colhint Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Cannibalism is legal in the uk, as it is in many parts of the world. There are laws about procuring and consent but not the eating. This comes down to the Uruguayan rugby team plane crash. In that situation nobody broke the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’re saying there were laws about cannibalism in the UK prior to the Uruguayan Rugby Team crash. Excuse me for sceptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me for sceptical. Just checked the original legal precedent goes back to 1884. Four people from UK were lost at sea. When the cabin boy fell ill, two of the men killed him and they all began eating him.They were rescued a short while later. The 2 men who killed him but the third was not prosecuted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 15 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15 Bayer Leverkusen winning the Bundesliga has brought an end to one of the best bits of football trivia - Kingsley Coman can no longer claim to have won the league every year since turning professional. His record ends with a streak of 11 seasons where he won the league, including one season where he made appearances for 2 title winning teams in the same season, meaning technically he played for 12 title winning teams in 11 seasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's alright, the more amusing record has stayed in tact. Harry Kane has never won a trophy since turning professional 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 “You learn something new every day even after six decades” corner. If you know Neil Young, one of his best albums is called “Tonight’s The Night “. The title track is about people he knew dying of drug addiction and the first line of the song goes: ”Bruce Berry was a workin’ man he used to love that Econoline van”. Bruce had checked out after a heroin overdose and was one of Neil’s roadies. I only just read that Bruce was in fact the brother of Jan Berry. Maybe one for the boring thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 18 Moderator Share Posted April 18 Thanks @mjmooney I just looked him up and strangely I remember watching the film about his life at home when I was a little kid - one of those old, old memories you don't realise you have, until something like this reminds you - I guess nine year old me had always thought it was fictional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan and Dean had the first surf number one in USA, written mainly by Brian Wilson. Jan Berry was in a serious car accident in 1966, ironically very near to Deadman’s Curve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so useless information: the term "begging the question" does not mean what most people think it means. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
