I'm setting up this thread for all those useless pieces of information you pick up in pub conversations or late night discovery channel and would like to share with fellow forum members.
For example one I picked up in the pub on Satuday night:
Did you know former Beatle Ringo Starr has made more money out of Thomas The Tank Engine than from the Beatles?
Don't know how true it is but who cares!
Another example could be:
Did you know Bandage's sister is also his cousin?
[Disclaimer: May not actually be true]

That hands that do dishes are just as soft as your face with mild green Fairy Liquid.
A little bit a thread hijack here but there’s this ad at the moment that is really pissing me off (pardon my profanity). It’s that Ulster Bank one where they're going on about fee rip-offs and the guy goes in a big bogger accent, ‘A tenner for the slide. That’s crazy.’ It’s been bugging me also what programme the guy’s been in. Fair City? Glenroe? He was in something but I can’t put my finger on it. Can anyone help me?

He used to be a bar man in Fair City. Think Jason was his name. Ad never really bothers me, however I’m sure Ulster Bank could do much better considering the calibre of staff they have at their disposal!

A daddylonglegs has enough venom to kill a human but doesn't have the teeth to do the damage.

The magnetic North Pole is about to swing 180 degrees and will then be situated in the current south pole i.e. Antartica.
Santa Claus will be on "Location, Location, Location" soon.

Sticky, thought you said you were never coming back to the site as a result of the decision of admin and moderators to 'sticky' the home and away thread a while back!
Seems like you missed us? Terribly?

Humans are about 1cm taller in the morning than the evening.  Layers of cartilage in the joints get compressed during the day. |

during an average lifetime a man will spend 3,350 hours removing 8.4 metres of stubble. That's almost 20 weeks. What a fooking waste.

North Korea will become South Korea- you'd be shattin yourself if you live in Seoul, as GWB would have you in the Axis of Evil then! Paisley will tell Dublin to keep out of the affairs of the South- it would be too hard to comprehend a topsy turvy world. |
