A couple living in London went into their loft and found a stack of papers, which they very nearly threw in the bin. Something indicated these weren’t just scribblings and having them investigated proved they once belonged to the WW2 codebreaker Alan Turing and sold at auction for just over half a million.

Did you know that Brits landed at Omaha beach too? There is a plaque on the hill above which commemorates their sacrifice


I would say that there was Brit Paratrooper along with Canadian ones that would have landed behind the American beaches. Most but not all American Para landed further along and east of the beaches because they had different objectives to take. In the movie the Longest Day you see the American troops meeting up with a Canadian Para who was hiding behind a bridge. The actor was trying to talk with a Canadian accent but failed badly.

Each para group, be it American or British and Canadians weren't given the same orders or passwords for security reason so it was a miracle that they didn't end up shooting each other especially in the dark when they first landed behind the lines.

Know when we were talking about Cook’s ship Endeavour? Well the last shuttle to go into space carried with it a piece of wood from the ship itself. The name of the Shuttle? Endeavour

Research has found that female frogs often fake death to avoid mating with male frogs they find unattractive.


I have had them fall head over heels for me but never fake death.

Funny you mentioned that, Shula. It reminds me of my bar-predator days.

Bars, or pubs as they are here, were once responsible for the continuation of the British species as everybody met their wives in a pub

Well you see Pete, men all drink to get their courage up and buy the girls drinks to lower their standards. Nature in its raw state.

From my bar predator days...........always watch them get drunk & then buy them a drink near closing time. That way you don't have to spend a lot of $ on them. Also, if they are sitting with a bunch of other hens & they go to the lady's room with their purse, don't waste any $ on them. That time of the month. My best line now............"If you lower your standards, I'm available.
