Can Oxford's skaters actually do any tricks? No documented evidence exists to suggest that any of these layabouts have ever completed a 'trick'. The weight of massively baggy clothes and the radiation levels of the sandstone outside the New Bodleian renders the skaters completely wobbly.
Why are raspberry flavour Mr Freezes blue? In 1973, after an accident in a food colouring factory in Stockton-on-Tees, a 451million-litre surplus of blue colour was created. Cheap ice lollies and sanitary towel commercials are the only way to get rid of it. What exactly was Howard's Way? Steffan Howard was a structural engineer and occasional pastry chef who discovered that the perfect way to make filo pastry was to role it flat using the cantilever weights inside Tower Bridge. Not to be confused with Howard's End.
What is the difference between a scarf and a pashmina? A scarf is insignificant, a pashmina is for life. They must be fed and watered frequently, and taken for regular exercise.
