Thats no excuse to be rude to the police now
British comedian Graeme Garden recreated Buster Keaton's famous falling house front stunt for an episode of The Goodies. In the original film Buster Keaton was standing in a small area when the front of a house came off and fell through him( small window cut into the side) and an inch out he would have been killed. The same was done by Graeme, probably more safety around for him but nevertheless it could have injured him.

Quite right GreenMachine.
The police would have right to arrest him and grill him.

The 600th UK number one single was in 1987 and it was China In Your Hand by T'Pau. I know this to be true because I was listening to the Top 40 that day and it was announced. T'Pau of course was the name of Spock's mother in Star Trek.

The first car to break the 200mph target was:
Sir Henry Segrave's Sunbeam Mystery at Daytona on 29 March 1927.
This car was built by the Sunbeam company in Wolverhampton.

The road sign that we all now know as the Nation Speed Limit sign (aka no street lights) was once known as the Unrestricted Speed Limit sign. But was changed in the sixties to mean "70mph" not long after Jaguar test drivers were driving like lunatics testing the then new E-Types up & down the M1. Exceeding 100mph regularly of course in one of them old bangers.

British children's tv producer Cynthia Felgate had more credits for her productions than even the prolific producer in the US, Aaron Spelling.
If you watch Diamonds Are Forever (James Bond film with Roger Moore) there is a glaring error that not many people will spot. Bond drives his car down an alleyway and drives up a ramp and tilts the car onto its right wheels to go through the narrow gap. When the camera picks it up again the car is balanced on its left wheels-it was such an audacious stunt it was kept in the film. And on the same tack in the other film The Man With the Golden Gun Bond drives a car off part of a bridge, does a sideways 180 degree turn in mid air and then lands on the other side. The stuntman responsible for that amazing stunt worked it out using a computer and the producer Albert R 'Cubby' Broccoli immediately gave him a $1,000 dollar bonus.
From that list in the Daily Mail(QI book)
In the ten seasons of TV's Friends, the six main characters drink 1,154 cups of coffee.
The world's longest sausage was 39 miles long.
ROLLS ROYCE Phantoms have Teflon-coated umbrellas in the doors.

The longest stretch of dead straight railway track in the world is the 297 mile long part of the Trans-Australia Railway.
Nothing but the shimmering heat rising from the track, and the sun glinting off the rails. Good backdrop for a horror story.
