    I hope Matt Ellis didn’t drink a whole “standard glass” at each. The average person can only metabolize one of those each hour.

    Then imagine Andy Capp going to 51 pubs, mooching for a pint in each one, getting into brawls in each one, and then booted out from each one all in the space of 24 hours.

    I’ve wanted to see that film “Lamb”, it looks so weird. Maybe this new lamb can appear in “Lamb 2: Electric Boogaloo!” Uhh, I hope the poor thing doesn’t get headaches…

    Speaking of rain, as the RBION drawing about Dubai is, here is a joke about rain.

    Jane and Arlene are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain. Jane pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking.

    Arlene: What in the hell is that?

    Jane: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn’t get wet.

    Arlene: Where did you get it?

    Jane: You can get them at any pharmacy.

    The next day, Arlene hobbles herself into the local pharmacy andannounces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what size, texture, brand of condom she prefers.

    ’Doesn’t matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel.’.

    Until next time.

    Matt was doing this to raise awareness of the sector’s plight during the pandemic. He only had to drink 1/4 pint in each pub and he had 24 hours to do it…

    A one-man 24-hour pub crawl? Where else but England?

    Sam had a sheep with a leg sticking out of it’s head and how long did it take him to notice that?

    Would I get on Ripley’s if I went to 51 pubs and drank a glass of soda at each?

    OK, so a Lamb with a leg growing out of its head is weird. But the guy lives in a place called Orroroo!

    Yes, but they were soft drinks.

    Take care, may respected Tasmanian lamb whisperer Angus “The Devil Made Me Do It” McThord be with you, and gesundheit.

    “Matt Ellis for a new world’s record!”

    “What was the old record?”

    “There was none. No one ever did anything that dumb before”

    Matt Ellis — Not something of which to be proud. You could surpass this record in Key West in less than an hour.

    Matt Ellis’ “feat” should not be publicized. A Boy Scout was killed and I was one of several injured because a man decided to track down his wife, who was going from bar to bar. He would stop at each bar and have a drink before going to the next one. He was extremely intoxicated in much less than 24 hours and 51 bars. He plowed his car into our troop while we were on a hike. It’s too late to remove the article now, but I hope nothing like it appears in a future “Believe It or Not.”

    Wait a minute! You mean to tell me that pubs are open 24 hours a day in England? I’m living in the wrong country!! In Ontario, Canada I believe it only legal to get a drink in a bar from 9AM until last call at 2AM. To hit 51 bars in that length of time you would have to visit 3 bars and have 3 drinks per hour. Unless they are all really close together that is going to cost a fortune in cab fare. “Please don’t drink and drive”. And you would probably be showing signs of getting too drunk at some point in the evening and be refused service to boot.

    Services were held for Matt Ellis the following week. He did not need to be embalmed before the burial because he was already pickled. Believe It of Not!

    The fifth leg sprouting from Sam Kuerschner’s lamb’s head in South Australia was found to have been caused by electrical charges released into the air in Dubai. Believe It or Not!

    I don’t know whether to be impressed or extremely worried about Matt Ellis’s feat – please tell me he didn’t drive himself to all of those pubs

    I’m now suddenly wondering what pubs were open between 2:00am and 8:00am?
