In a test cricket match in 1979 between England and Australia, bowler Graham Dilley took the wicket of batsman Dennis Lillee, caught by Peter Willey.
So it was Lillee caught Willey bowled Dilley. Documentary proof. Last edited by rosestone; May 18th, 2016 at 05:59 PM.. |

More fascinating facts from 1,234 QI Facts To Leave You Speechless
The 1908 London Olympics were sponsored by OXO, Odol mouthwash and Indian Foot Powder! Scallops caught in Brittany are shipped to China for cleaning and then sent back to France to be cooked and eaten. The Hawaiian pizza featuring ham and pineapple was invented by a Greek in Canada. ENGLISH has more words for the noise that dogs make than any other language. Tapping a dashboard makes a pleasant noise because motor manufacturers discovered that one in four people do it when buying a new car! More to come.

the term " put a sock in it " meaning to shut someone up originates from the time when gramaphone players had no volume control so to quieten it you would put a sock in the horn .

Scottish Bagpipes are made from the carcasses of small animals that have some legs shorter than the other legs because they go around the summits of very small hills in only one direction.

I'd like him to pipe up, and not to drone on, and are they a boy or scurl?

Actually Greenman, the males are Boys and the females are Skirls.
They only use skirls in the making of the Bagpipes. Hence the phrase "The skirl o' the pipes". Santeefats, isn't the fact that Greenman knows there are Boys and Skirls proof enough?

Did you know .
If we vote leave the world will turn flat and we will all fall off the sides . And house prices will crash . And the cost of cheap and obedient labour in leafy parts of north London will sky rocket . The latter is the real reason for project fear . |
