I only realised recently that the 8 digit number I have for my online banking for about 13 years contains my birth date... ddmmyyxx.

Okay, maybe not obvious to everyone, but should have been obvious to me :rolleyes:

I'm constantly surprised by my own ignorance. Others are not, which is a worry..

My posts on After Hours are neither insightful or witty.

I used to think Washington DC was a state. I don't mean I thought that Washington DC was in Washington state. Fook! America is confusing.

The punchline to "Why did the chicken cross the road" has a second meaning....

"The other side" - I did laugh at myself when i realised this a year or so ago - I'm 35.

That Montreal, being a French speaking country, has a French meaning. Mont Royale. And I love French. :pac:

There's loads more that always hit me...e.g. diabolical being a word relating to the devil, and once it was demolition being related to demolish. I also love English. I can be so slow sometimes.

You don't need to type www. before many well known websites. Boards is one

I spent years and years typing www. every time

Only copped on this year and was treated like a fool by someone I told :rolleyes:

That my weird thing making noise in my closet every time someone took a shower was, in fact, a 'shower pump'. And, without said 'shower pump' it would be impossible to take a shower.

It's going to be a dirty, smelly Christmas for me.

'To get to the other side'. 'Other side' = afterlife. Why did he cross the road? Gets hit by a car. Bam. Dead chicken.


So is it really a harrowing tale of a suicidal bird?
