CURRY

A yummy curry last night courtesy of the ever-generous Harrises!

So let's hear some facts about curry!



Oh, and great violining, Hols!

This week's winner...

...Is birthday boy Adam Sweeney, with this unique fact:

"Though we can't possibly imagine a life without Mr. Adam Sweeney, the famous name was almost not so. Mr and Mrs Sweeney were certain that their second-born would be female; and had decided she would be named "Emily". I was having none of it, and stubbornly emerged a chap. Faced with this conundrum, Mr and Mrs Sweeney swiftly thought-showered boys’ names, settling on “Richard” or “Alex”. Richard, my Dad pointed out, is often shortened to “Dick”. So, I was to be an Alex – until a recently-born cousin gazumped me. In haste, they picked Adam. The rest is (lush) history."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I was going to be called Sean....

ADAM

Because it's Mr Sweeney's birthday, and I have failed to publicly acknowledge his recent factoid triumphs, the theme for this week's Friday Factoid is ADAM. Which also happens to be the name of my legendary dad.

EVACUATION

There could only ever be one factoid theme this week. EVACUATION.


Flexible deadline for this one folks, since most of you won't get to see this for a little while.
