When walking downstairs, don't put your hands in your pockets & don't wear your stillies.
If you're ever at a party and your drink tastes unusually salty, do not continue drinking it. Rohypnol is reported to have a salty taste, unless you have just sucked off your man friend, and that's salty also.
If a power line falls next to you, do not walk or run. Put your feet together and do a bunny hop to jump and get away. ( WTF ? )
When the waterline is abnormally far from the shore, this is a sign of a tsunami, or someone has taken the plug out.
THE GAY SCENE IS BACKSTABBING AND EATS ITS OWN. BE WARNED.
If a person's pupils don't dilate to the same size, there's the possibility of brain damage.
Don't leave ice packs on wounds or swelling for more than 15 minutes at a time to avoid irreversible nerve damage ! Yer, freezer burn.
NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A GAY MAN IN A BAD MOOD .
A gray ring around the edge of the cornea is an indication of the high level of cholesterol in the blood.
Keeping transparent water bottles in your car can cause a fire if sunlight passes through them.
AVOID LARGE GROUPS OF GAY MEN TOGETHER, THEY CAN BE DEADLY.
A finger up the bum will get the dog (or any animal) to stop what it’s doing real quick.
Me to...
Baking soda will extinguish a fire, even grease and electrical fires and is good for your teeth also. (someone should tell the fire brigade this.)

NEVER ARGUE WITH A LESBIAN - OR ANY WOMEN COME TO THAT.
Losing weight without trying could very well be cancer or you need to stop panicking and just eat more.
If you are a male and you pee on a pregnancy test and it comes out positive, go get yourself checked for testicular cancer.
If your car is broken down, do not stand in front of it while waiting for help.

Vikings Wore Horned Helmets
When people picture Vikings, the image that often comes to mind is of fierce warriors charging into battle wearing helmets adorned with giant horns. But this image couldn’t be further from the truth.
Archaeological evidence has never uncovered any Viking helmet with horns. In fact, most Viking helmets were simple, conical, and made of iron or leather—designed for protection, not theatrics.
The horned-helmet myth actually comes from 19th-century operas, especially those by Richard Wagner, where costume designers added horns for dramatic effect. It’s amazing how a theatrical choice became a “fact” in pop culture.
Recent museum exhibits and research have worked hard to correct this misconception, but the image persists in movies, cartoons, and Halloween costumes. It’s a classic example of the power of visual storytelling overriding historical accuracy.

Napoleon Was Extremely Short
The idea that Napoleon Bonaparte was a tiny, angry man is one of history’s most persistent myths. According to modern historians, Napoleon was actually around 5’6” to 5’7” tall—average height for a Frenchman of his time.
The confusion started because of differences between French and British measurement systems. British propaganda during the Napoleonic Wars further exaggerated his supposed shortness, using it as a way to belittle the French leader.
In reality, Napoleon often surrounded himself with tall guards, which may have made him look shorter by comparison. The “Napoleon Complex” isn’t rooted in fact, but this myth still shapes how many people see him today.

Medieval People Thought the Earth Was Flat
Many of us grew up hearing that people in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat and feared sailing off the edge. In reality, educated people in Europe as far back as the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round.
By the Middle Ages, scholars, sailors, and even ordinary folks accepted this fact. The myth of flat-earth Middle Ages was popularized in the 19th century as a way to paint earlier times as ignorant and backwards.
Textbooks and stories repeated the idea until it became “common knowledge.” Recent research in medieval manuscripts and teaching materials shows clear evidence of round-earth thinking long before Columbus set sail.
------------------------------------
Marie Antoinette Said “Let Them Eat Cake"
“Let them eat cake”—it’s the phrase forever tied to Marie Antoinette, supposedly proving her obliviousness to the suffering of the French people. But historians have found no credible evidence that she ever uttered these words.
The story first appeared in Rousseau’s autobiography, published when Marie Antoinette was just a child. Later, it was used as revolutionary propaganda to stoke anger against the monarchy.
In fact, records show Marie Antoinette was often generous to the poor. Still, this myth remains alive and well, a perfect example of how a juicy quote can outlive the truth.

Salem Witches Were Burned at the Stake
The Salem witch trials of 1692 are infamous, but the common belief that the accused witches were burned at the stake is simply false. In the American colonies, none of the so-called witches were burned—most were hanged, and one man, Giles Corey, was pressed to death with heavy stones.
Burning at the stake did happen in Europe, but it was never a method used in colonial America. The confusion likely comes from mixing up different witch-hunt histories from Europe and America.
Court records and historical documents from the time make it clear, but the myth continues, fueled by movies and TV shows.

Einstein Failed Math as a Student
“Even Einstein failed math!” This line is often used to comfort struggling students, but it’s simply not true. Albert Einstein excelled in mathematics from a young age.
He had mastered differential and integral calculus by the age of 15. The myth may have started because of confusion about the grading system in Switzerland, where a “6” is the highest grade, not the lowest.
Einstein himself once said, “I never failed in mathematics. Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus.” Stories of genius overcoming failure are inspiring, but in this case, the truth is impressive enough.----

The Great Wall of China Is Visible from Space
Many people believe that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made object visible from space. Astronauts and scientists have repeatedly debunked this claim.
The Wall is often too narrow and follows the natural contours of the landscape, making it hard to distinguish from orbit without aid. NASA photos and astronaut testimonies confirm that while cities and highways are sometimes visible, the Wall is almost impossible to see with the naked eye from low Earth orbit.
This myth likely persists because it’s a great story—proof of human achievement that reaches the heavens, even if it isn’t really true.

George Washington Had Wooden Teeth
George Washington’s dental problems are well-documented, but his famous “wooden teeth” are a myth. Washington wore several sets of dentures throughout his life, but they were made from materials like ivory, gold, lead, and even human and animal teeth.
Over time, these dentures would become stained, possibly giving the appearance of wood, but none were actually wooden. Modern analysis of his false teeth, preserved in museums, confirms this.
The wooden teeth myth endures, perhaps because it sounds so uniquely American—resourceful and tough, just like the founding father himself.
----------------------------------------
Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned
The image of Emperor Nero playing the fiddle as Rome burned is dramatic—but it’s not supported by historical evidence. For one thing, the fiddle didn’t even exist in Nero’s time.
Roman historians did write that Nero was away from Rome when the fire started, and that he returned to organize relief efforts. Some later accounts, especially by his enemies, accused him of singing or playing music while watching the city burn, but these stories appear to be more about character assassination than fact.
The myth persists because it’s a powerful image of callous leadership, but the truth is far more nuanced.

Thomas Edison Invented the Light Bulb
Thomas Edison is often credited as the sole inventor of the light bulb, but the reality is more complicated. Dozens of inventors in Britain and America were working on electric lighting at the same time, including Sir Humphry Davy and Joseph Swan.
Edison’s major achievement was improving the design and creating a commercially viable bulb with a long-lasting filament. Patent records and historical documents show a crowded field of inventors, but Edison’s marketing and business acumen helped his name stick.
Today, historians recognize the light bulb as a collaborative invention, even if Edison’s legacy still shines the brightest.

When was the first time you knew your dog recognized you as their person?
For me, it was when I went to pick up my best friend for a night out. She had been watching a puppy for someone who never came back to claim her. Since her daughter couldn’t keep the pup, she handed her over to my friend, who also wasn’t able to keep her.
So, I arrived and asked, “Who’s this?” as the pup leapt into my arms for a hug.
My friend replied, “She doesn’t have a name yet. I’m taking her to a coworker tomorrow to see if they’re a good match.”
The puppy, meanwhile, stayed by my side.
Alright, I’m heading out,” I said, as I walked out with the pup following me, hopping right into my car. She hugged my neck the entire ride home and was fast asleep by the time we arrived.
A little later, my friend called and asked, “So, are you coming back with that puppy?”
“Nope,” I replied. And that was three years ago.
Now, my little Penny and I are inseparable. She’s my lucky charm and my soulmate

Dear John
The latest edition of the Bournemouth Bulletin of Boners and Balls is even better than ever! Simply wonderful selection of delectable genitalia! The article on nude camping really attracted me. I’ve never been camping in the nude, but we do have a wonderful nudist beach up here in Northumberland called Ross Links. Probably not a busy as your Studland, but that’s probably because you have to walk for over a mile to reach it! It’s really breathtaking, with Bamburgh Castle to the south and Holy Island to the north: about four miles of glorious beach. The southern part of the beach is largely ‘textiles’, but to the north you can let it all hang out - and loads do. I’ve had some great fun in the dunes over the years, with some really memorable cock.
I hope you’re well and managing to deal with the inevitable morons that land on your front door mat! I’ll not call them arseholes, because that particular part of the anatomy has its uses! I always find that if gentle and logical argument fails to work, an emphatic FUCK OFF!! often does the trick!
Keep happy, keep wanking and keep cumming!
Hot hugs
Adrian
John: Love your politics and your anti Trump rhetoric. Gets my blood boiling on a Sunday morning and then I turn to the cock pic pages and take my anger at the state of the world out on my dick... ha ha and I really give it a good bashing and punnish it for all the evils of the world and at the end, all bruised and beaten, it gives up the ghost and limps back into my shorts begging for mercy.
ha ha
Ian
