Cristiano Ronaldo still plays football - I thought he retired at least 5 years ago to a life of sitting on sun loungers all day.

90s comedy The Upper Hand, starring Joe McGann and Honor Blackman, was based on the 80s American sitcom Who's The Boss?, starring Tony Danza and some other people - so much so that the scripts were reused for the entire run of The Upper Hand, scene by scene and almost word for word.

I'm listening to it right now.

Wombats can run up to 25mph for up to 150 metres.

The woman who plays "Eileen" in the video for Come On Eileen is Siobhan Fahey's sister.
