Although Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain, due to EU madness, the EU identifier on Northern Irish number plates is "NI" not "GB". The reason for this is that they didn't want to discriminate against the Irish.

Sounds like euro sensibility to me, we nearly got SCO on our plates too but there wasn't the demand for it, in NI there was.

in WW2 butchers used to inject water into sausages to make them look bigger and fatter, this had the effect of making them explode violently when cooked. this is why they are called bangers and where the practice of prícking them to let the water out and thus preventing them exploding came from

The big bang thing might take five years before a big bang. So we might be drawn into a blackhole sometime in the next five years without warning?

Re: INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY

apparently black hole have some sort of effect on time in their immediate surroundings so they would warp the space time continuum (seriously) so the five years would feel like much much longer in some places and less in others. . .
