30% of Irish folk who set sail for America during the potato famine died on the boats and their bodies thrown overboard.
The boats were called "Coffin ships"
The journey lasted four months and was three thousand miles.
Wow didn't know that. You learn a little everyday.

I knew a lot of these but also didn't know some, like
Hyunday, Ikea, Huawei, and some I'd not heard of before.

Looks like Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have fallen out big time.
I never liked him, talentless and insincere.
By all accounts he's not very popular at all backstage.

There was something despicable in the way he stated that his brother was dead to him after the paedo claims. If that was my brother, I'd be disgusted at what he'd done but he'd still be my brother. It might have been better if he'd just kept his mouth shut and not tried to be so desperate in putting career and fame first.
Holly Willoughby is now showing that same desperation to save her career. It's all luvvy shite if you ask me.

I have never been struck on either.
A bit like Ant and Dec, they seem to believe they are Gods gift to TV. There must be more talent out there than to keep relying on people who, frankly, don't seem that nice off camera.

Kevin Sinfield kisses his former Leeds Rhinos team-mate Rob Burrow as he carries him across the finish line of a marathon which started and finished at Headingley Stadium, Leeds.

I don't watch morning TV...I have read that his days are numbered though.
It does seem that quite a few other 'celebs' are happy to kick the man now he is down.... Karma?? or is it just that people love to see others when their star starts to fall?.

I don’t respect Philip Schofield. Lauded for being “brave“ for coming out at 60. Not damn brave enough to do it before he had carved a long career and made his money. There are millions of braver gay people who have come out without such a safety net. He’s a coward.

I thought his wife was a lot braver to withstand all the flack she got for standing by him.
If he only came out because he was about to be outed as being gay...I agree, he is a coward.

That’s true - I’d forgotten his hand was forced.

All the weeping that accompanied his 'coming out' was cringeworthy. Anyone would think he was channelling Oscar Wilde back when it was illegal and considered shameful.
