Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-01-21 07:08:05Copy HTML 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. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

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? |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-01-22 12:17:20Copy HTML Major, humanity thanks you for your service in extending lifespan. 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. |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-01-23 06:05:17Copy HTML 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.

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-01-23 11:06:45Copy HTML 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.

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. |

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. |
