		<description><![CDATA[When Tolkien removed all  mention of Floppy Baggins  from the Lord of the Rings he became the forgotten hobbit.

The reasons were never fully explained but I have my suspicions.
Floppy Baggins wasn’t very bright, indeed, his last known meaningful synapse coincided with the completion of his potty training – rather like the staff at my local [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Darren, a caveman, liked to spend a few days alone about every four weeks: he crept away on the days when, for some reason he couldn’t fathom, his little Mirabelle got very ratty with him.
He was getting a tad bored on the other side of the hill and decided to practise folding large leaves, twisting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fine art of Spadgering has unfortunately been largely forgotten [apart from some pockets where the sport is still practised in rural areas on the East coast of England (Ar, that’ll be Norfolk then. Lo,TG Ed)] so I thought it would be worth recording the main rules although I played the game only a couple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Many years ago this extreme sport was only conducted in secret; the darkened beach huts along the coast of Essex showing no signs of activity to the casual passer-by.
Of course, as we all know, it gradually came out of these shore-line closets and became very popular with professional and amateur alike.  The unforgettable efforts of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Winnie-the-Pooh was first published in 1926. Of course, he was quite old already – A.A. Milne took ages to get round to writing about him.
I have always hoped, as no doubt you have, that I was related to Mr Sanders.
I have undertaken some extensive and thorough research and have some really wonderful news.
No doubt you [...]]]></description>

Ugh the Caveman was very fond of biscuits. Not gingernuts of course, that would be ridiculous. They were an oatmeal confection cooked in hairy mammoth fat [...]]]></description>

He left out the derivations of certain words and the reasons why they are associated with time.

		<description><![CDATA[The Forth Bridge

The Forth Bridge was built by Sir William Arrol &#38; Co. between 1883 and 1890. Sir Benjamin Baker – &#8220;one of the most remarkable civil engineers Britain ever produced&#8221; – and his colleague Allan Stewart, received the major credit for it&#8217;s design and were responsible for overseeing the building work. During its construction, [...]]]></description>

The first tortoise Olympic Games were held in 1832.
The use of a cannon to start the long jump was banned in 1909, when Archibald &#8216;Cara Pace&#8217; Thomas the Third couldn’t be found after the event. (Avid Reader, you&#8217;re thinking the time scale doesn&#8217;t add up &#8211; a strict time table cannot be adhered [...]]]></description>
