    I’m 51. I have no idea which Gallagher brother is the singer and which is the other one.

    I’m pretty sure they both sing. You must be thinking of Ant & Dec.

    Up until the age of around 23, I didn’t realise local anaesthetic was just designed to numb the area where surgery or dental work was being performed. For some reason I assumed it was some form of locally sourced, sustainable anaesthetic, in the same sense as something like a local cheese or beer.

    Don’t ask.

    I thought reindeers were mythical creatures for the first 18 years of my life.

    I know the difference between Ant and Dec. I couldn’t tell you which one is Noel and which one is Liam, and i don’t know who was lead singer, who was writer etc.

    It's taken me nearly 50 years of watching football to realise referees are biased. For nearly 50 years I blissfully and naively thought they were impartial, and that to win a game of football your team just needed to be better than the other team on the day. :)

    Arkansas is "Arkensaw". Took me living in the US to figure that one out.

    Yes, I only found that out last year. To add to the confusion, I believe that the river is pronounced phonetically.

    I find that many local beers do, in fact, have a general anaesthetic effect on me.

    Surely it’s pronounced Kansas?

    The ‘Ar’ is silent.

    For the thick people amongst us (me) are these two posts a joke?

    The ÷ sign isn't a random symbol, it's literally a fraction.
    Only discovered that a few months ago.
    Ok then next question for us thick lot is how did people think Arkansas was pronounced? Ar-kansas (as in Wizard of Oz) or ark an sass? Or something else?

    I've only ever known it as arkensaw so can't really picture it as anything else.
    Also the river is pronounced the same as the state isnt it?
