Today I learned...

[Surf Digby]

Today I learned that my eyesight is no longer sharp enough to skim read labels.

I also learned that all spice is not the same as mixed spice.

Tomorrow, I will learn just how interchangeable these two things are.

Today I learned that Sade of Smooth Operator / Your Love Is King fame is the name of the band and she isn’t a solo artist.

To be fair it is also her name... So easy mistake to make!

Yeah, I didn’t realise it was a Marilyn Manson/Alice Cooper type deal. Or the first two PJ Harvey albums.

In a dabble into the world of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon meets the UKFF: my friend Simon went to school with Sade in Clacton, and although he doesn't live in Vietnam, him and his family are the reason I support Millwall, hence my username.

Frank Leboeuf is in The Theory of Everything

If you like random footballers appearing in Hollywood movies, ex Scotland manager Alex McLeish is in Stan & Ollie. 

And don’t get me started on Escape To Victory.

Well not anymore.

Fucking hell, now they're going to have to change all of the syrup boxes, and syrup inspector uniforms. Selfish sods, can't they think of a struggling country for once.

The rationale given seems a bit tenuous. Fairly sure most people buying it did so because they wanted golden syrup, not because Abram Lyle was a Bible-basher. I'm atheist, and I put the stuff in my porridge or Weetabix because I've a sweet-tooth; I don't feel holier for it (though my teeth could end up that way if I'm not careful).

TIL, that when moving into the middle lane to overtake on a motorway, there is no requirement to indicate  when returning to the left hand lane. I always do and my car has one of those lane management sensors where it beeps judgmentally at you if you change lanes and don't indicate.
