A competition in South Shields in 1991 for a lookalike of the footballer Paul Gascoigne was won by a teenage girl.
Remarkably, that’s not a comment on how effeminate Gazza looks.
English-speakers can learn French in half the time it takes to learn Welsh.
Because half of English is French while we don’t use any Welsh words?
Emma Martina Luigia Morano, the world’s oldest person when she died at 117, outlived 90 Italian governments.
Snigger.
Only 2 per cent of British households had a fridge in 1946.
Modern poverty, eh?
IF you have £1,785 of savings, you are richer than half of the world’s population.
No, wrong, that should read: IF you have £1,785 of savings and no debt, you are richer than half of the world’s population.
Because half of English is French while we don’t use any Welsh words?
Because there are no Welsh girls worth sleeping with apart from Coke-fiend Catherine Jenkins and she is taken?
No, wrong, that should read: IF you have £1,785 of savings and no debt, you are richer than half of the world’s population.
Hence the story Trump’s daughter tells of driving with her father when they passed a homeless man sleeping on the street and Trump told her that the homeless man was worth $3 billion more than he was.

Only if you count every change of minor party support to a major party as a “change” of government.
The Christian Democrats ran Italy from 1945 to 1980. Yet that probably counts as about 30 “governments” because minor party support changed. Berlusconi Italy 1994–1995 then 2001–2006 then 2008–2011, with Prodi filling most of those gaps, yet that will be another 20 “governments”.
That Italy has lots of “changes of government” is not exactly a myth, but extremely misleading.
Another weird fact: the Daily Mail calls itself a newspaper.
Scientists can tell how old you are from the fingerprint smudges on your phone.
Not French scientists, obviously.
I’ve seen some girls from South Shields. They looked more like Wayne Rooney than Gazza.
