Interesting fact of the day

This is one of those infinite horizons briefs that seems to paralyse me. As soon as I can tell any fact, choose any topic, my mind empties. As though the millions of them I must have heard in my lifetime just all hid behind each other. But… to make myself get any sort of foothold I decided to impose a sub-category: popular culture. Even then, I had to say ‘not a Doctor Who fact, not this time. Come on, literally anything else.’ Again, the mind empties. But then… from somewhere… a telly fact so random that I’m confused as to why I’m even bothering has stepped from the shadows to say ‘choose me’. That fact is: Coronation Street was originally going to be called Florizel Steeet. Imagine people saying ‘I’ll phone you later, want to watch Florrie’

Your coments do tickle me. I like how our funny bone is called the humerus.

Same.  Being offered the opportunity of "anything goes" normally (for me) means "nothing happens"!
