Mark Albrighton Posted February 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2021 The equals sign was first used by Robert Recorde, a mathematician from Tenby in 1557. The first usage is shown in the lower tweet. No idea what he was trying to work out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted March 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2021 Something that apparently got a bit of notice a few years ago, but I missed it - Chuck Lorre, creator of tv shows Two and a half men, The Big Bang theory, co wrote the theme tune to teenage mutant ninja turtles.

The life of a male lion (assuming no hunters) has to be the best in the animal kingdom. Basically shagging and lying around doing nothing. The women do all the childcare, go hunting and bring you a steak every now and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 8, 2021 Happy to find out on Thatcher death day - Happy Thatcher death day btw - that, contrary to the popular myth, she didn't in fact help to develop soft serve ice cream. The process of adding air to ice cream. It was already out a decade before she worked at J Lyons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been right up her street though - ripping off the punters by adulterating the product with fresh air, so as to sell less actual ice cream for the same price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness I'd say that's the dream of every product manufacturer if you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
