It's a thing you sit at and press the white keys and the black keys and you get these sounds appear.

Very Airplane! but you should have finished with 'but that's not important right now'.

Ah, thanks - I was racking my brain trying to remember where that was from.

No, but it would be bloody.

Do you know that's not a very helpful answer?


(hint: I've set you up for another dad joke)

At least one forumite reads posts from here to his missus.
Jeez, I thought my home life was dull.

Astana is now known as Nur-Sultan.

Since March 2019.

That completely passed me by!

Yes, Nursultan Nazarbayev resigned as president and they named the capital after him.

He was the first president, and the constitution says that president for 5 year term, maximum of two terms but that the "restriction shall not extend on the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.". So he did 29 years.

Useful clause.

I just realised that someone who sews is spelt the same as a pipe carrying sewage. Not a big discovery.

I've just learnt that sewing seams is stressful.

That my godmother (89), whose sister worked at Bletchley Park during the war, once had a meal with Alan Turing, and found him very charming. She was only reminded it of it recently when she saw his picture on a £50 note.

AC Milan was started by two Englishmen and originally also had a cricket team.

What's a £50 note?

I think I read that the first international match in any sport was Canada vs US at cricket.

Yep, true

Cricket used to be the no.1 sport in the US

Both ITV and BBC covered the 66 World Cup final so there's a second TV commentary in which 'Hurst may make it three, he has!'

Never heard that before

Yes, hence the St George's flag in the emblem.

Braking distances are halved on single lane blind corners as you have to account for the oncoming traffic. Managed to avoid the head on collision but was still braking as I punched the wing mirror and came off. Lesson learned the hard way.

Ow. Hope you are OK (apart from needing a sit down and a cup of tea).
