Me too but the LW likes me anyhow. :)
Boo
Wha?
Have you been drinking water again? :D
playing hooky from work last word.
I was listening to A Day In The Life by The Beatles this morning. Just to refresh your memory, the lyrics go like this:
I read the news today, Oh boy!
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.
And though the holes were rather small,
They had to count them all;
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
What you probably don't realise however is where that original comment came from in the first place:
The Daily Mail
January 17, 1967
Now by inference if there is 1/26th of a hole per person, and the Royal Albert Hall holds 5,544 people including standing in the Gallery due to fire and safety restrictions, then it follows that this Grade I listed building requires a mere 213 holes to fill it, which is hardly what one would call a "Sea of Holes" at all is it?Quote:
According to road surveys carried out by the Ministry of Transport in conjunction with The Lancashire County Roads Office, there are more than 4000 holes in the road in Blackburn, Lancashire, or one twenty-sixth of a hole per person. If Blackburn is typical then there are over two million holes in Britain's roads and 300 000 in London.
i always wondered where that lyric came from.
Well you wonder no more, just like you not having the LW :D
too bad your suffering from the same affliction.
