Beloved ‘Harry Potter’ Star Robbie Coltrane Dies After Lengthy Illness
Robbie Coltrane, the Scottish actor best known for his role as Hagrid in the Harry Potter franchise, has died at age 72, his agent confirmed on Friday.
Coltrane’s agent Belinda Wright confirmed to The Daily Beast that the actor died in a hospital near his home in Larbert, Scotland.
She added to the BBC that Coltrane had been ill for the last two years, but she did not disclose what the illness was.Born Anthony Robert McMillian in 1950, Coltrane’s breakout role was in Jimmy McGovern’s Cracker series, in which he played Dr. Edward “Fits” Fitzgerald until 2006. He won several British Academy Television Awards for his role as the criminal psychologist who solved crimes.
Coltrane also starred in two James Bond films but he shot to international fame playing Rubeus Hagrid, the half-giant-half-wizard Hogwarts gamekeeper in the eight-movie Harry Potter franchise.
Found this interesting article by Marie Claire Dorking· Here’s the interesting bits and pieces and a few ad ons.
Over or under? Why hanging toilet roll ‘the wrong way’ is a health threat
You might not realise it but the world is divided into two distinct camps: those who hang the toilet paper in the ‘over’ position, and those who put the roll in the ‘under’ position.
People aged between 45 to 54 were most frustrated with seeing the toilet roll on the holder the wrong way, with 25 to 34 years olds uncovered as the least frustrated with making the bathroom error.
So here’s the way it should and shouldn’t go.
It’s worth noting at this stage that there is actually an officially documented ‘right’ way to place toilet paper onto the holder, and it seems that those in the ‘under’ camp have been hanging their toilet paper wrong this entire time.
The “1891 patent for the toilet paper roll” (yes, that exists) literally states that the end of the roll should be hanging off the exterior. In other words, the patent, created by the inventor of toilet paper Seth Wheeler, reveals the correct way to hang toilet paper on the holder is actually over. Sorry under folk.
There’s a more important reason why toilet roll should be hung correctly.
Hang toilet roll the right way for good hygiene
Aside from some niggly family arguments between the over-people and the under-people, there’s actually a pretty important reason we should be taking note of Wheeler’s patent, particularly in recent years – cleanliness.A study performed in 2011 by the University of Colorado found that 19 different types of bacteria were found on a range of surfaces in bathrooms, and we know that COVID can live on surfaces for up to 72 hours.”
The moment when a toilet user’s hands are most likely to carry bacteria is when they reach for toilet paper.
If the toilet paper is hung over their fingers, they’ll only touch the toilet paper that they’ll be using, which will subsequently be flushed.
However, if the toilet paper is hung under there’s a good chance their fingers will brush the wall as well, leaving a deposit.
If so, every subsequent toilet-goer who reaches for the paper runs the risk of not only of picking up the bacteria that’s been deposited already, but also leaving more for the next user to pick up.
“When you put the toilet roll on the bar so that the paper hangs under, you increase the risk of touching around to get the paper from underneath,” Charalambous summarises.
“It’s also normally closer to the wall in this position, which increases the risk of coming into contact with bacteria and droplets on the wall surface.”
Charalambous says if you are unfortunate enough to go to the toilet after someone who has COVID-19 and the toilet roll is under, not over, you are increasing your chances of coming into contact with the virus.
“There is also a reason why toilet roll bars that have flaps on have the flaps going over, not under,” she adds.
Other than wanting to stay well generally, hanging the roll in the under position can also increase the risk of spreading E-Coli and other nasties.
In their defence to getting it wrong all these years, those who believe under is the correct way to hang the roll argue that it looks more aesthetically pleasing as well as being more environmentally friendly.
They believe that putting the toilet roll under results in you using less toilet paper as the paper doesn’t roll as easily.
But even if they do have a point (are you in this camp?), in terms of the official patent and cleanliness over-people can definitely chalk this one up as a win.
If, after learning what science has to say about the direction you hang your toilet paper, unders still refuse to become overs, the very least they can do is not be that person who leaves the roll empty.
Sounds a great name to me!
