The collective noun for a group of rats is a 'mischief'. Lovely 

There are some great collective nouns. I particularly like a crash of rhinos.

I can't remember where I first heard it - it may have been on here actually - but someone once said the collective noun for a group of white men is 'a podcast' which got a good laugh out of me.

Today I learned that you now need to fill in a customs declaration to send a package from England to the North of Ireland. Fucking Brexit.

David Ross who played Kryten in the second series of Red Dwarf, and voiced Talkie Toaster in the 4th and 11th series of Red Dwarf amongst other things is from Blackburn.

No offence but I genuinely laughed out loud reading this. Probably the most worthless thing I've ever read in my life. I'm struggling to think of a fact that could have any less value or interest to humanity.

That's because you're not from Blackburn. I totally get how insignificant it is to anybody else.

As a fellow Blackburnian (well, a Guider to be precise), I found it interesting.

To be fair, David Ross ranks along way below Ian McShane & Steve Pemberton in the fame league.

This is very true. Always amuses me to think that Royston Vasey is based on Darwen. Did anybody ever tell you about them abandoning plans to film League Of Gentlemen in Bacup? Allegedly the locals had hear that Neil Morrissey was supposed to be in it, and the day they'd arrived to start filming loads of people turned up with a cup of tea for him. This is only what I heard from my tutor in college, and he spent most of his time getting stoned with the cool kids. 

Turns out it was true. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/6092239.town-league-scares-off-tv-crew/

Also, one of the blokes from off of out of Blancmange is from Darwen.
