‘I came on to say who killed the princes in the Tower of London and was Elizabeth the First really a virgin. But I guess we’re talking different types of mystery.’

Richard 3, no.
You’re welcome.

Why Donald Trump keeps wearing that orange face powder

he must have read the reports as he is so self obsessed

surely he can afford a good makeup artist

I reckon Henry Tudor was behind the killing, and the subsequent cover up.

I have it down to Margaret Beaufort, his very ambitious mother who wanted her son to become King and would do almost anything to achieve it, I can never decide if I admire her strength, she was 13 when he was born, or if I think she was an awful battle axe.

I would like to know why small children have to be woken up from deep sleeps on Monday-Friday mornings, but open eyes naturally at 7am on the weekends?

Where the other sock goes? I knew I put both socks into the washing machine but only one came out 🤷🏻‍♀️.

This. I just don't get it. How do the socks escape the machine.

What happened to Findus pizza fingers

I was ever so excited to find them in Farm Foods last week! Ridiculous really seeing as I’m 53!

I watched a programme about the two Princes in the Tower recently that posited with documentary evidence that they were released/escaped from the tower and spent their time in Europe as young men trying to get an army together to invade England. They had significant support from European royalty.
One of them was possibly killed in a subsequent battle in England after such an invasion/uprising. (There were some minor invasions during the reign of Henry VII.)
But as we know, history is written by the victors.

I saw that too, as my late mother used to say 'One tale's good until another one's told', I tend to believe whatever I saw/read last! I've lost count of the number of times I've changed my mind about the Kennedy assassination.

Also I’d like to know why my husband refuses to throw old diaries away. From 2012!!!!!

Are we talking the kind of diary in which he poured out his innermost thoughts and feelings in the rich tapestry of his life at the time; or the kind that says "Dentist at 2:30 on Thursday 8th" and "Car in for service on 3rd November"?

I'd love to meet the person who designed the taps for the sinks in public toilets that require you to hold one hand on top of the tap at all times whilst you desperately try to rub the other against itself. I'd ask them if they realise how many hands the average person has, even if they personally maybe have octopus genes and are blessed with additional ones.

Then I would take them around to the infinitely smarter person who designed the taps that stay on after a quick press for 20 seconds or so and invite the latter to reward the former with an atomic wedgie for all the misery they've inflicted on the world of toilet-users.

Why don't the lids ever fit the tupperware?

On top of your head? That's where I usually find mine.

I have a brilliant video of DW adamant I'd hidden her glasses. The video shows they were on her face.

What was in Compo’s match box.

Are you an oldie too? Last of the Summer Wine is my morning treat, it makes me very homesick for the Pennine Hills. I've often wondered about that too.

HoneyWogan · 05/03/2024 21:20

Also, it isn't my thread, so I don't get to dictate; but speaking personally, I'm really enjoying the mixture of earth-shaking historical mysteries alongside the more mundane household ones about losing socks and tupperware.

Please don't apologise for your perfectly valid (imho) interpretation of the question posed in the OP.

Salemforcuddles · 05/03/2024 21:21

Why when I park, with loads of spaces on either side of me, do I come out of the supermarket and some fucker has parked right next to my door?

I want to know who the people are who pick up their dog's poo, put it in a poo bag and then fling the poo bag into a hedge or a tree.

Why would anyone do that?!

If you're a poo bag flinger, please explain yourself.

Or leave it hanging on a branch or fence 🤢🤢

I would like to know where my Pandora bracelet has gone.

Also, come to think of it, does anyone know my fb password?!

One that’s only of interest to me, but I’d love to know who stole my GCSE English coursework folder in 1998, resulting in my receiving a lower grade than I should have. Who the fuck does that?

I think that's the least of his problems! If he is convicted and given a jail sentence and he also wins November's election will we have a cross between The West Wing and The Green Mile?

I want an octopus-shaped glasses holder now.

Why does the car in front of me, when approaching a green traffic light in rush hour traffic (when I'm late for work), slow down to about 7 mph, so that they get through before it changes but I don't? Drives me absolutely INSANE!

Why do my kids put empty packets back in the cupboard?

Where are all the decent single men?

This. I just don't get it. How do the socks escape the machine.

When our children were small I recall cleaning the inside of the car properly, seat tipped out and so on, the number of socks I found down there, was well as a toxic mountain of half eaten biscuits etc, was amazing.
