Hello Abers one and all. Do you have any useless information you'd like to add here? Like, did you know a cockroach's brain is located inside its body, and if it loses its head it can live up to nine days?

I will come back in a few days time, I may even give a PSA: have fun one and all, and many thanks in advance.

The Romans had a word for someone who milked horses ("equimulga"). How as English managed without one?

Going back to answer 2.....again
I was actually an extra in Chariots of fire, My claim to fame, and I was working as a Pharmacy Technician at the time, and made up prescriptions for the cast when they were ill during filming.

Scholarly reads can be quite tedious at times FP: I might try and add equimulga somewhere in my third novel set in Hadrian's Roman Britain. So a useless pice of info becomes very useful indeed. Thanks.
Kwai means 'river' so the River Kwai translates as 'River River'
Nyasa means 'lake' ergo 'Lake Lake'

I was told there were three words with those letters. Believe I know the third.

You mean you didn't get a final credit, Sparkles? You must get a better agent! I saw a film recently where the man responsible for the onsite location toilets was given a credit in the final roll, so you should definitely have had one. Dammit, you spared actors from over-using the toilets. Where is the justice in that?

Very funny shoota :))
Would you add locomoshion to that one?!
"Pharmacutical supplier to the cast," might give the wrong impression.
