Last week, after 47 years of faithful service, my false tooth came out whilst eating a peanut Star Bar and in 2001 I was asked by security to leave Elvis Presley's house.

That's 2 things, the op only asked for one. No one likes a show off

I had to get it off my chest, it's a great weight off my shoulders.

cms to inches? Double, double, divide by 10. Reverse for ins to cms (ie halve, halve, x 10
Accurate enough for a quick approximate conversion - approx 96%

eg 30cms to inches - Double=60, Double=120, then ÷10= 12.0ins
eg 18ins to cms - Halve =9, Halve =4.5, then *10= 45 cms

Brilliant, struggled to get a rule of thumb for that all my life.

The word 'road ' is derived from the word ' ride '

A Melbourne couple just bought an old house close to the Gabba in Brisbane for $2.4 million without actually viewing it.
The owners bought it in 1990 for $140k
I can't imagine paying that for a house I'd never seen.
It's happening here quite a lot.

I trust that these incidents are related.

People used to dig out clay from the side of a road, this is back in the day, think Roman roads. They used to make clay vessels from the clay; hence the term potholes.

The term eavesdropping derives from when there were older, presumably wooden building there was a gap gap under the eaves for airflow and people could "eavesdrop" on conversations held within.

Tottenham Hotspur's inconsistency is where the phrase 'spur of the moment' originates.

The world's largest steam locomotive zipped thru town today, the Big Boy 4014. It looked like something alien.
