    Things I should have known before now...

    https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/im-forever-blowing-bubbles---the-story-behind-famous-west-ham-chant/v2c0pje1uewx170vlhczghgxx I mean *I* should have known that before now. But it has been confusing to me when the likes of steox post Cockney Rejects songs.

    Kinetic energy dance floors, for electricity generation. Damn, why didn't I think of that.

    Margaret Heffernan the author of business books is not, in fact, Margaret Heffernan of the Dunnes Stores dynasty. Two different Margarets. I suppose that reveals my underlying prejudice when it comes to women in business.

    Wow, I have been laughed at for saying that as if it was an interesting fact that you don't know. But they all knew. I feel your pain.

    I tried to set up a fantasy football account, because I thought that'd be a laugh. Turns out I have at least three gmail accounts. Thought I only had two. One must have been just borne of a mad frustration whenever I last bought a phone or something. Messy. A smarter man would make good use of...

    That's amazing. I can barely get my lad to keep the incontinence in check. #youknowyouregettingold.

    When I worked in Dunnes there was a certain kind of person who bought grated cheese. A nouveau riche, unimaginative, thisiswhatI'msupposedtobuy type. They'd be the same kind of people who'd pick all the olives out of the greek salad in the salad bar and buy round steak for frying because it's...

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/14/developer-dismisses-b-52-crash-radiation-fears-at-proposed-site-of-spanish-resort Also, only found out about this a few months ago: "On 28 February 1958, a B-47E of the 310th Bombardment Wing developed problems shortly after takeoff and jettisoned...

    I know I'm talking mostly about chain restaurants here, but even then you can tell if the cook/chef cares about what their doing or not. And the guys making this food almost certainly don't care if their working in those conditions down the back of a grimy industrial estate being told what to do...

    Dark kitchens. Apparently, all around the place, landlords are renting out warehouses which are taken up by the likes of Pizza Express. So when you order your food off Deliveroo or Uber-eats or whatever, it's actually coming from a warehouse factory type operation, not necessarily an actual...

    Pur lines makes a lot more sense somehow. Now my head is thinking to purloin something is a related word. But I dunno. We need an etymology thread!

    My local cinema would show things about two weeks before it got into Xtra-Vision. Good old days.

    One such manly man showed me some basic splicing once. His dad died when he was young, and he was quite short, and no one respected him much, so he had a bit of a complex about manliness. Anyway he shows me the splicing technique and says "basically, it's the same thing I do when I'm with my...

    I have heard this, probably from my mum. I guess my male brain wouldn't associate something "girly" like knitting with something "manly" like building stuff. But then I know manly men who work in rigging or boats or mountaineering and are very proud of their manly ability to splice ropes...

    Google it. I can't do a "weh weh weh" emoji on my own posts, or at all. Re: Purlin/purling. When I next get a chance I'll to explain (like an expert genius on everything/smug prick) to someone at work the difference between purlin and purling, I will say that I assumed it was purling because I...

    Google is great to have and all, but it does make me feel damn stupid sometimes. The name Google itself is so called because of a spelling error. That comforts me. Not as much as being a billionaire but.
