The phrase "where there's Muck, there's Brass" originated in the ancient brass mines on the isle of Muck. During world war 2, all of the brass was extracted from these mines to manufacture gun cartridges, and todays there is no Brass in Muck.

Prior to the outbreak of WWII, 1964 in the American calendar, monkeys were made from brass.

Brass was deemed to be a strategic metal and none was available for monkey production, so from then on they have been manufacturers from a mix of pubes and dogs poop. Indeed, pubes themselves are in short supply and manufacturers conserved stocks my not covering monkeys bottoms.

The Pretenders were, like Milli Vanillia, nothing more than a bunch of young people miming to a backing track. The actual band were a bunch of Welsh Miners from Inverness.

"Welsh Miners from Inverness" are a hip-hop act from Compton LA.

"Welsh Mining" is a euphemism for a particularly lewd explicit act, which moderators will not allow mention of here, and "Inverness" is a hated run down suburb of San Diego.

Inverness is historically a suburb of Cardiff that declared UDI under Mayor Starmer in 1952.

Mayor Starmer promised to move the whole enclave but then changed his mind, taking 14 years to take decisive action to not do anything.

It was Mayor Johnson who managed to "get exit done", although he fell from grace over the cost of redecorating the Mayoral residence and was replaced by Mayor Linekar, who himself was to die of crisp related cholesterol poisoning.
