Billy Joel never sells front row seats in order to see fans in front of him.

Instead, he gives them at random to people in the "cheap seats" so the front row isn't always just rich people.

I've learned that there are some people within the acting industry whom really show actual emotional content in actually involving themselves in charity work or wholeheartedly donating a multitude of earnings to legitimate & wise causes.

I learned that I probably have developed a new allergy. After I was given general anesthesia for my ECT treatment this morning, apparently I had a reaction to something and developed a rash across my neck and chest, so they had to give me Benadryl through my IV. My mom says they asked her if I had a latex allergy, so it's possible it could be that. I've been getting ECT for a month or so now, and this hasn't happened before, but I know that it's entirely possible for allergies to suddenly crop up at any time.

I've learned that the only way broadband internet can expand is if central government gives more money to the ISP's yeah right, when they already fleece the customers already.

In the UK, 33 percent of bread that is purchased is never eaten on average every year.

In the UK, 6 percent of alcohol that is purchased is never consumed in comparison to bread.

Here in the UK, we have a long, illustrious tradition of "minesweeping" at the end of a night down the pub; the six per-cent remaining are the abandoned drinks containing cigarette butts, soggy bar snacks, or other UFOs (Unidentified Floating Objects) - even us minesweepers have standards, you know! :lol:
