    I don’t know if it’s a national chain or not so this might be meaningless to some, but,

    Round here there’s a load of “Dixie Fried Chicken” low-rent KFC style take-aways, usually rammed with sozzled idiots at closing time. Well, it turns out that “dixie fried” is 50s Beatnik slang for “drunk.” Yes, it is quite literally “drunk chicken.”

    Yesterday my neighbour told me that the bit between your legs is called the “gooch”. I didn’t know that.

    We had a meeting at work recently to discuss sorting out a storage room. As it’s between the front doors and the back doors we concluded that it shall hereafter be known as the Perineum.

    Gooch, Taint, Biffing’s – it’s really called your perineum and it’s a fairly terrible place to get a wound, as is your sacrum.

    I know this because most evenings when we’re having dinner, my wife tells me all about some massive gaping pressure sore some poor old 80 year old has got and the frankly grim treatments for them.

    My go-to “little known fact” is that one of the few ships to survive the attack on Pearl Harbour was finally sunk by the British.

    Aaah! The “Teaboard” – My raison d’etre

    My go-to “little known fact” is that one of the few ships to survive the attack on Pearl Harbour was finally sunk by the British.

    USS Phoenix a.k.a the General Belgrano- The only naval ship ever to have been sunk by a Nuclear submarine in a conflict.

    Edited for pedantry. 🙂

    Denmark has an energy company called Dong, and it’s the biggest wind power producer in Europe.

    On the plus side they have just announced they are moving off all coal by 2023, after having previously dropped oil and gas.

    Chas and Dave!

    Sampled from this Labi Siffre track from the 70s, which the pub rock maestros did a lot of session work on:

    More pedantry then, as Chas plays the piano and Dave plays the bass which one was playing the guitar? (Yes, I’m sure like most musicians they both play multiple instruments).

    1/ The Emma Peal character in the Avengers was so named because the producers wanted a female with ‘man appeal’ – abbreviated to ‘M appeal’.

    2/ ‘How I wish I could calculate pi’

    If you count the number of letters in each word, you can remember pi to 6dp.

    3.141592

    3/ Because it has just appeared on a STW ‘Motability’ advert:

    The BMW roundel represents a white aeroplane propeller against a blue sky.
