- If your album tracks play in the wrong order on your iPod (but in the correct one in iTunes) and no amount of syncing will fix it, it most likely is because the 'Disc Number' info is not the same for all tracks.
- You can put a knocked out tooth back in. Don't clean it or touch it, keep it in the mouth or in a cup of milk and run to the dentist or hospital.
- Claret is a purely English, mostly British term that indicates wine from the Bordeaux region. Although the word comes from the French 'clairet', pronouncing the word as if it was French is a type of overcorrection.
- The maximum number of friends you can have in Facebook is 5000. Not a good thing if you use Facebook in other, more sophisticated ways than a simple social network tool.
- Dr B. used to sing in the school choir. We went into the village church yesterday (I wanted to have a look), chatted at length to the vicar and ended up being bullied by a devout woman into going to midnight mass ("I'll be looking out for you two guys!").
- Tony Blair had been planning to convert to Catholicism for a long time. I don't approve, but it's none of my business any longer, and finally I admire his impartiality during his office on issues like abortion and gay rights.
- I weigh exactly the same at home and on Dr B.'s parents' bathroom scales. I tested them both yesterday three hours apart, so that this year we will not fool ourselves into thinking they are broken. That post-Christmas extra half stone is entirely made of mince(meat) pies.
