Origin of XXX on poison bottles. Goes back to the Apalachin moonshiners who placed the triple X on their bottles of "mountain dew" to denote the product was strained 3 times. That morphed into the poison identification.

The first flushing lavatory was designed and constructed by Sir John Harington in 1589. Only two were built, his own plus one for Elizabeth I in Richmond Palace.

Thomas Crapper was a Victorian businessman (1836-1910) and head of a plumbing company which installed lavatories. He also patented several design improvements in his company's products.

My definition of camping is using someone else's indoor plumbing.  Diamonds aren't a girl's only best friend.

HAVE YOU NEVER PRACTISED CAT SANITATION GIRL?

Probably the type that when invited over to a neighbour's pool party are too shy to ask the neighbour to use their indoor bathroom so instead wiss in their pool thinking no one will ever know, right?

Yes Tommy because you know how those nuns lied to you about everything you did.

As a matter of fact, you are still doing it and you haven't gone blind yet have you.

As an apprentice I had a shocking education because I was On site at 17 and they had a bonus system running. The foreman plumber was supposed to be giving me an apprenticeship but he was obsessed with money and I just happened to be ultra quick on gutters, downspouts and lead slates, which he kept me on constantly, I never got to fit a bathroom, or boiler and by the time they thought to shift me back to routine plumbing on housing, I knew very little really and I was 19. I used to attend building college one day a week but the place was hopelessly dated when I think about it now and so I got to learn plumbing from a bygone age, which was interesting but no use whatsoever in the real world, unless you went into preservation. I dumped the company as soon I legally could and that’s when I packed up went to the island of Jersey.

-7 F this morning at my estate. After the AM flush it goes under the front lawn where there is a bare spot in the snow. Must be warm down there cause the flow is good.

It was 3F at 6:00 a.m. here.  Overnight temperature will be 1F.  That's exactly how January should be.

Napoleon had a coin he would always flip before a battle. He would announce to the army that if it landed on "tails" God was with them & they would charge head long into the fray. It always landed on "tails" & his men always fought harder knowing God was with them. After his death it was revealed that the coin was two-sided "tails." I don't know if this is true.

When I went through my Napoleonic phase, I read about a lot of myths, or stories depending on your definition I guess, about that very strange general.  One of them was that he collected cameos.

3 degrees F? Your joking, right. That would be considered a balmy day in most places. How many feet of snow do you have?

Overall, a couple of feet. My driveway is about 300 feet long & the Polaris Ranger has had a workout this year with the plowing.

Friendship difference between men & women: Woman doesn't come home one night. Next morning she tells husband she slept over at a girlfriend's house. Husband calls 10 of her friends & all of them say they did not see her. Man doesn't come home one night. Next morning he tells his wife he slept over at a buddy's house. Wife calls 10 of his friends & 8 of them claim that he did, & two of them claim he is still there.

Cumbria, England has the world's biggest liar contest. Contestants have 5 minutes to tell the biggest lie they can & then are judged on it. Politicians & lawyers are forbidden to compete...........too much experience on the subject.

Rumo(u)rs circulating here in the Colonies speculate that King Charles has cut Harry Markle out of his will. Will you Limey's please set us straight over here? Say it ain't so because the talking heads fear Meghan will dump Harry if the $ is not guaranteed.

Grey may have an answer, but I think a while back she said that site admin was no longer operating?

I sign in every time I log on that's usually enough, I never use the sign in for a set period option.

Not heard anything about that. Royal wills are the most closely guarded of all Royal records and the contents rarely made public, either before or after death. Most likely guesswork or a rumour getting out of control.

To Art first. That hat badge I mentioned I got in Norway is now posted under the HR Queen string and for the rest of you there is also a video about Henry the V111 and his 6 wife you may find interesting here now.

When you sign in, select 1 year. I do this every week after clearing history and memory.
