What have you learned this week?

[The Bloop]

Members of this board are actually able to have a debate about Christianity, without it resulting in a name calling slag fest.

[Former Labour leader]

And Elvis recorded it as well

Something else you’ve learned.

Got both on my playlist. Stafford's version the better.

Ive just finished a history of the United States and thought I’d share with you the following

The Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition of the territory of Louisiana by the United States from France in 1803. In return for fifteen million dollars, or approximately eighteen dollars per square mile, the United States nominally acquired a total of 828,000 sq miles which effectively doubled its then size.

The US asked Francis Baring and Company of London to handle the sale and bonds were sold to bankers and institutions in London to raise the funds.

Ironically England and France were at war and Napoleon used the money to finance his war against England with English institutions providing the wherewithal

My contributions would be:

1. The Spanish word for 'suck' is 'chupar'. Hence Chupa Chups!

2. Every Covid-19 particle in the world at present would fit in a wine glass.

3. The subject of alternating ovary ovulation is more complicated that I first thought.

4. No 1 singles in the UK pops charts of 50 years ago (i.e. for the year of 1971) started with 'Grandad' in January and ended with 'Earnie' by Benny Hillin December - and Chirpy Chirpy Cheep was in the mix in the middle of the year.

5. The list of No 1's in the album chart throughout the year had a bit more gravitas about it: George Harrison, The Stones, Floyd, ELP, The Who, Zep, Deep Purple and Rod Steward all having basked in success.

That based on your answer to 2) any illegal lockdown parties you’re holding should be avoided

Piyt this stipulates a week because I'm sure people on here know lots of interesting and (probably) useless facts.

And some of them would be fascinating.

They're far too busy arguing with themselves to worry about the rest of us.

[splott parker]

Kieffer Moore, as well as scoring from open play, takes a mean penalty.
