So, as the title suggests, can you help enlighten our little minds about anything you know that you think most people posting here don't?

It can be anything, quirky facts you picked up from travelling, previous jobs, hobbies, etc etc

I will post some later, right now I'm going to bed

Yes, I really do have little to be at with my spare time Smile

okay, here are some things I have learned over the past few years:

- The sand in the sahara is finer than any other I have ever seen
-My masters degree is not helping me find any jobs
- cutting the neck of turkeys (dead) is easier to do with an air pressured cutter when the blades are sharp
- said necks are used to make turkey mince
- bookmakers (which a legal in u.k and Ireland) keep a detailed file on the regular high spending customers
- Northern Ireland may be cheap to live in but it's no where near as nice to live in as the republic
- Rastas in the caribbean love trying to sell you drugs, even if there is a cop watching
- The french seem to love upsetting Irish people by beating us in sports
- I was so bored throughout the summer that I watched cricket


will think of more later!!

Sorry, I already knew that.

I know more than most people about classical music.
Does anyone want to learn anything about classical music?
Not that that would help you find jobs either.

Unless you're only referring to music from 1750 to 1810 or so you've already betrayed your knowledge. Or you're just talking down to the masses assuming we don't know about the Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic and the mish-mash of periods that are the twentieth century.

I know how to program in Csound.
