The fastest sending off in a football match was awarded to Lee Todd.
0.01 seconds after the referee blew his whistle to start the match, player Lee Todd of Cross Farm Park Celtic shouted, "**** me, that was loud!", and was immediately given a red card.

The numbers 270, 162, 423, 522, 2322, 12006, and 41111 are all divisable by 9. In fact any number with numerals adding up to 9 is divisable by 9.

The first Goal scored in the Premiership was by Brian Deane of Sheffield United, "Come on you Blades"

You missed a 1 from the end of 41111, Paul.  It needs 5 1's to make it divisible by 9.

A bit of USA trivia.  The second president John Adams and the third president Thomas Jefferson both died on the same day, 4th July 1826, exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence.  The president (the 6th) at the time was John Quincy Adams, son of John mentioned above.

If all the drunken, hen-party ladies during a summer season on the Broads were laid end-to-end...

This toy is generally considered to be the inspiration behind actual plastic surgery which is now available. An inflatable bladder is included alongside a silica shaping implant, the bladders being inlfated by a small rubber bulb implanted under the armpit.

 

I used to work with a girl who had such surgery performed. Each time she flapped her arm, approximately one inch was added to her bust.

 

Sadly, it ll ended in near tragedy at the office Christmas Party. She arrived as a respectable 36C but after two chorus's of the Birdy Dance was reported to be "at least a 48GG"
