That there are a healthy number of people who sl*g others about supporting British teams and claim to have no interest in the Premiership, yet seem to comment on it religiously?

1. When barcodes are scanned, it's the white lines that are read, not the black one's.

2. Paul Merson is giving NFL predictions on Sky Sports News website.

Dublin bid for the 1936 Summer Olympic Games.

Most bids by a city that never held the Olympics:

Detroit 7
Budapest 6
Istanbul 5

London bid for 4 Olympics and were awarded the games each time (the 1944 games were subsequently cancelled due to WW2).

That Maltersers ad where the two female doctors in green scrubs are chatting at lunchtime.

For the last month I thought the script was this:

Doc 1: You know that knickers you left at my place that belonged to your Gran?
Doc 2: YEah?
Doc1: Well I might have accidentally worn it on the dancefloor with Jamie the other night, the really fit one, and he spun me around and... (flicks the malters on the table to indicate they fell off her)
(cue shock)

So after seeing this ad numerous times I only copped on she was talking about a necklace not knickersLOL

Was thinking how could someone be so stupid to ''accidentally'' wear dirty soiled granny knickers belonging to a stranger on a night out where she was planning on hooking up with some blokeLOL
