Bullfrog males. Serious creatures

Ovens don’t necessarily reach the temperature it says on the dial unless you’ve a really fancy one called Miele/Wolf/Viking/Thermador.

Cars travel up to 5kph slower then it says on the speedo

And Gardai speed guns have a 10% variance. So your dial could be showing 110kmph and you’d not be caught over the limit in a 100 zone

Correct and right

115

clock your car with a gps nav app on your phone

10% i thought?

No I think its about 5kph chief.

Ovens are also female.

The USSR were thrown out of the 1974 World Cup by FIFA after refusing to play the away leg of their play-off against Chile in the National Stadium in Santiago, which was at the time being used as a murder, torture and prison camp by the evil dictator Pinochet against supporters of the heroic democratically elected Presidente and all round great guy Salvador Allende.

I’m genuinely astonished I didn’t know this previously.

I’m even more astonished you didn’t know that. It being one of the most well known geo-political football facts of all time. Up there with the time Honduras and El Salvador went to war after a World Cup qualifying match.
