    His pronunciation of “bloody stinking mingers” was technically not correct (for our American cousins, it’s “min(g)er”, not “minGer”), but was actually an improvement, and I’m going to pronounce it like that from now on. Bravo, Sir.

    In the UK It’s common for construction workers to buy a newspaper. Then take a sheet of the newspaper and hide it somewhere in their construction or renovation.

    There is an ancient village in Orkney that’s older that either Stone Henge or the Pyramids. It’s called Skara Brae. It’s a small group of homes (that are still recognisable as such) that are around five thousand years old and spent centuries buried under the sand until a massive storm hit the island in 1850 and basically blew the sand dune away and uncovered it.

    There is also the fact all the pyramids are built along the Nile not at the top of a fecking hill miles from a navigable waterway and granite is a whole lot harder to work with than what is basically compacted sand. The reason there are pyramids on every continent is because they are simply putting some rocks in a big pile taken too far. While the various henge's built all over western Europe are very accurate celestial Calender's allowing the people to measure and predict seasonal changes for more successful farming.

    I have news for you. The Muffin or English muffin if you prefer to call it has been around since AT LEAST 1703. (that’s 73 years before America tore itself free from English colonialism). I don’t know where someone got the idea the English muffin was invented in the United States? There’s even an old English song “Do you know the muffin man” penned around 1820. According to Wikipedia (which must be wrong) they were invented by an Englishman who emigrated from Plymouth in 1874 .. I think NOT. I suspect someone is getting muddled up with the origins of the (American) Sweet muffins which were invented by some English bloke in America called Thomas in 1880 & the English muffin.

    Ancient Egypt - The weather is fairly constant but the river runs low sometimes, lets build grand architecture for future generations to see. Ancient England - For half the year there is no food and often it gets so cold that water goes hard and becomes undrinkable, lets build a great monument to predict the weather and grow the food we need to survive! Humans lived easily in Africa for over a quarter of a million years, humans lived in deadly conditions of the UK for 20,000 years and we still built Stonehenge before the Egyptians built the Pyramids! Small and weak my arse, if they had any strength they would have colonised the world before we even existed!
