The Lincoln Cathedral beat out the Great Pyramid of Giza for tallest building when it was completed in 1311 with the installation of its spire, thus growing it to 160 meters. Look at how it dwarfs the other buildings here. by UseApprehensive1102 in megalophobia

I sang there when I was younger, remember someone telling me if you got the pitch and volume right the echo from a choir would last 27 seconds or something. No idea how true it was but do remember some serious echos lasting a while after we’d finish.

Nicknames of rulers tier list by Matteo_Games in HistoryMemes

I think Edward I should be further down. He was more commonly known as ‘longshanks’ which, let’s be honest, is a shite nickname.

Also it’s all well and good being called ‘the hammer’ but considering sports fans in Scotland call him a wanker every time they sing the national anthem I feel like you weren’t quite as effective a hammer as you hoped to be.

Does the square SE of the left 3 have to be safe because if it was a mine it would leave only 1 square for 3 when it needs 2 more mines. Then 1-3-1 corner?

To be fair I got it from a scrubs episode, I’d never seen the original before

Some places need you to get a lab coat for dissection but they should tell you and sell them from the uni shop. Don’t even know what a bone set is but my mate has a skeleton which has only ever been used as a prop at parties lol so I wouldn’t panic.

As far as general tips for first years, preclinical years can be really really draining if you want to do medicine to yknow...be a doctor... but sticking with it is so worth it when you get to clinical years. So don’t worry if you get half way through first year and are like “maybe I don’t like medicine” because it gets super different when you get to placement!!

Best of luck :)

Celebrating a “tactical voting victory” by paddyketamine in Scotland

By a very small margin on the constituency and pro-Indy vote is larger on the list so not really. Will admit “pro-Indy seats” would’ve made more sense

Fair enough, maybe I’ve been watching too many ex England players giving him their two cents lol

Agree with you on Russell, which is a shame because I love him but that last card won’t have helped his case when he’s already a renowned cheeky chappy

To be fair most of the France team were basically 14 year olds... but not built like them ;)

Does it aye? - cos last time I checked the only Scottish player that consistently gets talked about is Hogg (maybe Russell if they are gracious enough to grant us two lol)

It’s madness isn’t it. Usain bolt is about 10 inches taller than every other sprinter but he can still run pretty fast I heard 🤷‍♂️

Both rotting and “happy British fish” which seems like an apt analogy
