A beginner's guide to beer drinking 1. One - Relaxed To most drinkers the first pint or whatever disappears almost unnoticed and will have little or no effect on speech/co-ordination etc. Conversation will be of the polite, perfunctory variety e.g. soaps, schooldays, sport and the price of net curtains, etc...Some beer-mat flicking will be in evidence, as the ice hasn't quite melted yet. Potentially a good time for the politically incorrect amongst you to tell a bad taste or sexist joke. 2. Two - Merry With the taste of that naughty little intoxicant in your mouth, the second drink is invariably downed at a much faster rate than the first, with everyone anticipating the revelry to come. Conversation will have picked up probably now touching on sports, soaps, and schooldays, what else is there? Oh yeah and in non-specific detail, sex. It's time to consider your first visit to the toilet, get a round of drinks on your way back. This is a good time to go to buy drinks, the bar will be easily accessible and if not everyone has shown up yet, you will get away with a smaller round, "enough said". 3. Three - Tipsy Inhibitions start to break down as the alcohol puts to bed the spoilsport part of the brain that controls reasonable behaviour. The urge to consume copious amounts of salted bar-snacks will begin about now and last right up until the first wave of nausea strikes. Conversation still on soaps and sports - however, the sex talk becomes more specific and of an "I'd give that one" nature. Still a weight off your mind, you will have forgotten all about the price of net curtains. Could be a good time for the first belching contest of the evening, boys in particular go a bundle on this type of competition. 4. Four - Half-cut Voices are without doubt getting louder and the same jokes are now much, much funnier than they seemed earlier. The incessant repetition of some dodgy comedian's redundant catchphrase will also never fail to get laughs... very poor. Hands on top of your pint, as anything else is an open invitation to get to have a bar snack thrown in it. The conversation now turns from the idle fantasy of 'partners you wished you'd had' to graphic detail of the 'partners you've had'. Hand/eye co-ordination is now on the difficult side, boys take care not to catch your foreskin in your zip fly. Some girls will be working up to the first of the evening's "nobody likes me - everybody hates me" tears in the toilet crises. 5. Five - Drunk Definitely, the best part of the evening, everything is funny and everybody loves each other, this is what social drinking is all about. However, it's all downhill from now on, as those deep dark primeval urges - such as the need to eat the flesh of a dead animal or more commonly to procreate, take over and man is driven to satiate these ancient desires come what may. 6. Six to Seven - Rat-arsed Anything you say from now on you will regret in the morning, that's if anybody else can remember what the frickin you were talking about, but mark my words, there's always one who will. Conversation will now be on a one-to-one basis, as nobody possesses the necessary social skills to interact with anybody but the person nearest them. Thoughts return to the flesh of the opposite sex, will they ever go away? Some people expound the theory that you always tell the truth when you're drunk, but I am more the opinion you always say whatever is necessary to end up in the pantyhose/y-fronts of the person you've got the most chance to do so with. Vomiting is now a distinct possibility, a clandestine tactical chuck at this stage of the evening is advisable as a public one later could ruin any chance of a meaningful sexual encounter and will also leave room for a curry. 7. Eight to Ten - Shit-faced (alternatively Wankered) It is now that time of the evening when your fellow drinkers undergo massive mood changes. Some people get aggressive when they've had one too many, particularly those whose drink you've just hoovered. Others get maudlin, teary and start to question the purpose of their existence of this planet. Hey, if only they'd realise that there isn't one and that having fun down the pub with friends is as close as it gets. Me? I know it's hard to imagine but I find I get even wittier, even more charming and better looking at this stage in the proceedings. Unfortunately, nobody else seems to notice the pissheads. 8. Ten to Fifteen - Esperanto For some reason you will find yourself totally fluent in Esperanto, however, nobody shares your bilingual talent. It is also quite possible that you'll fall over at any minute. What the hey, don't worry about it, if ever there was a time to fall arse over tit, this is it - it won't hurt in the slightest and if you've got any friends left in the morning you can proudly show off your beer wounds. By now your carnal wants will be replaced by the overwhelming desire to sleep in your own bed - if you don't live nearby, the pavement will look ever so tempting, particularly to back-sufferers as its orthopaedic qualities are well known. 9. Fifteen Plus - Clinically Dead You'll feel like you've been eaten by a wolf and spewed out over a cliff - but don't you worry about it, what better place to sleep off your hangover and try desperately to remember what the frickin you did the night before, than at work. Never again till the next time (or even lunchtime), mine's a pint and get one in for yourself - cheers then.

10 Weird Things That Prevented Body Snatchers From Ransacking Graves In the early 1800s, Britain and America found themselves in a whirlwind of scientific and medical discovery. The study of anatomy and surgery was extremely popular. This led to a gruesome trade in bodies, a practice which was mirrored elsewhere around the world. Grieving families could no longer bury their dead and expect them to remain that way. Resurrection men roamed churchyards late at night, looking for freshly dug graves. They would disinter the body, undress the corpse, and toss its clothes back into the grave before carrying it away into the night. After that, the body would be dissected, often in front of an audience, for the betterment of humankind. Obviously, some relatives took exception to this, and they came up with a number of ingenious ways to foil the body snatchers. 1. Mort Safes Mort safes were iron cages placed over and sometimes around the coffin to prevent it from being reached by the resurrection men. The cages were left over the graves for up to 10 weeks until the bodies were sufficiently putrefied that they were of no use for dissection. Sometimes, the cages were left in place permanently. 2. Iron Coffins Mort houses were fortified and guarded buildings used for storing bodies prior to burial to render the corpses unfit for dissection. Each mort house would store a number of bodies for a fee, and they would stay there for several weeks until the decomposition was advanced. The design of the mort houses was usually extremely secure. They were constructed along the lines of prisons and bank vaults. 4. Delaying Burial For those who couldn’t afford a place at a mort house, there remained the option of keeping the body at home until it had decomposed. It is unlikely that people found that to be a pleasant choice. Mourners would also mix the earth in which the body was to be buried with an equal measure of straw to make it more difficult to dig through. But with the elaborate measures taken by the wealthy for their burials, the poor dead were especially vulnerable. 5. Mort Stones Graves were most likely to be robbed in the first week or two following the funeral when the corpse was freshest and the soil in the grave had not yet been firmed up. As a temporary measure, mort stones were sometimes used to cover the top of the grave site. At Inverurie near Aberdeen, several mort stones can still be found in the graveyard. These large granite stones had the same dimensions as the plot and completely covered the coffin beneath. 6. Vigils Relatives often took turns sitting at a graveside every night for the first week to deter the grave robbers. Sitting in the dark beside a grave waiting for robbers to show up could not have been an easy task. But people were so afraid of the body snatchers that they did it. There was a popular view that a body had to be “whole” to enter Heaven. So the dissectors were therefore stealing not only the bodies of the dead but also their eternal rest. 7. Watchmen Those who did not fancy the task of sitting in the graveyard all night often procured the services of a watchman. The parish of Ely, for example, employed a watchman to be “constantly in the churchyards for the protection of the bodies buried.” In some of the larger churchyards, watchhouses were built to lodge the watchmen. 8. Coffin Torpedoes Among the more ingenious forms of burial security was the coffin torpedo. Patented in 1878 in Columbus, Ohio, by Philip K. Clover, the coffin torpedo was designed to “successfully prevent the unauthorized resurrection of dead bodies; and . . . be readily secured to the coffin and the body of the contained corpse in such manner that any attempt to remove the body after burial will cause the discharge of the cartridge contained in the torpedo and injury or death of the desecrator of the grave.” The torpedo featured an intricate mechanism that exploded “with deadly force” if the coffin was disturbed. Little thought appears to have been given to the legality of such a weapon. 9. Coffin Collars The coffin collar was made up of a very heavy iron ring mounted on a board of thick oak. This was secured to the base of the coffin with heavy bolts, thus rendering it impossible to remove the corpse without decapitating it and seriously reducing its value. This was a practical and comparatively cheap method of defeating the resurrectionists, and examples of their use have been found in churchyards in Scotland. The collars were not pretty and would have been very visible in an open casket. But they did give the deceased’s relatives some peace of mind. 10. Booby Traps On Graves The feeling against the dissectors was so strong that some mourners even went so far as to booby trap the graves. They set spring-loaded guns into the ground and embedded sharp objects. In Dublin, it was reported that a grieving father went so far as to plant a land mine in the coffin of his infant child. Whether the land mine was genuine is debatable. Certainly, no resurrection man took the trouble to find out. The passage of the 1832 Anatomy Act in England The feelings against the resurrection men ran high, with citizens demanding that something be done to protect the dead. The passage of the 1832 Anatomy Act in England and similar bills in America and elsewhere ended the trade in bodies almost overnight. It allowed for corpses to be obtained for medical research from a number of sources, particularly the poor and the unclaimed. Surgeons, medical students, and scientists could expand their knowledge of the human body while leaving the dead to their everlasting peace.

I Never Agreed... Two whales, a male and female, were swimming side by side in the ocean. Suddenly, the male whale spots a ship in the distance. He recognizes it as the whaling ship that killed his father. Filled with anger, he says to his female companion, "That's the ship that killed my father! Let's swim closer!" When they were close enough, the male said, "Why don't we swim under the ship and blow air through our blow holes and break the ship into many pieces? That will be sweet revenge," the female agreed. So they each took a deep breath of air, swam under the ship, and blew enormous amounts of air under the ship. The ship flew into the air and crashed back to the sea and broke into hundreds of pieces. The pair of whales started to swim off when they realized that the sailors were not dead, but clinging to pieces of wood and floating in the ocean. The male whale was furious and said to the female whale, "They're still alive, but I've got another idea. Let's swim around and gulp up all the sailors!" That's when the female stopped swimming, looked at the male and said, "Oh HELL NO!!!... I agreed to the blow job, but I NEVER agreed to swallow any seamen."

Like A Baby Two elderly men from a retirement centre were sitting on a bench under a tree, when one turns to the other and says, 'Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains.

Forty years of marriage A man and women were married for 40 years. When they first got married the man said, "I am putting a box under the bed. You must promise never to look in it." In all their 40 years of marriage the woman never looked. However on the afternoon of their 40th anniversary curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box were 3 empty beer bottles and $1874.25 in small bills. She closed the box and put it back under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly curious as to why. That evening they were out for a special dinner at their favourite restaurant. After dinner the woman could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying: "I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my promise and never looked. However today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the bottles in the box?" The man thought for a while and said: "I guess after all these wonderful years you deserve to know the truth, whenever I was unfaithful to you I put an empty beer bottle in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again." The woman was shocked, but said: "I am very disappointed and saddened but I guess after all those years away from home on the road, temptation does happen and I guess that 3 times is not that bad considering the years." They hugged and made their peace. A little while later, the woman asked the man, "Why do you have all that money in the box?" To which the man answered: "Whenever the box filled with empties, I cashed them in."

Rolex belonging to Steve McQueen up for auction A stainless steel Rolex Submariner said to have been owned and worn by actor Steve McQueen might set records when it comes up for auction this fall, despite the fact that the timepiece's history is somewhat murky -- although that hasn't deterred deep-pocketed collectors from paying eye-popping prices in the past. The Submariner, a 5513 model made around 1965, was formerly owned by Loren Janes, one of McQueen's long-time Hollywood stunt doubles, and is engraved with the words "Loren, the best damn stuntman in the world. Steve." Pre-sale estimate puts it at $300,000--$600,000, which would be a relative bargain if provenance could be proved. And it must be noted that the same auction house sold Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona, estimated at only $1 million, for an astonishing $17.8 million last fall; designer Ralph Lauren is among those rumoured to have placed bids. The world record for a Submariner, designed as a diving watch and fairly inexpensive when it first came out, was set by Christie's in June and stands at $1 million. Disputed provenance McQueen is said to have given the watch to Janes sometime in the 1970s after wearing it himself, but since both parties are now deceased this has proven difficult to verify. A letter about the watch purportedly penned by Janes before his death last summer, stating that McQueen gave it to him with the engraving, turns out to have been written by his daughter and contains some inaccuracies. Steve McQueen's Rolex Submariner 5513 will be up for auction at Phillips in New York in October 2018. You can read more about it here Auctioneer Phillips Watches wouldn't comment for this article or provide any further information, while the McQueen estate has said that it "disputes" the watch's provenance, without providing specifics. McQueen aside, the Submariner in question has an incredible backstory -- Janes' house was destroyed in the massive wildfire that devastated Los Angeles in 2016, and the watch was initially lost in the scorched wreckage. An enterprising Rolex and memorabilia collector urged Janes' family to literally dig through the rubble and find it, and then guided the almost obliterated timepiece's restoration, purchasing it from the family in the process. And though some important parts including the dial were replaced during the Submariner's refurbishment, the fact that it's still ticking is pretty impressive. "Any watch with a connection to someone like Steve McQueen has the potential to break records, but with a Rolex it's almost guaranteed," Paul Altieri, one of the world's top Rolex collectors and founder of online luxury watch emporium Bob's Watches said in an email interview. "It may not get close to Paul Newman's Daytona but all it takes is one bidder with a bottomless bank account to make headlines. Every time we think that the collectable Rolex market has plateaued, it manages to attain new heights. As investments they've proven to be just as good as classic cars and modern art." Still the top? But is Rolex still relevant, especially after the Apple Watch outsold the entire Swiss watch industry in 2017? Reginald Brack, Director of market researcher NPD Group, notes that despite this and "a worldwide shortage of steel Rolex as a brand is doing better than ever." There is now a waiting list of more than a year for its most popular models such as the Daytona and GMT-Master, the value of which has steadily climbed, and in some markets like Dubai it's nearly impossible to purchase a new Rolex at any price. Rolex's tight control of retailers and refusal to increase production has always helped maintain its exclusivity and aspirational appeal. Though official numbers are never released, the Swiss firm is said to sell about $4.5 to $5 billion worth of new watches a year, with billions of dollars more in pre-owned pieces are bought and sold as well. Meanwhile, the company has to wage a constant battle against a flood of knockoffs which are getting more convincing every year. Altieri says the Submariner owes its status as the world's most desirable timepiece to devotees like McQueen and Sean Connery's James Bond, who famously wore one on-screen.

Ellie Soutter: Team GB snowboarder dies, aged 18 RIP you little champion: Tributes paid to Team GB snowboarder Ellie Soutter as she dies on 18th birthday Tributes have been paid to talented young British snowboarder Ellie Soutter, who died on her 18th birthday on Wednesday. Soutter won a bronze medal for Great Britain at the 2017 Youth Olympic Winter Festival and carried the British flag at the closing ceremony. Writing on Facebook, her father Tony said he was "so proud of the beautiful young woman she had turned into". Her father added: "This cruel world took my soulmate and 'Bessie' from me yesterday on her 18th birthday. "Ellie, I will miss you more than you could have ever imagined. Rest in peace you little champion." Her close family is desperately seeking answers about why she wanted to kill herself. Her father Tony, last saw Ellie at 8am on Wednesday when he went to say goodbye before going to work in Les Gets. He went into her bedroom to wish her happy birthday but she was fast asleep. He texted her later that morning but there was no response. When he returned to their home for lunch in Les Gets, Ellie was not there. But by 6pm he still hadn't been able to get her on her mobile and it was her birthday. He also noted that her purse was at home. He called the police. Sniffer dogs were deployed in the search. They picked up her scent at the house and police then began searching in nearby woodland. It was 11.15pm when they found her. There was no note, nothing. She was somewhere you can hardly access. She must have just kept walking and walking. Police struggled to get there. Tony will scatter Ellie's ashes on one of her favourite mountains in Les Gets. On Friday night, family and friends had been due to attend a joint party to celebrate her birthday and her father’s, which falls on Monday. Ellie's career looked in jeopardy at the start of the year when she had to pull out of training and competing due to 'lack of funds' Her father had set up an online crowdfunding campaign to help her achieve this aim, which had raised close to a quarter of its 20,000 euros (£17,800) target. She was set to compete for Team GB in the junior world championships in New Zealand next month. Earlier in July, she was named in the senior GB squad for the snowboard cross Europa Cup circuit, and was tipped for a place at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Tributes poured in from friends and fellow snowboarders and skiers including her ex-boyfriend Oscar Mandin. Freeride World Qualifier Oscar, who remained friends after she ended the relationship last year, said she struggled with “bouts of sadness” but would always seek help from family or friends. He said: “I think sport was the thing that gave her smiles. That was her happy place. I don’t think this has to do with her snowboarding. “She would call me even after we were no longer together and ask for help in the form of talking about things. I wouldn’t use the word depressed. She was just sad sometimes. And she wanted to speak to someone who knew her. So we’d meet for a coffee and talk. But this time she didn’t call me. She didn’t call anyone. “She had had an unstable period but she’d got through that. So I was so shocked when I heard what happened. Eight-time British ski-cross champion Emily Sarsfield is among those to have paid tribute. "So sad to hear the news of the passing of Ellie Soutter. You really were an amazing girl," she posted on social media. "Such a fun team-mate, made me smile every day, cracking all the jokes and enjoying life to its fullest. I'm going to miss you and your amazing energy. All my thoughts to your family." Britain's 2010 Olympic skeleton champion Amy Williams said: "Such sad tragic news to wake up to. Thoughts and prayers go to Ellie Soutter's family." British slopestyle snowboarder Aimee Fuller said it was "devastating news", adding: "We've lost a fellow snowboarder and a great inspirational talent within our small community." British Olympic Association chair Hugh Robertson and BOA athletes' commission chair Ben Hawes said in a joint statement: "Ellie was an incredibly popular and well-liked member of the team. Soutter's bronze was Great Britain's only medal at the Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Turkey last year. Team GB celebrated her medal with the Twitter message: "Tears of joy and snow stuffed down her back." Speaking after her event, she said: "I cried as I crossed the line. I was just so emotional as it hasn't been the best season for me and it's finally on the way up. "I even asked my coach to put snow down my back when I was in the start gate. It helps wake me up so I don't feel all floppy like a jellyfish. "I just hope this isn't the last medal I win for Team GB. My goal is to compete at Beijing 2022." RIP Ellie Soutter
