Numbers on a phone key pad are the opposite layout on a PC keypad. So number 1 is top left for phone but bottom left for pc keyboards and calculators. 

People are so used to changing between the two that they dont really notice!!

Claudio Taffarel was clubless ahead of the world cup in 94. He also has 17 children (15 of which are adopted)

I know people in their mid 20s who've never seen Fr. Ted.

You'd make a reference and they would look at you with the blank expression.  And you would have to explain to them and they'd be ''oh right.  I've never seen it''

I'm the same age as him and I've only seen a few clips here and there.

Bottom and The Young Ones are probably way better anyway.

I don't think there is not a sitcom that can touch Only Fools to be honest. The wife can't stand it!

Love a bit of Seinfeld and Father Ted but Only fools no.1 for me.
