I don't smoke weed or sess, because it's known to give a brother brain damage and brain damage on the mic don't manage nothing, except making a sucker and you equal. Don't be another sequel.

In ye olde England residents on the upper floors of houses would empty their bed pans by simply tossing the contents out of their open windows into the street below. They'd yell out beforehand so those below knew to be aware and take cover.

Gents stumbling home from the tavern however, if overly refreshed, would apparently pay no attention to the calls. Or even look up to see what the noise was, upon which they'd be hit square in the face with a steaming load of excrement.

This is the origin of the term "shitfaced".

Fanta was invented by Cola Cola Deutschland in 1941 due to trade bans making it impossible to import the ingredients for Coke.

Unavailabilty of Coke was affecting morale, so they made a soft drink from the ingredients available.

John Tyler, American president from 1841 - 1845, was born in 1790. Remarkably he has a grandson who is alive today, 235 years later.

He had a son (one of 15 children) in 1853, when he was 63yo, and that son in turn had a son, Harrison, in 1928, when he was 75yo.

Harrison Tyler is a spritely 87yo. Its one of the longest recorded stretches covered by just three generations.

Hugo Boss outfitted the SS. Bayer made some of the gas chamber chemicals for the extermination camps.

Pretty much any German company back in those days were linked to the Nazis' war effort in some way or another.

Wasn't Oscar also a different colour originally?
Orange one minute, Green the next?

Also, who's that in your DP?

Looks like Pete Townshend.

Blasphemy! Every man, woman and child should know who Townshend is.

I like the Who and have most of their albums, and saw them live in Dublin. But I could walk past Pete Townshend in the street and not recognise him. Awesome guitarist.

Without resorting to Google I have no idea what he looks like now or even when he was younger.

Keith Moon's sister lives on the Gold Coast now. She and her husband used to own the Duke of Wellington in Twyford, just down the road from my pub. They sold up a few years ago and moved out here. She has those crazy eyes he had.

That is a pretty awesome stat. My own grandfather and I span 3 centuries...(as in 1800s,1900s,2000s)But I think that would be common right now.

Brunei and Philippines are the only 2 Asian countries that don't contain that letter A.

How's that for pointless trivia.

I know who he is but wouldn't be able to recognise him.

If I saw his current face for the time, I'd've thought Anthony Rocca's face had melted.
