop Dogg -wiggle. Well the place was a bouncing.

So the pointless fact of the day.

Many a good tune to be playec on an old fiddle 🙂 🙂

The toilet handle in a public restroom can have up to 40,000 germs per square inch.

Thats alright, because my hands have double that by the time my finger has pushed through the tissue paper bog roll used in a public loo.

Reminds me of the greaseproof paper you were supposed to wipe your backside at school with.

Yes it was called izal. Iirc it was one of the first products to undergo a pointless name change. Think it was changed to just zal

As a kid it made decent tracing paper
 
And yes its still available albeit without the antiseptic smell.
Who on earth would use this stuff in this day and age.

Sadistic so and so''s😀
 
The Roman army didn’t have toilet paper so they used a water soaked sponge on the end of a stick instead! hope stick wasnt sharp
 
In a typical home, more than 9,000 gallons of water are wasted while running the tap waiting for hot water. As much as 15% of your annual water heating costs can be wasted heating this extra 9,000 gallons.

It's not distance. It applies to properties built on former monastic land that may have chancel repair liabilities. You can take out insurance against it.

One of the most popular threads on a plumbing forum has nothing to do with plumbing, but does prove plumbers have far too much pointless facts!
