What really obvious thing have you only just realised?

That the clock app icon on the iphone is an actual clock. The second hand goes around and everything!

I just found out how to open a thread at the Last Unread Post on the desktop site

How? I'm constantly clicking through pages to find where I left off.

The grey in Fifty Shades of Grey is a Mr. Grey, not the colour grey.
This is more obvious to Americans who would spell the colour "gray".

I thought the same until a few days ago.

Thanks! I thought that just brought you to the last post! Again::o

There's an arrow does that next to the name of the last poster. To get to the first unread post you want the tick on the left hand side, next to the name of the OP.

I never copped that Sudocrem smells like lavender, until I read the ingredients in a moment of boredom recently.

What?? Off to check out my tub of Sudocrem now

I know! It's 20 odd years since I first used it, and never realised it had lavender fragrance in it. Now smelling it, it's obvious

Is it bad that my oldest is 23 and I never noticed it either :eek:

You'd think that would have been obvious to me really , wouldn't you

It is a sad commentary on how mundane my life has become that I actually can't wait to get home to smell the babies arse!:D

Wispa is Cadburys, Aero is Nestle

Twirls and Flakes are essentially the same thing

A Twirl is just 2 Flakes covered in a chocolate layer, they both share the same ingredients

There is a subtle difference in the way that each chocolate bar "feels". Flakes are more crumbly whereas Twirls and more smooth. Equally delicious.

I'm so ****ing hungry.

Wispa bars are essentially just Aero bars with vastly more compacted bubbles. :eek:

Aero bars are a million times nicer than Wispas.

Speaking of chocolate, I always wondered why people pronounced Nestlé as 'nesslay', I thought it was one of those stupid Irish coinings, the same way santa is 'santy' but then one day I saw the accent over the e and my life changed forever.

And just to give the opposite perspective, a have a Nordie friend who says that everyone she knows pronounces it "Nestle" (as in the verb 'to nestle'). Apparently that accent means nothing to them :pac:

As a Nordie :rolleyes: myself your friend is full of it, if anybody pronounces it "nestle" they would very much be in a minority.

Don't forget that how it is spelt matters less than how people hear it said on the TV advertisements. You think people up north are repeatedly hearing it pronounced "Nestlé" on tv and then calling it "nestle" themselves? Nope.
