Nine fingered recruit

[Sarastro]

Sorry Artist, but fairly sure that's a myth...seem to remember that it was first written in the late 1500's during Elizabeth's reign (ie by someone who wasn't a contemporary of Anne) to impugne her mother's character, and thus Liz, by implying that Ms. Boleyn was a witch, apparently such physical deformities were bona fide proof of witchyness, same guy also said she had three nipples, broom, hat, cat and so on...well, three nipples at least.

O Really. Shame. But the fact are these:

They did in fact dig up Anne about fifty years ago to check up on this "fable" And it was a fact. At birth her extra finger was removed in order that she would not be burnt as a Witch.

OK?

I agree with you Ops and she was a Top Shag as well
If ever there was a more positive example of the benefits of serious pelvic floor exercises besdes Mrs Aitch, she was it.
Walnuts, anyone?"

Before or after they dug her up?

But does it count if it's growing out of his head? Makes playing the banjo hellish (so I'm told )!

I recall a L/Cpl Paul Burns, Para Regt, in Cyprus in '85. He'd lost half a leg at Warren Point and was one of the instructors at the Cyprus Combined Services Parachuting Centre. His PLF's were shyte, but he could jump a ram air rig with the best of them (he'd just been transferred from the Red Devils to CCSPC). He had no probs with his prosthetic. I was having a brew, sitting on the end of one of the rigging tables one day when I hear this, "OI!". I jumped out the way just in time for Paul to touch the top of the coffee urn with one foot before a picture perfect landing. Flash git!
