In a few year I will be a quiz champion with all the useless information I have learnt from repeatedly entering the daily comps!

I now know that 1 in 4 eat breakfast at their desks; someone in a good day to die hard (am I the only one who thinks this sounds like a pornographic movie:eek:) has a son named jack; and the best one, a banana is not a citrus fruit :rotfl:

Sadly, I think these pointless bits of information will stay with me forever!

Just wondering what pointless information everyone else has retained?

    If I didn't know previously that this year Mothers Day would fall on 10th March, then I blooming well do now!! I must have entered at least a dozen standard comps with that as the answer, plus God knows how many dailies too - it's engraved on my brain!! ;)

    I know that a Princes Tuna salad contains less than 280 calories :eek:

    Of all the things in the world, I think I know that thing more than any other thing. It'll be etched on my brain 'til the day I die: Princes Tuna Salad has less than 280 calories.

    The one that really gets me going is that "Kärcher estimate 75% of households outsource their window cleaning". Really? Where do these people live? and can I move there?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    This made me laugh too.

    If only 25% of people clean their own windows, of the other 75%, half of them probably never get their windows cleaned at all, because they cannot afford @ £10 a week for clean windows.

    the 1 in 4 brits eating breakfast at their desk really annoys me as I doubt if 1 in 4 have desks to eat at ( I in 4 office workers maybe)

    and bran comes from the groat
