21 leagues and 25 cups.
That there is still room for the long ball in football. Trailing 0-4 from the first leg in the Division One play offs, Sheffield Wednesday decided that the time for the tippy tappy stuff at the back was over and they launched every 2nd ball down the line and chased and harried and literally put Peterborough in the words of their former manager "under pressure" and it worked. Result 5-1 and through on penalties.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
A few flew over the cuckoo's nest.
You can buy a Swiss knife in duty free in Zurich airport! Hmmmm. Surely they will post them on to the buyer?

TIL that "perk of the job" derives from the word "perquisite".

One country outside of Ireland offers students the Irish Leaving Certificate. Libya.
Fascinating, múinteoir.
Only one school outside Ireland offers the Leaving Certificate exam to their students. Since 1997, students at the ISM international school in Tripoli, Libya, take the Leaving Cert, with Arabic being substituted for Irish and Libyan history for Irish history.
Yesterday I learned that the bar stoolers can be right once in a while: we had a pre-match discussion and agreed that we should play a back 4 against Gibraltar but knew Kenny wouldn't change but he eventually did after 45 minutes. Perhaps he had a microphone fitted in O'Donogues.

The Scorpions “Wind of Change” / CIA conspiracy theory
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind...corpions_song)
The song is the subject of the Pineapple Street Studios podcast Wind of Change, released 11 May 2020, which raises questions regarding the song's origin.[13][14][15] Patrick Radden Keefe, the New Yorker author and host of the podcast investigates the allegation that the song was written by or connected to the Central Intelligence Agency, citing a rumor originating allegedly from inside the agency. In a Sirius XM interview with Eddie Trunk on 13 May 2020, Meine stated "It's a fascinating idea, and it's an entertaining idea, but it's not true at all".[16][17] In December 2020, it was reported that a further investigation of the song's origins based on the claims from the podcast will be adapted into a series for Hulu directed by Alex Karpovsky.[18]
The christmas movie Die Hard was adapted from a 1979 book by Roderick Thorp.
The book was a sequel to his 1966 novel The Detective, which was made into a 1968 movie called The Detective.
So when making Die Hard they were contractually obliged to give first refusal of the lead role to the original actor, the 73 year old Frank Sinatra.

Then of course none of the big names wanted to take the role as they didn't didn't want to do Rambo, just blow **** up stuff. Willis wanted it, to do more than tv, but was unable to commit because of Moonlighting then Cybil Shepherd got pregnant.
