She probably hears it at near enough every event she attends.

It's a little known fact that the Queen has the national anthem on casette in a little boogie box that she carries around with her. A bit like David Brent doing his motivational talks with "Simply The Best" on his walkman.

Just been having a conversation with a friend and we were wondering why pubic hair doesn't (apparently)turn grey when other hair on our bodies do.
Does it ever turn grey?

El Guapo said: How has this been proven with sufficient confidence to allow it to be admitted as evidence, though? Unlike 10,000 people, a batch of 10,000 .38s made with the same tooling will be essentially identical. Also, there must be fewer variables, or degrees of freedom, with respect to the imprint of a firing pin, compared to the pattern of a human fingerprint. The TIR (tolerance in repeatability) for mass production is larger than it is for lower volumes. The tooling wears with every part made and it is often practice in very large volume production to keep the machinery rolling and worry about rejects later. The final or spring pass made on the pin by the tooling could maybe leave a distinct finish at a very great degree of resolution and comparison. I suspect this pin is hardened and would possibly be finished on a grinding wheel. The abrasive on this wheel is constantly lost whilst working.

Fair point. Special Olympics would be more fitting for those stroke hounds.

None of which are local to, or remotely associated with those being suggested. I've not added my former school, employer, or anything else that really ties me to anything - yet it's throwing up obscure suggestions like my mates ex from years ago who now lives about 200 miles away, as well as a non local mate of a mate who isn't even on Facebook! I'm beginning to wonder if the Facebook app has access to your phonebook - the only correlation I can think of is that I've probably still got their numbers saved somewhere. Yes it does, it's insidious, only after a bug the other month where it wiped contact details from iPhones and replaced them with their registered Facebook emails did Facebook admit to it, if i was you remove the app and use the Facebook mobile site, although saying that Facebook in any form is hardly a bastion of privacy.

A dustbin fails to meet drive-by regs at MSV trackdays?

Can a GP be their own GP?
Just wondered if they are allowed to self prescribe for example?

If you sneeze with your eyes open, will they actually pop out, or was that just some lie my primary school teacher told me for no reason, like if you watch too much TV you'll get square eyes, or if the wind changes, your face will stay like that?

Why do some Dutch number plates have a '1' or a '2' above the first hyphon while the vast majority don't?

TBH, the only other people I know with a lorry ATM are the Malcolms, of haulage company 'fame' and theirs is unsurprisingly well looked after. My general experience though, is that most horse owners are living well outside their means, the whole 'horsey people are all loaded' is a bit of a myth.
