Minor league baseball isn't played by children.

My school was free so I don't think they had head boys, although they might've had some title like that in 6th Form.

My school was free too. It was a fairly meaningless title. I think they gave me it hoping to inspire me to be a great student and live up to my potential.

It didn't work.

And neither is Junior league football in Scotland.

I read 'em and enjoyed them, thanks.

Another one from round your end, but references in American media to cotton in bottles of pills are quite literal, and they stuff the jars with cotton wadding.

Do they?! Mad bastards

Come to think of it, didn't pill bottles in the UK used to have a big bit of foam padding in the top, presumably for the same purpose (which I guess would be stopping the pills rattling around)?

that's what sanatogen children's vitamins had anyway

A birthday suit is so called because it's what you were wearing on your birth day, i.e. nothing. You were naked.

I just never made the link. Stupid bastard.

It took me ages to realise this too.

And yet they don't call a baby's first set of gnashers their birthday teeth. But I do, and I call being naked wearing a milk suit.

[olliebean]

"Milk teeth," because they're used to gnaw milk out of the mother's dugs.

Phil Mitchell looks like modern Mick Hucknall. or Vice Versa

Milk suit because you're gnawing at the dugs and only milk is coming out and you're like "where's the suit, woman?"

OFAH : Del is a fucking idiot, and Rodney looks like a horse.

Compound interest is...the only kind of interest? If you're earning money on money, why would you not add the money earned from the interest on the money to the original pot of money?

Presumably because you wanted to use it for something else.  Many investments with a stable return (i.e., interest) offer a choice between capital growth (i.e., compound interest) or a regular income.

Violent Femmes are men.

But weren't when the first album was written.

Dubai sounds like "do buy".

Which is quite fitting.

Johnny Hates Jazz and Living In A Box are two different late 80s/early 90s soft pop three pieces that sound really similar.

[touchingcloth]

Was it an 80s thing to have bands named after their songs and vice versa, or was it just Living in a Box and Talk Talk?

They're the same thing, aren't they? Take what you need out of the capital growth for spending and leave the rest growing the pot in the first case, or spend what you need from the regular income and add anything unspent back to the pot in the second case.

At some point in the not too distant past, clicking the three dot menu icon in Chrome would display the additional extension icons if there were too many for them all to fit on the main screen in the browser.

A little while back it stopped doing that, so a few times I have faffed about disabling and enabling extensions to get them to display in the order that I wanted. I've just realised that the little jigsaw icon does the job of displaying all of the extra extensions - what a piece of shit UX decision, since when has a jigsaw piece signified "click here for more"?

Also Oh Well.

From the 90s, there were Ghosts and, erm, Doop.

Edit: Ghosts were 2000s...

John Reid was played by a Game Of Thrones actor in both the shit 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and the smashing 'Rocketman'.
