TIL Beck and Jeff Beck are not the same person.

RIP Jeff Beck, though I never knew you at all!

I didn’t learn anything new today but I did tell my Mrs that California was 10 days behind us. She obviously didn’t believe me at first but when I told her to ring her brother and ask him (I text him to warn him) and I got our 9 year old in on it. I think I’ll have to tell her I’m kidding or I can see her going into work and telling everyone she’s learnt a new fun fact 🤣

That before Whoopi Goldberg found fame she was a morgue beautician
She was also a bricklayer according to Chat magazine a few weeks ago...

Can confirm, unfortunately…we had chickens that would peck at our dog’s poo in the garden if we didn’t clean it up immediately. They would pretty much eat the whole thing if they had the chance, even though they had plenty of their own food available. I never ate their eggs 🤢
Oh God, this is worse than when I found out they eat slugs!!!!

I wasn't sure that was right when I read it as I thought it was something to do with it being the signature sandwiches of the sports club. So I googled.

"The club sandwich is also known as the Club House Sandwich. It originated at the Saratoga Club House, an American gentlemen's club in Saratoga Springs, near New York. It is the late 1800s, and the clubs are exclusively for men."

That Gary Mavers used to come in my local for a drink with his mate Mark Moraghan who was in Brooky, caused quite a stir as they were both hotties back in the 90s!!

In old cemeteries, the giant gravestones that look like they’ve been cut in half/had the top of them topple over, are actually meant to look like that! They represent a life cut short too early, aka a young person.
Also the stone urns with fabric over them apparently represent the thin fabric between real life and heaven/dead/haunted? Life

And this is why I don't purchase eggs from my neighbour down the road, who touts her chickens on the local WhatsApp group, as 'free range' when trying to sell their eggs, but also has two huge huskies, which share the same space.
When I was 13 I, amongst many of the local kids worked weekends at a local egg factory (back in 1980s) it was a battery farm place and some of the things I saw there that put me off eggs for a long long time!

That making your own sourdough starter and sourdough bread is not worth all the hassle, and that it is expensive to buy for very good reason.

The La's first album (same name) is a cracker.

It’s not that difficult once you get it going tbh, but if you have a clean freak partner they’re going to want to get rid of it sooner rather than later. In my experience
