This transfer headline is 23 years old today.

The peak of sports journalism.

In 1969, a 23-year-old from Northern Ireland named Jack Keyes achieved a legendary feat by chugging 36 pints of beer in a single hour.

To put the pace into perspective, Keyes would have had to average one pint every 100 seconds for a full hour without slowing down.

When Guinness World Records retired all alcohol-consumption categories in 1989 due to health and safety concerns, Keyes’ unfathomable achievement remained the unbeaten, permanent record.

Just to put things in perspective.

The average state pension in Spain is higher than in the UK.

The cost of living in Spain is 33% lower than in the UK.

Spain's equivalent to our council tax is about a tenth of what we pay in the UK. And they get daily bin collections.

Where's our money going?

Paris Saint-Germain joins an illustrious list of clubs, including Swindon Town, Luton Town, Birmingham City, and Leeds United, that Arsenal have lost to in major finals.

We love it COYR

You better believe it...

1. IN the 1400s, a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb, hence we have 'The rule of thumb'.

2. Many years ago, in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden', and thus the word GOLF entered the English language.

3 Each King in a deck of playing cards, represents a great 'King' in history;

Spades - King David

Hearts, Charlemagne

Clubs, Alexander the Great

Diamonds, Julius Caesar

4. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bedframes by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress support tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on, hence, the phrase 'Goodnight, sleep tight'.

5. It was accepted practice in Babylon 4000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son in law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the 'Honey month', which we know of today as the 'Honeymoon'.

6. Since 1966, English fans have said they are going to win the cup at the start of every football competition, hence the phrase, 'Deluded twats'.

THE TRANSGENDER SONG:
(To the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands")

If a person has a penis, he's a man.
If a person has a penis, he's a man.
If he doesn’t want to lose it,
Even though he doesn’t use it,
If a person has a penis, he's a man.

If a person has a nutsack, he's a man.
If a person has a nutsack, he's a man.
He can tuck it to conceal it,
Let it dangle and reveal it,
If a person has a nutsack, he's a man.

If he amputates his bits, he's still a man.
If he grows a pair of tits, he's still a man.
If the chromosome’s a “Y,”
He will always be a guy…
If he isn’t born a woman, he's a man.

Tell the truth…you sang along. 😜
