There has been a 100 things challenge doing the rounds on Medium, but I am with Bicho (somewhat hacked!) on this, and 100 is just too many. Here are ten instead:

  1. Cheese is always more expensive than you think
  2. Money isn’t everything, but it keeps you in touch with your children
  3. When you are in an unfamiliar car you don’t need to get out to find out which side the petrol cap is on because there is a little arrow on the instrument panel (next to the petrol icon) that tells you
  4. The dot over a lower case i is called a tittle
  5. “Slot machines” is an anagram of “Cash lost in ’em”
  6. Dogs aren’t really good judges of character — they just embody non-judgmentalism
  7. When the moon is directly overhead, you weigh slightly less
  8. An intoxicated ant always falls over on its right side
  9. It doesn’t matter which side the petrol cap is on because the hoses at the petrol station reach round to the other side of your car anyway
  10. Baby puffins are called pufflings.

I came, I wrote, I conquered. That last bit might not be true, but at least I am putting up a good fight.
