I learnt that watching footy on TV is less annoying when you mute the commentators, which is what I did halfway through the third quarter until the end of the game.

A Hungry Jacks double whopper, while very tasty, is not designed to be eaten with one hand while driving at 115kmh.

However, I also learned,with a little contorting of the hand, it's possible to hold the burger and the box, separately, in one hand so you can eat it without bits dropping all over you.

No worries, I reckon I’ve eaten more meals driving than sitting at the dining room table

I learned I didn't know as much about Crocs as I thought. Only got 6/10 on this ABC quiz. https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/202 ... y/12430502

So beat me without searching answers.

I learnt that this year's Melbourne International Film Festival, which is going to be screened online, has a pretty shabby line up. They're advertising the premier of the Polish film Corpus Christi. I bought the DVD about three months ago. :?
