The video for I Want To Break Free was a parody of Coronation Street (hence the flying ducks on the wall which were also in Jack and Vera Duckworth's house).

3 lovely facts about puffins from last night's QI:

Puffins beaks and eye decorations are just for the mating season, they fall of during the winter.

Male and female puffins mate for life.

A baby puffin is called a puffling- sounded even more lovely when Stephen Fry said it in his Harry Potter voice!

Your heart must pump 343 litres of blood an hour, over 8,000 litres every day, 3 million litres in a year - that's enough to fill fill four Olympic-sized swimming pools - to keep all your bodily cells oxygenated.

Arnold Schwarzengger's penis.

I have never noticed it in the beggining of the Terminator movie, but having just watched the blu ray, its there, plain to see, swinging in the wind, not something I ever wanted to see!

There is a country in Africa, Mauritania, where slavery was only made illegal in 2007. However, even now it is illegal it is still estimated that 10-20% of the population are still slaves.

Not so much recently - but until I was about 12, I thought that double yellow lines were the cycle lane and, if a road didn't have them, you couldn't ride down it.
I spent ages planning my route to the shops, only using certain roads - thinking I was being a really good cyclist for not cheating.
