Has it? I'm about a decade behind but I've just found so many songs I thought were gone forever:

The Spinners (as in the Liverpool Spinners) not all of them but a few.

The Kelly Family!

Funky Green Dogs!

I'm well away. I'll be here all night 😂.


Are you laughing at my ineptitude @Miss.Chanandler.Bong or my hideous eclectic song mix? 😁
The Kelly Family! I was starting to think I was the only person who remembered falling in love with an alien...

Simone Cowell really wanted Baby one more time for Five and told Max Martin a person with a name like Britney Spears would never have a hit

TIL the CIA declassified material on one of the coolest subjects: parapsychology’s use in the military i.e. using psychics to spy behind enemy lines.

Follow the link for the pdf and what is sure to be a fascinating read 😊


ETA: This is my favorite fact in the world, until I can re-find the one where the British used a psychic to target the equipment of their enemies

I learnt this a while ago, but I think I can still post it.

Billie Jean King got the King from her husband Larry King.

TIL PETA once purchased the minimum number of shares required for them to speak at the annual Starbucks meeting so they could share their objection to the company’s policy of charging extra for non-dairy milks.

Ooh and this tidbit. WILD.

The Crown owns rental properties in London too. Fascinating.

in a similar vein, a woman whose daughter was knocked off her bike and killed by a lorry, bought shares in the lorry company to ensure measures were taken to minimise blind spots on their vehicles.

That the spiral pasta is called "Fusilli" and not "Fuseli"
I've always pronounced it Fuse-Lee
Nobody has ever corrected me 😂
And I never pay attention the the packet, I see the shape and pick it up

Wasn't until I saw a tiktok the other day and she says "I've got some Fusilli pasta"

Huh what? 😂
I've been calling it that for 20+ years. Why has nobody corrected me.

Just googled what a beetle drive is. Bugged me (no pun intended) since i was a kid. Im disappointed now i know. The first person to draw a beetle, adding body parts after each throw of the dice. Sounds incredibly boring.

I used to love that game when I was little! Bear in mind I was a child pre internet, iPhones etc!!

In the early 60's a beetle drive was held in our village hall every Friday night along with a pie and pea supper. Highlight of the week and the hall was packed.
