Northampton is further south than Southampton. 

The Northampton Southampton Supporters Club has more members than the Southampton Northampton Supporters Club but that has not always been true.

Sting always wanted to be a copper but couldn't pass the test and often worked as a security guard and a referee in Sunday recreation leagues. When they got together and brainstormed for a name for the group he said he would leave the band if they didn't call themselves The Police.

However, the Easthampton Southampton Supporters Club recently merged with the Westhampton Northampton Supporters Club to become the Easthampton Westhampton Northampton Southampton Supporters Club.

The Hampton Southampton Supporters Club got in a big fight with all the other Southampton Supporters Clubs (north, south, east,west) and call them splitters.

In the late 19th century the 5-a-side League formed by the gardeners of Hyde Park, Regent's Park and  Kensington Gardens was so popular that they decided to amalgamate and applied to join the FA. In deference to their boss they called themselves Queen's Park Rangers. The rest is history.

A Harvard study found that in the United States, 27.6% of packets of crisps are opened upside down, compared to just 8.6% in the UK. The reasons for this discrepancy are still as yet unknown. 

This looks similar to a case study by Yale University.  Seems like a waste of time to me.  The simple answer is that the crisps taste better when you do this.

Nonetheless the practice has been made illegal in Wyoming,  South Dakota and Oregon with a maximum of 5 years imprisonment and hard labour for repeat offenders.

Bit harsh.  IMO.

Elon Musk and James Dyson have just invented (in the past 10 minutes) a new crisp packet which is circular to prevent this happening. All crisp companies in the US and Europe (except Luxembourg) are legally obliged to use circular crisp packets as of today at noon.

The pies at Firs Park were so full of grease they used to have a wee drain valve attached. You could drain them into a 45 gallon drum at the side of the pie shed. When it was full the 'Shire would sell it to the Railway Preservation Society behind the stand. They used it to grease old train couplings.

Met up with them last week and, I have to say, what a great bunch of lads.
