Admiral Puff Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 5 hours ago, Tzulscha said: An actual research study commissioned by Guinness found that an estimated 162,719 pints of Irish stout go to waste every year… via mustaches. The study found that 0.56 milliliters of Guinness get trapped in the average beard or mustache with each sip. And it takes about 10 sips to finish a pint. An estimated 92,370 Guinness consumers every year in the UK have facial hair. Assuming they consume on average 180 pints each a year, the total cost of wasted Guinness annually is about $536,000. The moral of this story? Shave and save! NO! I've had my set since 1970, and I'm not getting rid of it just for a few drops of stout. Besides, the Guinness we get here is made locally under licence, and isn't a patch on the real deal! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean. Went on a rugby trip to Ireland once and had a visit to a Guinness Brewery. Tragic really. Great beer but one of the married guys slipped and fell into one of the vats and drowned. At least we could tell his wife he didn’t suffer though. He got out three times to go for a pee 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The phrase She-who-must-be-obeyed is older than most people reckon Most people think of it originating from Leo McKern in 'Rumpole of the Bailey' but it's actually from the story 'She' by H.R. Haggard, first published in 1886 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 There is a fairly recently new band called 'Two Door Cinema Club' from my town What I was told was they acquired their name by inspiration of a local privately owned cinema called the 'Tudor Cinema' The band are punning the pronunciation of 'Tudor' to 'Two Door' Little do they know that the 'Tudor' Cinema is punning the pronunciation of 'Two Door' ! The cinema has only two doors, thus its the Two-door/Tudor Cinema 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzulscha Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 @593jones I think Larry Tureaud is too smart for that. Does he really want a running mate anyway? Possibly some sort of stuffed animal so that he won't be upstaged? Kim possibly... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzulscha Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Something I re-learned just this morning. A triangle can be made up of three 90 degree angles in three dimensional space. I'll let that hang there for a bit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince1159 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) I've got two books about him and that was the first time i'd heard abou the Fats Waller incident...Another fact about Capone was the only nickname he liked/tolerated was 'Snorky',slang for fancy dresser if you called him Scarface or anything else you might've upset him a bit....

No, but there is an FuG5 (luft) unit on the little donkey's back. You can just make out the antenna. I think the saw horse arrangement is meant to stabilize the donkey when firing the panzerfaust. He might just have a had a collision with a barrier and this is the insurance photo... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Ah I see, I remember reading somewhere that the Fallschirmjager had no end of problems with non-stabilized Donkeys. And this was despite Blohm und Voss doing experiments using test mules. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen one of these in the Museum at Saumur. I just thought, if they were to fire that whilst it's on the move, it would do wonders for that scooter's acceleration.
