Things that have amused me

"A treasury of advice tips for the Edwardian nurse, including: - Unless you know your male patient very well, do not attempt to read him aloud the stock market levels from a newspaper, for it is well nigh impossible for a woman to read them so that a man will understand her."

Microsoft spell checker giving me "palsy" for "payslip".

Apparently Rules restaurant used to divide its wine list into two: Burgundy, and the former colonies. That's Australia, South Africa, North America, Bordeaux ...

ETA: Swiped from [livejournal.com profile] frandowdsofa: Welsh language Scrabble, with FF, CH and LL tiles.

[livejournal.com profile] jason_fisher has an interesting post - he has acquired some Middle Earth pasta sauces.
