My 4 year old is obsessed with 101 Dalmations, I feel like I have seen it a few hundred times. I only realised today that Cruella De Vil's surname is the word devil split in two.

That you can have a happy life but somehow feel down every Christmas over the past. It's becoming too much of a pattern for me to pass it off as 'a bad Christmas'

I have an unbelievably excited 4 year old and you cannot fathom how excited Christmas morning will be, also just got engaged, life is good. This week is just messing with my head, and has done for years now.

In the song "What a Wonderful World", the line after

"The bright, blessed day"

is not

"The dogs say goodnight"

That people are more inclined to like you if you like them
but less inclined to be in love with you if you are in love with them

Actor who plays Charlie Bucket is American. Always thought English.

And it's not even filmed in England but Germany.

When I was a kid I thought 'ridiculous' was 'really dickulous' for some strange reason... Never copped on til the second Harry Potter film came out

I always thought Bing Crosby was CGI'd into that Little Drummer Boy video with David Bowie. Apparently that's not the case.

May have been mention already but only realised that "bae" actually means before anyone else.

MPFGLB · 26-12-2015 12:07AM

Just now

Always thought it was

"Mr Brown goes off to town and he ain't 21"

For a years I thought it was

" Giant ships are sailing ...walking on the moon"

I have always gotten song lyrics wrong

Not really an obvious thing, although I suppose most people who are into comedy do know this fact about the stillers..

Leo Varadkar is a doctor who has worked on hospital wards? :eek:

I think it came up before, that he never actually worked. I think it was mentioned that he studied or trained on wards..

A mongoose isn't a bird, it's a meerkat-like animal that catches snakes.

I mean, it doesn't come up much, but any time I've ever heard or read the word, I essentially pictured a large goose.

The letter W is double U, both saying it and writing it.

What about jimgoose? Is he a bird or is he a meerkat-like animal? How is he at catching snakes, I wonder?

I think a jimgoose might be more closely-related to goosebumps.

Does he have seriously long arms, and a talent for squeezing bums?

If I'm travelling in, say, a northerly direction then obviously I'm going towards the north.
So why then does a "northerly" wind travel in a southerly direction??

I guess what goes for politicians goes for wind too - where you've been is more important than where you're going.

Sorry for mentioning politics again.

What really obvious thing have you only just realised?
