There is apparenly a need for a general politics thread and a general football thread but no one mentions the desperate need for a General Custer themed thread so here goes, I will also show the connection with NFFC:
Generally, custard is a thixotropic gel which means that if you were to shake it it would liquify. This is a trait shared by such diverse substances as mud, blood and manuka honey,
“Mud blood and honey” is also the title of a song by the band “Love over anger” who have over 2600 likes on facebook. While they may not be my cup of tea musically, you must credit them with (however unwittingly) creating a song title that is made up solely of three thixotropic substances. As far as I am aware that could well be the only case of such a thing happening in the entire history of song writing!
Interestingly other things that have thixotropic properties are muscles in as much as they become stiff when they are held still but soften through movement. The protein that gives this property to muscles is called conectin (or titin)
Regulation of crossbridge cycling:
Crossbridge cycling refers to the “sliding filament theory” which explains how muscles contract caused by muscle proteins that slide past each other and create movement. And how is this regulated? TITIN!
So what does all of this have to do with General Custer? Well, some but not much to be fair - but it does have some very strange and tenuous links with the town / village of Watnall.
You see many years ago my mate used to work in that god forsaken p-lace, at British Bakeries (which was formally known as Blanchard’s I believe?) which made among other items: egg custards. He also at one time worked at “General Plating” a nearby establishment that made fancy coloured metal stuff (I think).
Do you begin to see a connection here? GENERAL plating + egg CUSTARD? Not convinced there is something strange going on here? Well read on…

Well one evening the very same mate I was just telling you about was on his bike somewhere near the two workplaces I was telling you about and he ignored the “No cycling“ sign over the foot bridge that I think was somewhere near there (I can’t be bothered to check but I’m almost sure it is) so guess what happened? He fell off the bike, banged his knee and all of his muscles went floppy. (And apparently according to eye witnesses the accident was caused by him "Titin' about")
Still not convinced? Well if you draw a line between British Bakeries, and General Plating it might well pass directly over the bridge I was taking about! Not just that though. If you then join the two points of those two workplaces on a map to the historic site of “the Battle of the little Bighorn” it forms a perfect (but extremely sharp, pointy) triangle. (Not unlike the head of a very sharp arrowhead?)
Well still don’t think there is something strange going on here? Well did you know that according to Lieutenant Edward S. Godfrey who saw Custer’s body after the battle: Someone had shoved an arrow up his penis!!!
What’s the chance of there not being a connection there? Almost none according to my calculations. So what's the connection with NFFC? Robin bloody Hood sheeple!
