Offline Is it not normal to have a coat of arms?
It might just be an Anglo, Hibernian thing but everyone I know has a family crest- mine is incredibly boring and the motto equally as.
Now the real question is….is your motto posh and in Latin or boring and in English or ancient and in Cornish/Gaelic/Irish whatever.

If I remember correctly, my family have their own tartan pattern – not that I can remember what it is.

Offline I don’t think ours has a motto, just the shield, crest, and family name.
Can’t speak for Down Under but on this side of the pond, knowing your ancestral coat of arms is kind of unusual.

Yeah it’s unusual here too. I only know it because my mum is a historian…

My grandfather, who was English, was very happy and proud us grandkids were Scottish and I have clear recollections of him telling us often about the tartan that was in our family history. But then I have clear memories of seeing ‘Spectre’ in the cinemas in 2016 when it came out a year earlier.

Offline Harland and Wolff, the Belfast shipyard (which built the Titanic…yeesh), is still going!
It only employs 79 people now but it has just been bought by an energy form, saving it from collapse.
I would have thought it folded decades ago but here we are.

2. Only female mosquitoes bite animals.
3. The only reason mosquito bites are considered dangerous is because the transfer of human blood from one body to another.

I knew the second, but never heard the first and third. Makes sense. Mozzies, as @The Hole Got Fixed would say, are basically little flying hypodermic needles, without the fun* of doing drugs.

Offline As someone who’s had to get bloodwork done a number of times, it’s a little itchy but you don’t really notice because you’re more focused on how painful it is, especially when you can’t find the vein and have to reinsert it.
