The longest fence in the world is in Australia. It is slightly longer than the distance between N.Y. & London. Called the "Dingo Fence" for keeping the wild dogs out of places where they shouldn't be.

Smart toilet - which includes one that identifies the user's "anal print." Now what would it want to do with that? Sell it to the highest bidder maybe? Put it in the anal print national records? Find a match? Find a buyer? Create a confection based on it called a chocolate starfish? Bet on the size of the possible turd perhaps?

Albert Pierrepoint was a pub owner & English hangman who reportedly executed from 434 to 600 people over a 25 year career that ended in 1956. Many of his clients were war criminals from the WWII era including the infamous Lord Haw Haw. In his memoirs Pierrepoint admitted that capital punishment was not a deterrent. His pub was located in Preston & I am sure Art was a patron there. Rumor has it that Art is "hung."

Most of the hangings in GB from 1901-56 were carried out by one of three members of the Pierrepoint family, before Albert his father and uncle acted as official hangmen.

The barber pole dates back centuries when barber's performed dental work & minor surgeries. The red stripe signifies blood.

Great news for abortion fans Pete. In an effort to combat states whose laws seek to protect innocent unborn lives, Planned Parenthood, America’s top baby slaughtering outfit is going mobile. On Monday Planned Parenthood announced a new effort to make baby killing even easier for those from neighbouring states where abortion has unfortunately become illegal, in their brand new medically equipped 37 foot RV. The St. Louis Planned Parenthood office said that since June, the Fairview Heights clinic has seen a 30% increase in abortion patients, a rate officials said was even higher than they anticipated. Patients from outside Missouri and Illinois increased by more than 340%. The mobile abortion clinic is a way to reduce travel times and distances in order to meet patients at the border. It will travel near to the borders of southeastern Missouri, western Kentucky and northeastern Tennessee where women can cross over and get their baby killed. If only somebody would invent contraception.

So you believe all abortions should be stopped. If by having one it will save the mother's life, does that matter? How about if the pregnancy happens from rape from some psycho escaped from the crazy house.

How about if the girl is only 10 and raped by an uncle like just happened in the States. Should she be made to carry it to full term? She is only a child herself and there is a chance she could die during child birth. Probably won't know enough to look after it properly or be able to breast feed it.

Life begins at birth, not 5 minutes after having sex. How about not allowing birth control or the morning after pill like a lot of the red States want to do? Is the State going to look after all these unwanted babies when the mother can't afford to look after them? By not allowing abortions you have turned all women into second class citizens in their own country.

The shoe may fit you but that doesn't mean the same shoe fits everyone else and their situation.

About the mobile vans. Don't you have them for checking out of the way places for TB in years past or even giving the covid shots now??

Surely Britain isn't that backwards, is it?

  Planned Parenthood  America’s top baby slaughtering outfit. I didn't think you really understand the words Planned Parenthood.

If you not planning to become a parent every time you have sex then what do you do? You take safety precautions and take birth control pills or a safe. In the Red States they don't even what you to be able to do that.

Let's go a step further and ask Shula what would she do if one of her daughters were raped my some mad man on the loose or by an in-law. Would she expect her daughter to carry the baby full term as if nothing happened?

Uncle Sam is on a ridiculous spending spree which increases our already out of control debt. Some of the expenditures are: Smart toilet - which includes one that identifies the user's "anal print." Transgender monkeys - hormones into male monkeys to make them female. Gambling - pigeons given tokens to accumulate, spend, or gamble. Recycling - is it manly? Satellite images - to spot cows from space. Elephant poop - Elephants can poop 16.3 lbs. a day.

Elephant poop. Are you farmers short on fertilizer Tommy. Being the second largest polluter in the whole world tells me that America doesn't know or care that they are in that position.

Of course abortion should be allowed in those situations, I'm going to have to buy you a lifejacket as you're forever going overboard. How about not allowing birth control or the morning after pill like a lot of the red States want to do? Want to do you say? So they don't then? What's your point in using hypothetical scenarios? Come back when it's a reality, one that will never happen. About the mobile vans. Don't you have them for checking out of the way places for TB in years past or even giving the covid shots now?? Surely Britain isn't that backwards, is it? There's an intsy wintsy difference with those vans Pete, they were there to save life, not murder babies. If you want to make up comparisons with the vans wouldn't the gassing vans the Nazis used to murder the Jews fit the abortion vans better? How many abortions are carried out solely because of rape? The figure is minuscule compared to the millions for no other reason than convenience, ignorance and selfishness.

I thought you'd trumped me on English Mediaeval history with that reference until I looked it up only to find he's fictional. We're not familiar with SNL over here, although I have found Britney's appearances on YouTube.

There's a whole nation's history in involved in our pub names. There are quite a few pubs which claim the title 'oldest pub' in England but I think the best claim to the title goes to a pub in Nottingham called 'Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem' dating from the 12th century. I believe the most common name is the Red Lion and we have one in the adjacent village, which has been clinging on to life for quite a few years now but seems secure at the moment, as they have a new chef in and his food is superb. There used to be four pubs in the village but two have gone. Most pubs just can't survive without selling food now, a fairly recent phenomena in pub history. When I first started boozing in them at 16, there wasn't a pub in England that sold anything more than a bag of crisps or nuts. There is a town about thirty miles from me called Stalybridge, right on the edge of the Pennines and it boasts the longest and shortest pub names in Britain no less. They are "The Old Thirteenth Cheshire Astley Volunteer Rifleman Corps Inn" and the shortest is: The "Q" If you want a few strange ones, what about The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town? The Nobody Inn, The bucket of Blood Tavern. The one I mostly go in is in the village of Lymm and is called The Brewery Tap.

There's a Red Lion in my home town too. I used to be in a quiz team for The Vine, our big rivals were The Bonnie Gem. Both have since closed and houses stand on the site.

SOS does not mean save our ship. Three dots, followed by three dashes, followed by three dots was just easier on Morse Code. In Virginia it is illegal to hunt any animals on Sunday, even a nuisance species, except racoons.

On that topic, in major league baseball the Cleveland Indians have changed names to the Cleveland Guardians. Why, because the Cleveland Indigenous Americans was too long to put on their uniforms.
