Although I don't know how to use Instagram, I do have an account to follow some tech and true crime bloggers.

Anyway after viewing these, you get some random things showing up.

Anyway one was a tech gadget, a banana cleaner.

All I can say is if you don't know what it is don't Google it from work.

If my wife had seen me googling it I would have been in trouble, it's definitely NSFW.

I can't believe how out of touch I am.


Forgot to mention, what I learnt was it isn't a banana cleaner.

That the HP in HP sauce stands for Houses of Parliament
I only knew this because when I was little, I used to visit my nannas house on a Sunday and she always had HP sauce on the table (my granddad used to add it to his Sunday dinner!). I asked once why it was called HP and they told me it stood for Houses of Parliament and that was the building on the label. It's one of my few memories from going to their house - that and their Trimphone :)

When colour television started becoming widely used, the head of programming at the BBC noticed that it was quite hard to see tennis balls against the coloured background as they were white. He had them start using bright yellow balls instead, and it became the standard ball used in the sport across the world.

That head of programming, the man responsible for yellow tennis balls? It was only David Attenborough !

someone on here posted a video where someone had paid the woman from Tiger King to wish their “dear friend” Jimmy Saville a lovely birthday

In 1913, Hitler, Trotsky, Tito, Stalin and Freud all lived in Vienna within 2km of each other!
They should have made The Real Househusbands of Vienna
