    The most poisonous & expensive substance is botox

    I bet plutonium is more expensive.

    (if that website is to be trusted) disappointingly, there is a (single) tube station with none of the letters of “shithole”

    It’s Bank – curiously the station where I’d expect to find the majority of shits 😉

    Being a professional cycling heretic, I run a pair of tubeless road wheels, with tubes!

    I still have my first pair of after market MTB wheels.

    There is one TTD scotch egg in my fridge at home.

    the word ‘turn’ has 288 definitions in English which would be more interesting if there weren’t 5 other words which have quite a lot more definitions than that

    Mogrim, I read something somewhere (can’t find it now) that the worlds supply of Botox is made from something daft like one gram and it costs trillions to manufacture.

    May have qty’s wrong but I is indeed the most expensive substance on the planet to manufacture.

    If you stand at the bottom of the tower in the Palace of Westminster that holds Big Ben (Queen Elizabeth Tower, I think it’s called), listening to the chimes of Big Ben on Radio 4 (which are broadcast live), you’ll hear them on your radio before you hear them from the bell itself.

    Not if it’s a DAB radio 🙂

    As a teenager I was invited to train with the British Olympic Cross Country Skiing development squad, despite barely being able to ski (they were desperate). I didn’t go.

    Ha, now it’s an interesting fact so even if correct, you lose 😀

    Had a bit of a google – it’s better than working – and you’re correct. Loser.

    I can only think of two ways to pronounce slough?

    Slew (through)
    Sluff (rough)
    Slaw (bough)[/quote]

    If this is just “ways -ough is pronounced” then there’s more than that.

    How about:

    Sloff (cough)
    slow (though)

    and, er, the way that “Slough” is usually pronounced, which I would personally think rhymes with “bough” – not sure who pronounces “bough” in a way that rhymes with “slaw”?

    Oh, and simply, “Sluh” as in “borough”

    EDIT: We used to have an English teacher called Mr Clough who’s name we delighted pronouncing in all of the above ways, and probably a few more that I’ve since forgotten. There, now that’s properly boring.

    Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was just called “Star Wars” when it came out – they added the rest when they were making Empire Strikes Back.

    George Lucas has said that he wrote this huge multi-generational story in the mid 70’s but thought chapter 4 was the most complete so many the first film based on that – but he was lying.
