Cheers cougar. In my defence I was three sheets to the wind at the time

As trivia goes, that's a good one.

many of the play ground rhymes we knew as kids (70's / 80's) were written by an advertising copy writer.

If that's not an urban myth I'll be very shocked.

If you leave a pub drunk, you're more likely to die walking home than driving.

I read somewhere that the NHS is the worlds second largest employer, with the Chinese Army being the largest.

Maybe I saw it on TV...I might have dreamt it, or perhaps I read it in this thread.

I don't think it matters if it's straight or has a slight curve in it, I doubt it affects the duration.

Barack Obama said in his inauguration speech that he was the 44th president of the USA. Even Wikipedia supports his claim, but he isn't. He's the 43rd. Grover Cleveland was president twice, but for some reason he's counted as two different presidents.

My dad is a laird, he (and I) are descended from Old King Cole, and our family was given land by Robert the Bruce.

You did ask for useless facts, didn't you? 😉

The Indian Railway employs more than 1 million people.

It's more likely to rain on a Thursday than any other day of the week.
And, if you average the number of friends each of your friends has, they will, on average, have more friends than you. Weird statistical anomaly that one, but I like it.

Maybe largest private landowner then, the FC being public body of course.

The Queen owns all the land in the UK. The rest of us are merely holding it in trust.

Bob Greaves went bonkers, and whilst in a mental home he tried to flush some puppies down the toilet.

I fear this may be a fib.

That is a true fact. One of my inlaws worked in the very same place where it occurred. He wouldn't knowingly hurt puppies, it was his illness.
