Odd factoids

Beat Nick was coopted as a slogan for the Anti Fascist League in the early Noughties, hence a 'Beatnick' today is shorthand for anyone who batters far-right thugs

The top 6 teams broke away from the anti fascist league and formed their own premiership league. The completely non fascist Democrat Skull Crushing Knuckle Duster Torture Boys of the USA are expected to win this year's league by one car bomb and a kidnapping.

Max Mosley was the son of WWII fascist sympathiser, Baronet Mosley. His attempt to run Formua 1as a fascist dictatorship, complete with a ridiculous short man with a messiah complex, went awry when Mosley himself fell foul of the rules and was sentenced to a thrashing my madame whiplash in the ex stasi F1 dungeon.

The Daily Mail got completely the wrong end of the stick and wrote it up as Mosley getting a spanking for sexual jollies, and the resulting ridicule caused his fascist emipre to collpase. The americans, who in typical style had turned up several years late, now run the show.

Vlad Putin wants a slice of the pie, and we are fully expecting a border wall to be built across Silverstone circuit any day now.

The new wave band, The Police, weren't named after the dibble. The were named after Brian Police, 50's jazz saxophonist of whom Sting was a big fan.

 

[Tribansman]

Sting was also a fan of Roxanne the 60s sexophonist who famously gave him the clap. In the resultant pain induced delirium he penned his gibberish anthem, De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da

Sting's mother was a Waspy Fecker

The general public think the Cold War is about nuclear weapons. Really it is about spreading the common cold amongst your adversaries. Spys would be sent in to the enemies liar and with a well timed sneeze put them out of action for days.

The cold war was won by Switzerland, when they fired a missile loaded with Vicks Vapour Rub at Russia.

Vicks Vapour Rub contains ground up pieces of Vic Reeve's nail clippings.
