Hitler gives relationship advice?!

You may have asked yourself, “where did women go for relationship advice before Dr Phil and Dear Deirdre came on the scene?” Well ladies and gentleman, the answer to this is none other than the leader of the Nazi Party -Adolf Hitler!

That’s right! Herr Hitler was once a marriage counsellor who dispensed relationship advice to his hoards of female minions.

Unbelievably in September of 1937 Hitler addressed 20,000 women in Nuremburg and advised them on how to secure happiness in married life. He told them that, “whether the two sexes want it or not - and they do want it - they have got to live with one another some how, and that is probably the best thing for married couples to remember.”

Oh that’s great. How insightful of you Fuhrer! We have to live together somehow!? How do you propose we do this then?

"What is needed is cleverness, common-sense and consideration."

So basically:
  1. don’t be stupid
  2. don’t share a bath with your toaster and 
  3. agree to lie in the wet patch from time to time. 
I think I’m sorted now Adolf, thanks! Not to worry though, I’m sure if i don't meet these criteria you'll have me killed anyway.

Do you think Eva Braun was in the next room giving sex tips to the male Nazi minions?!

Glasgow Drunkenness

From an article i found today in the Scotsman dated 3rd August 1853: 

"There is no drunkenness in the world so beastly and brutal than a Saturday night's drunkenness in Glasgow. 

"...Groups of excited men were fighting here and there; scores were zig-zagging along in a state of tipsy exhilaration and..swinish beatitude." 

Not much has changed in the last 157 years then! Plus, the newspapers are STILL moaning about it!!
