A Suffolk virgin is a plain girl who can run faster than her brother. It is known.

She turned up at the fire station after that London tower block fire with a load of cake, which seems like a nice thing to do.

She's married with a baby. Does that make her constant output of hard-luck dating songs a bit weird? Why yes, it does.

Snark rather than snobbery, surely?

People in the north of England say exactly the same about the SNP

TOS represented the beginning of the Federation as a swaggering, confident galactic power who were exploring the galaxy rather than struggling to survive. They'd stuffed the Romulans back into their box, fought the Klingons to a truce and gained hundreds of new worlds.

Don't worry about it - once they're all in nursing homes and we're in their position, imagine the pop culture mileage we'll get ragging on them for being so square?

They found Friday's crashed ship in South Africa, and agreed to accompany him back to Mars in it in exchange for gold and gems that could supposedly be mined there (using his awesome laser) - when in fact they were unwittingly helping him resurrect his hibernating species

There was a whole black regiment, the West Indies Regiment, in the late 1700s. Though they were still officially classed as 'natives' and weren't afforded the status of full Regulars.
