Spotty's Little Known Facts

[Gary the Enfield]

I heard that one of these comets, crashing into an early Earth, could well have been responsible for bringing water to this planet.

Now THAT's interesting.

"could", "may well" ..... then again quite possibly didn't.

There are hundreds of highly trained and capable scientists who have worked on this, using public money of course, for 25 years. I just think we could have done more with that money ... and they could have done more with their lives.

Well I think it's fecking astonishing. The thing is 6bn km away, a couple of miles across and travelling at 30,000kmph. Just wow.

Ahem. Then again they quite possibly couldn't.

Found out the other day Anne Boleyn was born in Tipperary.

And yes, it IS a fecking long way.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

That is soooooo sad. I mean really sad.
I'll start the petition.

Whereas Catherine of Aragon wasn't born in Aragon and the Mare of Flanders wasn't a horse.

[TANGODANCER]

In 1818, a German artist, Caspar David Friedrich, painted a picture called "The Wanderer above the Sea of Fog". (It's the one L.K uses for his avatar.) Just thought I'd mention it.

Bollocks! Bruce Willis made it look a piece of piss! Ok. He may have died in the end, but that's not the point.

You surprise me. I thought no one knew when she was born so had no idea where. Even then Tipperary, however far and no matter where your heart is, seems improbable. Or has a joke gone over my head comme d'habitude.

I was listening to it live on Five... er Live. Was disappointed that instead of delighted applause when it landed, they didn't belt out a pre-rehearsed French accented version of Don't Wanna Miss A Thing.

But was Katherine over Parr ?

Can't find anything to support her being anything but English with a grandfather who was Lord Mayor of London...Not claiming it as true mind...

That's why it's a little known fact!

According to my father and historians local to the area she was born in Ormond Castle, Carrick on Suir, County Tipperary.

Interesting .... it's not right, but it's interesting.

Her great grandparents had some link to Tipperary. There is no record at all of her birth ... they aren't even sure what year she was born, but her mother rarely moved out of Norfolk. She was occasionally in Suffolk or London but no record of her traipsing around the South of the island of Ireland ... and highly unlikely she'd have travelled far from her home while pregnant. Especially in 1501 or so.

Maybe if anyone here was pregnant they could shine a light on that likelihood but no-one is, so they can't.

[Worthy4England]

I wouldn't let the missus travel to Yorkshire (quite a few other places too) when she was preggers, and that was in the 21st Century.
