I thought that it was that seven being the most popular and prime was a bit of a dick and bullied those less popular numbers like 6.Quote:

Team GB: 300 reservists, 250 militia, 150 sailors lead by Lord Cawdor (who set up his head quarters in a pub) and the "army" suffered light casualties
French: 600 regulars, 800 irregulars, 2 frigates, 1 corvette, 1 lugger lead by Chef de brigade William Tate (irish-american and ended up POW) lost 33 killed & wounded, 1,800 captured (This includes the crew of the ships hence more than the soliders), 1 frigate captured, 1 Lugger captured.
The heroine of the hour was Jemima Nicholas, who, with her pitchfork, went out single-handedly into the fields around Fishguard and rounded up 12 French soldiers and 'persuaded' them to return with her to town where she locked them inside St. Mary's Church.
FTFY. Saw it on Horrible Histories (and if you don't watch that, why not? It's ace!)Quote:

Also in amusing bit, well i thought so. I bellringing there are different "families" of methods each identified by a different "surname". One such family is called "Alliance" . Yesterday, at Shoreditch a new one was christened called "The Rebell", so for those who aren't up to speed it is known in full as "The Rebel Alliance", and the footnote that accompied it included: "Belated congratulations to Luke Skywalker on the destruction of the Death Star."
Also forgot to mention, there was a dashcon ballpit there, but I didn't have £9946.96 to get an extra hour...
lol, the ballspit.

A container filled with millions of Lego pieces fell into the sea off Cornwall in 1997. But instead of remaining at the bottom of the ocean, they are still washing up on Cornish beaches today - offering an insight into the mysterious world of oceans and tides.
A quirk of fate meant many of the Lego items were nautical-themed, so locals and tourists alike started finding miniature cutlasses, flippers, spear guns, seagrass, scuba gear as well as the dragons and the daisies.

Saw that. 4 million bits of lego in a container :eek:
Love how the locals compete to find the rare bits :D
I bet there are some people who put them through the washing machine (to make them look damaged) then drop them on the shore and go "Oh look I found x"
Either that or I have just set up the perfect sea-salveaged lego firm...
It is like one estimate that suggested that if you were to collect all the bits of the berlin wall it would make a wall 10x the size
They are also a TV series, one watches TV series :pQuote:

They are books, the other formats are adaptations, or corruptions if you will, of the original source. So it would be have you seen the tv show based on the horrible history books. In the same way, one can tell how people came across George RR Martin's works, book readers call it A song of fire and ice, TV watchers call it game of thrones.Quote:

so that plan worked out perfectly there :D
Apparently I missed us debasing ourselves to the same level as the rest of the internets and posting random cute animal pics.
Did you come across Cakes with Faces up there?Quote:

Bought one. Was disappointed. Glad didn't buy four for £10.
The actual characters look really good, it's just the cake was not to my taste and beyond the one off novelty value the price was poor value.
Someone you know?
well, someone had to cook up the idea of wanting to go to Britain in the first place I guess... :pQuote:

Although that floorplan bears no resemblance to reality.
