    Blimey. That's 'Brian Cox was in D:Ream' levels of last to know isn't it?

    Freak Power of Turn on, Tune In, Cop Out fame was another such vehicle.

    The duck-billed platypus is venomous. Its venom is delivered by spurs on its back legs, and the venom is strong enough to kill a dog.

    Also, the duck-billed platypus glows under UV light and no one knows why.

    Also, the duck-billed platypus is an evolutionary orphan - there are no related creatures in its genus.

    Australia is a stupid place.

    I once spent an hour looking for a duck billed platypus under a bridge whilst on a day trip to the local rainforest, we were staying in Queensland, near Mackay if I recall correctly. After an hour it finally appeared after which we drove off, with a very pleased guide. Señora Mus was completely nonplussed by the event.

    That, having tried it again for the first time since childhood, I'm on the 'love' side of the Marmite debate. Memory is I didn't used to be.

    I think one’s tastes do change with time.
    I used to think I would never drink whisky or gin. And that Cadbury’s Dairy Milk was amazing chocolate.

    That’s ok. So long as you’re not convincing yourself it’s actually chocolate*, but a high sugar snack that you can’t leave in direct sunlight.

    (*winky thing)

    You've tried all the chocolate in the world, have you? Everything that the Swiss and the Belgians and the South Americans have produced? Typical Brexit-loving Little Englander.

    I used to really like Dairy Milk. Decent, readily available milk chocolate. Then Kraft took over and fucked about with it. Now it’s full of palm oil, more sugar and fuck all milk. And the cunts changed the squares to wobbly things. Load of shite now.

    May as well eat a fucking Hershey bar, which is basically solidified vomit.
