    Gill and Pete are back again with more Friday Fact Fun and this week, Gill "bites the bullet" and tells us the etymology behind some well known phrases. Pete reveals a nice fluffy legal loophole in Australia to help anyone thinking of getting a pet rabbit. In other shocking news - The Moon Landings were fake!! Well, not exactly but a small element of them may have not been all it seemed. Finally, Gill tells us of a big wooden ship which performed a maritime rescue and Pete tells of how the Titanic disaster was predicted 14 years before it took place.

    2025/04/10

    This week Gill and Pete bring more lesser known facts and stories from the Facts The Way I Like It! vault!

    Gill talks early vending machines and re-using flour sacks for clothing. Pete talks Second World War escape plans hidden within playing cards and early aeronautica.

    Finally, they discuss a grizzly story from the depths of tennis history which is definitely not a blueprint for how to get away with murder.
