Bit like when synthetic soles were developed for British footwear in the 70s, there were a lot of leather soles no longer required but luckily 'Berni Inns' were invented and took all the unwanted stock.
You can never trust a granny. I bet she also told you that you were a good, sweet child
She did on occasion. ..when she wasn't giving me a clip round the ear.You can never trust a granny. I bet she also told you that you were a good, sweet child
In the 60s Berni inns did a deal with Jamie Olivers grandad who ran all school dinners at the time. They bought all the left over semolina, tapioca and chocolate pudding. They mashed it all together and put cherries on top....and Black Forrest Gateaux was created.

VO2 Max is measured as the maximum rate at which you can deliver oxygen to your working muscles. The world record for a human is about 97 litres per minute per kg of weight in a Norwegian cross country skier. Sedentary adults have a figure between 15-30 litres per minute per kg of body weight. A bumble bee in comparison can work at a rate of about 6,000 litres per minute per kg of weight.

So that's how they manage to fly.

Contrary to popular belief, Mike and Bernie Winters were not really brothers. They were actually husband and wife.
Mike first met Bernadette on the northern working mans club circuit, where he had been a comedian and she was part of a singing girl group with her sisters.

With the Krankies it is the opposite. They pretend to be husband and wife when, in fact, they are brothers. The little one used to be 6 foot tall until he got caught in a revolving door. That caused him to become moody (or cranky) and with a slight change the name stuck.

Believe it or not, the krankies were secret wife swappers. Unfortunately, their swinging career came to a swift end after they could find no one actually willing to swap with them.
Archaeologysts have recently discovered remains of an ancient African tribe that were different in several ways.
The main difference was that all the males had 2 backsides.
After translating the writings found in the dig it appears that although the double backside had certain advantages it also had major problems as, when they needed a poo they never knew which backside was going to operate and sometimes they would unfortunately both operate together.
The writings went on to describe the decor of the latrines but translation of this section has, so far, not been possible.
