Things I learned today (Part 1)

There was a well known American singer/ songwriter called Vic Chesnutt. Was wheelchair bound. Died a decade ago or so.

All the Dublin players have a personal piano tutor. Apparently Philly McMahon does a mean Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. All this coaching money needs to be spent or we could lose it.

Hon Trump!

In 1989, the cash-strapped Soviet Union paid Pepsi with 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate & a destroyer in exchange for $3 bln worth of Pepsi. This caused Pepsi to become the 6th largest military power in the world for a moment, before they sold the fleet for scrap recycling.

Im not sure about this so Iā€™m guessing a little that the care labels (washing instructions) for garments are always sown on the inner lower left of the garment.

Believe it or not but I figured this out myself. When I asked two female close relatives to confirm this I was greeted with confused faces and was then accused of being sexist assuming that a woman would know.

I sussed this as on most modern T-shirtā€™s the label in the inner neck area is now printed and as a result is less visible. Resulting in me putting on my T-shirt backwards numerous times.

Iā€™m now guided by the care label, always keeping it to my left and am having 100% success of late.

You will thank me for this the next time you put on a printed T-shirt especially in lower light conditions.

It was on a casefile podcast too

Do you have to.put it on then before reading how to wash it?
What if itā€™s someone elseā€™s ?

You miss-understand. This is just an aid to help you put on your T-shirt correctly first time. You could also impress your wife with this information.

May also be of help to adulterous individuals who might arrive home with their T-shirt inside out or back to front or both.

This is merely a guide to enrobing speedily and correctly.

Anyone with a young child surely knows this too with vests and baby grows. Think it has even been on the fatherā€™s thread!

Itā€™s to help blind people put on clothes.

I wouldnā€™t have seen that. I rarely visit that back clapping thread.

Iā€™m surprised my two female close relatives werenā€™t aware of this as they normally know EVERYTHING.

Campbell Island is the nearest place to Limerick.

So I googled Campbell island and see we even get a mention on their Wiki

The island is listed with the New Zealand Outlying Islands. The island is an immediate part of New Zealand, but not part of any region or district, but instead Area Outside Territorial Authority , like all other outlying islands, other than the Solander Islands. It is the closest piece of land to the antipodal point of the United Kingdom, and Ireland, meaning that the furthest away city is Limerick, Ireland.

Campbell Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
