Who Did Vice Magazine Describe As A Mop-Haired Moomin?

This was a question on "The Chase". The answer was Boris Johnson. I've googled to find confirmation of that, but without success. I've searched on the Vice website, but when I searched for the whole...

Who Is The Woman In The Suzuki Adverts Used Recently In Gogglebox Breaks?

I think that she looks a bit like Belinda Lang (2.4 Children). I've googled, of course, but all I get are the two elderly women on a bench.

How Did They Dicover That The New Vaccine Has To Be Kept At -70 (Or -80)?

I have heard -70 and -80 mentioned on TV reports. Which is it? This is much colder than any freezer is capable of. How are they going to store this vaccine at such low temperatures? And how did they...

Unfair To People Who Don't Use Or Want A Smartphone

I don't have a smartphone. I don't want one. But some photo printing companies offer 50 free prints a month with an app that can only be used with a smart phone. Why can't they or won't they offer me...

Kylie's Secret Night

Do you know where the programme was filmed? It looks a bit like a Nissen hut with tinsel.

Sinnfein Mps Paid?

Are Sinn Fein Mps paid? I heard that the members of Stormont are paid, even though they've not done a day's work for three years.

I, Er, Wonder Why All The Soap Coversations Begin This Way

I only watch Emmerdale and Corrie, which is two too many for some people, I know. But it seems to me that all conversations in these two soaps begin in one of two ways. The first is "Are you OK?"...

One Word In Russian

I have just learned that the Russian word 'mir' can mean 'world' or 'peace'. How can a Russian know what is meant when he sees the word (in Cyrillic characters)? How can one word have two such...

Do Schools Fine Parents For Taking Children On Holiday During Term Time?

By what right do schools fine parents for taking children out of school during term time? Perhaps 'fine' is technically the wrong word. I thought only courts could fine people when an offence,...

Practical Joker

Back in the 50s I read a story, probably in one of the Wide Range Reader Books, about a man who persuaded all the men on a ship crossing the Atlantic to let him shave them before they arrived at New...

I Cn't Find My Sent Emails From Last Year

Last year I sent a round robin Christmas letter to several friends by email. I am with BT/Yahoo mail. I wanted to know to whom I had sent the emails, so I did a search. The only one I came up with was...

Inflation Calculation

I'd like to know what £1000 20 years ago would be equivalent to today. I've been online, of course, but the calculators don't give me what I want to know. To be clear, what I want to know is the...

H G Wells "the Invisible Man"

I've just read "The Invisible Man" by H G Wells. My book was printed in 1940 by Collins. A few words puzzled me. Since it was written in or about 1897 this is no surprise. In chapter 7 Wells writes: "...
