Now this is downright flipping amazing. The number of times I've been past Paisley Abbey. I've even been inside. And not one person has ever told me before. I'm totally checking it out next time we're up there

Sure! Here are a few lesser-known facts:

1. The shortest war in history occurred between Britain and Zanzibar in 1896. It lasted only 38 minutes.

2. The Great Emu War took place in Australia in 1932, where the Australian military was deployed to combat an infestation of emus. The emus proved difficult to defeat, and the military was eventually forced to withdraw.

3. The shortest reigning monarch in history was King Louis XIX of France, who ruled for only 20 minutes before abdicating.

4. The world's oldest known surviving pair of pants were found in China and are over 3,000 years old.

5. The longest wedding veil ever recorded was 22,843 feet long, which is longer than four miles.

6. The national animal of Scotland is the unicorn.

7. Ancient Egyptians used dead mice as a form of medicine. They would mash up mice and use them as a remedy for toothaches.

8. The largest snowflake ever recorded was 15 inches in diameter and fell in Montana, United States in 1887.

9. The longest name of a place in the world is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitnatahu, a hill in New Zealand.

10. The world's oldest known musical instrument is a flute made from a mammoth tusk, which is over 40,000 years old.

I hope you find these lesser-known facts interesting!

That's correct. She found a way to whip more air in it. Therefore the child now gets less ice cream than prior to Thatcher. ( she even ripped off children)

I supplied the hard hats to 'another brick in the wall' video. Well, not me exactly, but the firm I worked for in Park Royal near Wembley. I was involved in the supply, sort of lol. We had to arrange a very quick delivery from another branch.

My grandad swore that if you stuck your hand up a breed of dog with lock jaw, it will let go (his tip for if you ever got bitten). He bred Staffies and swore by this. I wouldn't like to comment on how he knew this.

In truth, I'm pretty sure anyone with a fist up their bum would probably open their mouths? I certainly would!
