I learned today that the battle of Agincourt in 1415 was won by English archers who were so afflicted by dysentry, many wore nothing from the waist down so they could job on the spot.

I have just woken up, and I don't think I have learnt anything just yet, but yesterday I found out that it is cheaper for me to buy two single train tickets than a return train ticket. Don't ask why, it just is cheaper.

If only... to go see my girlfriend a return is £5, and a single is £4.50....

Until 1930, the inhabitants of the island of St Kilda (the remotest part of the British Isles) lived under their own form of democracy with a parliament meeting held every morning in the village street. Next please.....

I've learnt I have a peculiar and most useful set of specialist skills. And lack some more basic ones.

How's that for cryptic

That there is indeed a correct way to “do” the members of Girls Aloud.
Contrary to popular belief, Nicola (the ginger one) has to be third.
If she is at the beginning then you may well “fail to get the engine ticking” so to speak, if she is at the end then there is nothing left to look forward to.

This is also known as the “Sporty Spice Principle”.

i learnt that I can get a first class ticket from london to stafford then from stafford to liverpool for the same price as a standard ticket from london to liverpool. I don't even have to get off the train or change seats, I just have 2 tickets instead of 1. I also found a £5 return as long as I get the correct train.

That supposedly you can substitute the number in an MMS message for an email address and it will send it to the email instead. Though I haven't tried it.
