ten things I didn’t know last year
One of the coolest things about being a Planner has to be the opportunity to become semi-expert about a new subject very quickly.
Ten things I didn’t know last year:
- Aloe vera can help bolster the immune system of puppies
- If small, cream coloured maggots with brown heads have eaten the roots of your shrubs, you have a vine weevil problem
- If a pub wants to combat the effects of the smoking ban, it needs to invest in its food offering
- Any self-respecting chef will make his own mayonnaise
- You should shampoo your hair twice (remembering to massage your scalp in the process), then add conditioner (but not to your roots), followed by a splash of water to emulsify it, then leave on for as long as possible before rinsing thoroughly
- One of the key indicators of the quality of a pub in the eyes of consumers is how good its chips are
- There comes a point when most city centre flat dwelling women become deafened by their biological clocks ticking and want to buy a family-friendly proper house with stairs and a garden and everything
- Rabbits have a really complicated digestive system and need a lot of fibre in their diet
- Vodka with a well known blackcurrant cordial is a surprisingly popular tipple among underage drinkers
- Over 20% of people leave home in the morning without having had breakfast
