Fact Me 'Til I Fart

As you may have noticed, I've been writing down one thing I've learned each day for the past seven-and-a-bit months, but the truth is that I usually learn a lot more than that in your average day - and today was as average as it gets. To celebrate, here is a dispassionate list of stuff I have learnt:

1. Dostoevsky is spelt Dostoevsky, not Dostoyevsky as I had thought.

2. 'Crime and Punishment' is about a crime, and the related punishment.

3. The weekly team meeting has been cancelled.

4. If you want extra cheese in your Reggae Reggae sub, it'll cost you 30p extra.

5. The Primark in Wandsworth's Southside centre carries an overwhelming aroma of B.O.

6. The Primark in Wandsworth is closed to those trying to enter the store a full quarter of an hour before the actual closing time, even if you're only nipping in to get some boxer shorts.

7. The 44 bus from Wandsworth to Tooting Broadway takes longer than advertised on the timetable.

8. The Pepsi Max draught pump in Tooting KFC has run out of syrup.

9. My old uni mates' band have made a video, with proper acting and everything. It looks like it cost more than Dizzee Rascal's video, which is a bit weird.

10. The rented DVD of 30 Days of Night is officially copyable.

11. As a siren approaches then moves away, it sounds to the ear as though the pitch changes. This is known as the Doppler Effect.

I thank you.
