Title: Did You Know....

Did you know....
1961 was the most recent year that could be written both upside-down and right side-up and appear the same. The next year that this will be possible will be 6009.

Did you know;

If you DRINK AND DRIVE in San Salvador, Your punishment could be DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD!!

A bit more of a deterrent than a shoching TV add.

Maybe the others changed it from Hitler, not being the most popular name to have. Imagine changing it to Saddam Hussain or Osama Bin Laden-- What a Choker!!!!john.n ;D

Eek, 2am! You need to get yourself a 9-5! What do you do, Richard?

Saddam is a pretty funny name. I wonder if people call him Sad for short. Probably do now.

I went to the docs today.. she referred me for an MR brain scan. Said i'd pay to go private... it's prolly gonna be about a grand : ( but this is what credit cards are for. This, and Scorpios.

Did you know, some of our neighbours are having a baby? Isn't that great?

That reminds me I used to do nightshifts. Ick ick ick. Must have worked my way through every microwavable meal the world has to offer. Nothing but mars bars and autotraders to wile away the small hours. Why are they called small hours? They're probably the longest hours ever.

And we had carol singers last night. Ho!
