Wilma Flintstone was always stoned when filming the show. She claimed she was as high as a kite and flying.

In an experiment started in Sept 21. The government had select agents start queues at a few petrol stations. They wanted to see if this would cause members of the public to join the queues. Fear of missing out. The experiment has been an overwhelming success. Next the plan is to experiment with queues at chip shops.

Petrol was invented by the Tsar of Russia, Nelson Mandela, in 1833. It was intended as a cheap, easy to mass produce vodka substitute, but was considered by most Russians to be far to tame to drink,
Red Diesel was invented in Russia in 1902, as a cheaper form of diesel for farm use.
It initially gained popularity in Britain, but was promptly banned by the Conservative government, as it was seen as supporting Communism.
It remains illegal in the UK except when used by farmers, who are all Bolsheviks.
The UK government tried blending Red, Blue and White diesel to make "Union Jack Diesel", which was popularised by Prince Charles during the Queen's Silver Jubilee.

Paul McCartney was a big fan of James Bond and an avid Bond memorabilia collector.
He obtained Odd Job's bowler hat at Bonhams, and swiftly rushed home to admire his purchase. While playing with it he accidentally killed Linda.
Some years later he had remarried, and at a drunken dinner party started throwing the hat around and accidentally chopped the leg off his second wife.
The hat now stays firmly locked away, as does his third wife's ex Schwarzenegger movie gun collection.
Some have, perhaps rather unkindly, suggested that McCartney and his hat were really responsible for the 'knife' attack on George Harrison.
