1) The pause function was invented by a huge Man Utd supporter and he gave the function the number 11 sign as tribute to Ryan Giggs.

2) Monkeys are terrified of balloons.

Firs Park in Falkirk (now sadly a retail park) was originally built on the site of a Roman fort where one of the ramparts was used as a terrace. A series of Roman coins were also found during the construction of the main stand.

The Battle of Fauldhouse was fought on 16th August 1624 after years of tension between lairds who ate their fried potatoes with sauce and those who ruined it with either ketchup or vinegar. Only 7 people were killed but at least 233 people were injured, one of which later died after accidentally trampling on a chip-fork and dying from gangrene infection.
