Hi guys. My first post onto your wonderful sight. Got me test in a couple of weeks time and my silver K2 SV650S with Zorstec can is waiting for me to pick it up straight afterwards!!

As for the penguins-falling-backwards-by-watching-planes, it is indeed completely FALSE.

Did you know the Army's berets are made by Kangol and their shirts by Ben Sherman. Now there's a useful bit of info for you all!!!!

Erm...u...e...u...i....hmmm, why does the number 4 spring to mind?

Euouae has six consecutive vowels and, yes, it is a real word.
Correct spelling of queueing.

Ultrarevolutionaries is a word in which each of the five main vowels occurs twice.

Eunoia, six letters long, is the shortest word in the English language that contains all five main vowels.

Caesious, eight letters long, is the shortest word in the English language that contains all five main vowels in alphabetical order.

Fanta was originally invented by Max Keith in Germany in 1940 when World War II made it difficult to get the Coca-Cola syrup to Nazi Germany. Fanta was originally made from byproducts of cheese and jam production. The name comes from the German word for imagination (Fantasie or Phantasie), because the inventors thought that imagination was needed to taste oranges from the strange mix.


Can of cheese anyone?
