Christmas crackers aren't really a thing in America. You can get them, but yer average Americanx wouldn't be familiar with them.

That reminds me, at Christmas dinner at Fanmumanddad Three's I got in my cracker a keyring with a high quality plastic diamond hanging off it.

And yet I haven't seen it since Dec 25. I must have left it behind bawl

We all know about personalised number plates, but I didn't realise that there are also personalised postcodes for "high profile organisations".

For example:

British Telecom's address is DH98 1BT

The Sun newspaper is E98 1SN shifty

TSB Bank is BX4 7SB dontpanic
Egg Banking confused 2 is DE99 3GG bananaspin

I'd forgotten about GIR 0AA, which is particularly egregious because it has 3 letters in the first bit instead of 2.

That reminds me of Radio 2's text number - 88291 - "88 to 91" being Radio 2's old wavelength/bandwidth thingy and one of their slogans.

I know a fair bit about music, I'm also the son of a former music teacher, but I've only just this minute found out that "celli" is the plural of cello. gasp
