Just had a look Colchester is still the current longest but is in 2 parts...I'm not sure that it should really count in that case, Gloucester has the longest continuous one.
FFS it's sad on here. :)

We have fingertips, but not toetips…however, it’s possible to tiptoe, but not tipfinger…

I am however, getting the urge to define what tipfingering is right now...

Rasputin had a daughter, Maria. After her father's assassination in 1916 and her subsequent exile, Maria moved around the world, working as a cabaret dancer, circus performer and animal tamer.
Her animal taming days ended in Miami when she was attacked by a polar bear. At the end of a lengthy hospital recovery, she decided to leave the profession.
She staunchly defended her father's legacy until her death in Los Angeles in 1977
According to Maria, Rasputin was a "simple man with a big heart and strong spiritual power, who loved Russia, God, and the Tsar." As opposed to being a charlatan, deviant, and king-whisperer that was hell-bent on power.
She wanted her children to be proud of their grandfather, and wrote three biographies to support that position.

This is interesting to me only
Merlin was aloof for years , had two teeth taken out earlier this year and is now a soft and gentle love bug , cuddling me all the time . The thing is he has had all his checks and vaccinations etc where they looked at his teeth as a matter of routine , i took him when he couldnt eat his biscuits then back again when the metacam didnt really help
They wanted nearly two hundred pounds to sedate him and look further back but i insisted someone come in and hold him tightly and have a look, she got her torch out and saw at the back two discoloured teeth
They stung me for £800 to have them out! Cheeky cunts

In 2015, New Zealand man Nigel Richards won the French Scrabble championship despite not being able to speak French. Instead he memorised the entire French Scrabble dictionary in nine weeks.
To prove it wasn't a fluke, he won the same tournament in 2018. He still cannot speak French.
Earlier this month he beat 150 competitors to win the Spanish Scrabble championship despite not being able to speak Spanish.
After nearly three decades of playing Scrabble competitively, Nigel Richards is widely viewed as the best Scrabble player of all time, with some chalking up his skills to his photographic memory and ability to quickly calculate mathematical probabilities.
Intensely private and swift to turn down interviews, very little is known about his personal life.
