Much later, in my early 20s, sitting in the pub, I broke out the 'fact' that cheese hums in the fridge at night due to bacterial action - that's what the humming is when you open the fridge door. My mum told me this when i was a kid and I just never questioned it 😳
Of the 4 blokes who are my bosses, there is one buffoon, one fool, one numpty, one smart arse, and one BOC.

[i]Lots of towns & villages in wiltshire have a "slab lane" - apparently it's where the mass graves were located during the great plague[/i]

I just found out that Word's DOCX file format is a glorified
ZIP file. Change the extension to ZIP, unzip it, and you'll
