  • What have you learned this week?

    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.

            I learned that you can't square a circle and that the child is father to the man.

              Dinosaurs are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle and thin again at the far end.

                  Circular letters are usually rectangular though

                    Sorry to hear about your loss. We all need not to take people and life for granted.

                          And Elvis recorded it as well

                          Something else you’ve learned.

                              I'm glad you mentioned that. I thought it was something that I had inadvertently done.
