    Like a long lost brother that you eventually tracked down to Rampton secure unit type brother you mean?

    It might snow at the end of the week.

    Which is interesting.

    My eldest is 17 on the day we play Leeds. Old enough to drive a car. That could be interesting.

    She also gets to spend the morning of her Birthday playing football vs the team that ditched her last season, Sheffield Chuffing Wednesday. That could be interesting.

    We're also investigating having our garden re-turfed. I might spend a bit of time watching that instead of logging on here.

    Did you know, there are 52 different types of wood screw?
    Interesting, though possibly not entirely accurate.
    I'd be interested to know the precise number though.

    Don't use turf, use seed. That will make it even more interesting.

    If that's correct, you could have a different screw every week for a year. Now that really would be interesting.

    Very interesting month indeed. I have just started a new drug to treat my long term disabilities, which will hopefully mean I can attend matched more frequently. I've picked up 3 new and interesting contracts to further my career and I also pick up my new car!!! Cant wait !!!

    Good thinking. Hours of additional fun.

    Did you know that a Polar Bear has black skin underneath its transparent fur. I thought you'd find a snow related topic mildly interesting.

    Why is snow white anyway? Didn't Jay once ask that? Can't remember what the answer was. Snow is extremely interesting. I love it.

    Need to make sure you don't use the older models though. They can lose their tread. The younger wood screws are much more efficient, and worth infinitely more. Nobody has heard of the old ones anyway.

    Here is an interesting fact.

    The lift and elevator company Otis used to have its Uk headquarters in Reading.

    I think it's white because Sky sports bought all rights to snow, and they decided it should be white.

    So I'd say that's fair enough.

    That's a very interesting piece of advice. I'll bear it in mind.

    Do you know that when you catch the sheffield to Poole train, (which calls at Chesterfield, Derby, Birmingham New St, Birmingham International, Coventry, Leamington Spa, Banbury, Oxford, Reading.Basingstoke, Winchester, Southampton Parkway, Southampton, Bournemouth, Broclehurst, and Poole), when you go into Reading Station, you come out the opposite way. I.e. If you're facing forward on the way in. You'll be coming out backwards. Interesting.

    Why did you put a full stop after Reading (former home of Otis) instead of a comma? And doesn't Brocklehurst have a k in it? And can you get left handed wood screws?

    Basic errors. Sorry. Although maybe Brocklehurst might be more interesting without the 'k". You know, all rebellious, like people who spell "Mark", "Marc" ?
