The Big Bell End

Product Information

Inside the tower is an oak-panelled Prison Room, which can only be accessed from the House of Commons, not via the tower entrance. It was last used in 1880 when atheist Charles Bradlaugh, newly elected Member of Parliament for Northampton, was imprisoned by the Serjeant at Arms after he protested against swearing a religious oath of allegiance to Queen Victoria. [30] Officially, the Serjeant at Arms can still make arrests, as they have had the authority to do since 1415. The room, however, is currently occupied by the Petitions Committee, which oversees petitions submitted to Parliament.

A ventilation shaft running from ground level up to the belfry, which measures 16 feet (4.9m) by 8 feet (2.4m), was designed by David Boswell Reid, known as "the grandfather of air-conditioning". It was intended to draw cool, fresh air into the Palace of Westminster; in practice this did not work and the shaft was repurposed as a chimney, until around 1914. [20] The 2017–2021 conservation works included the addition of a lift (or elevator) that was installed in the shaft. [21] The glans penis develops as the terminal end of the genital tubercle during the embryonic development of the male fetus. The tubercle is present in the embryos of both sexes as an outgrowth in the caudal region that later develops into a primordial phallus. Exposure to male hormones ( androgens) initiates the tubercle's development into a penis making the glans penis anatomically homologous to the clitoral glans in females. [6] [7] The glans is more commonly known as the "head" or the "tip" of the penis, and colloquially referred to in British English as the “bellend”. The medical name comes from the Latin words glans ("acorn") and penis ("of the penis").

A stinging rebuke coming from a resident of another of Britain’s most rude-sounding streets. But, in the reluctant Bell Enders’ defence, the Minge Lane case is subtly different. Stephen Young does not live on a road simply called “Minge” and he might not be so sanguine if he did. That’s what gives Bell End its unrelenting suggestive power: the fact that there are no other words involved. No “Road”, “Avenue” or “Street”. Bell End’s name is 100% bell end, while Minge Lane is less than 56% minge. a b "Bong! Big Ben rings in its 150th anniversary". NBC News. Associated Press. 29 May 2009 . Retrieved 1 June 2009.

Although the sex of the infant is determined from the moment of conception, [6] the complete external differentiation of the organs begins about eight or nine weeks after conception. [41] Some sources state that the process will be completed by the twelfth week, [42] [43] while others state that it is clearly evident by the thirteenth week and that the sex organs are fully developed by the sixteenth week.
