Post Something Interesting

The gas that comes out of your cooker (not the electric ones) is odourless. They add a smell at the works ....so you can smell it if there's a leak.

At 9.00pm GMT last night I watched my Granddaughter, who is in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada play football for her University team Acadia Uni nicknamed the Axe Women!! She scored a goal in the first five minutes but unfortunately they had some 'technical difficulties' so I didn't see it but I saw most of the rest of the game.

Technology is wonderful sometimes. She's playing again on Sunday. Same time same channel. :-)

Plus another thing (could be interesting or not) I was talking to a cousin of mine over here a couple of weeks ago about the fact that I used to play football with the lads and we got into a discussion about the fact that sometimes we called it Football and sometimes Soccer when we were kids.

This might be interesting....Manchester has a link to Halifax Nova Scotia. In 1939 during the build up to WW2, 100 volunteers from Halifax Nova Scotia enlisted in the Manchester Regiment to fight for King and Country. These brave young men are known as the Halifax Hundred, there's a commemorative plaque in Ashton-under-Lyne to remember them.
 
Absolutely true...
Irishman Anthony Clancy was born on the 7th day of the 7th month in the 7th year of that century. He was the 7th child of a 7th child and had 7 brothers.
On his 27th birthday he placed a bet on a horse called Seventh Heaven running in the 7th race on the card. The odds were 7-1 and the horse has a 7 stone handicap.
He wagered 7 shillings, but lost...the horse finished 7th.

That was interesting. I had read about them a while ago but not about the commemorative plaque. Thank you. :-)
