I'm somewhat amazed that this has been kept a secret from you for so long. Welcome.

LOL wtf srsly?!

What on earth did you think they were? Goat droppings? OK so some of them probably are, but really :shock:

Currants and sultanas are too btw, just different kinds of grapes.

Did you know prunes are dried plums?

I know of people who couldn't have told you that either, and I'm not even sure when I learned about it :|

I don't remember when I learned it, but I've never eaten anything without knowing what it was. I imagine I was quite small, and when given something with them in I probably screwed up my noes and said "what's that?".

I think that it is books in general but second hand books would also qualify.

that emptying the vacuum cleaner is a dangerous sport involving much crushing of toes :?

Note: I have emptied it plenty of times before but usually when I have shoes on, this time it seems to be actively trying to jump on my toes :shock:

Could it be that the shoes were dampening the magnetic effect that you toes had on the vacuum? ;)
