One of my favourite bits of useless information is that the various cliffs along Britain's south coast - Cliffs of Dover, Needles, Jurassic coast etc - were caused in some part during the Last Ice Age when the weight of retreating ice over the north of England and Scotland tilted the entire country
I like that the U.S. Appalachian mountains, the Scotchish Heelands and the Atlas mountains in Morocco are all part of the same mountain range that formed in Pangea and gradually was pulled apart.

Reality is stranger than fiction. I look forward to the Phil Collins GTA animation film then 😂

I mean, the Genisis Land of Confusion video.....
The video features caricature puppets by the British television show Spitting Image. After Phil Collins saw a caricatured version of himself on the show, he commissioned the show's creators, Peter Fluck and Roger Law, to create puppets of the entire band, as well as all the characters in the video

So Collins has, at least, got form on that front.

Result - eight weeks in jail.

Amazing that we used to laugh at causing an innocent person so much stress.

Also can't see Beadle without thinking of this

Some say Jeremy Beadle had a small cock… on the other hand, it was pretty big.

I’d say part of the definition would be four internal right angles. Still allowing you to draw a curved barrel if you don’t specify straight edges.

It's probably as I'm old, but I had no idea who he was until this crash, comments on here and Reddit suggest he's a bellend and this isn't unsual for him.
However 15m subs on Youtube (plus whatever other socials) and millions of pounds launched from a career of flipping pens....no wonder other kids watching this don't want proper jobs :lol:
