After watching an episode of Boss Baby with DD on Netflix, I’ve just googled what is the difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel.

A xylophone has wooden bars and a glockenspiel has metal bars.

I just googled Pastina- it was on another thread about nice food to give your sickly children. It’s an Italian chicken broth with tiny pasta shapes (stars in the article I googled).

I just googled in one go ‘game tribe double rainbow dinosaur’ in order to try and find a game the kids remember playing - it came up trumps with pocketgod.

Farewell to Stromness piano.

DH has heard some random slow classical piano piece on Classic FM, didn't know what it was called, and was humming it, so we were trying to figure out what it could be.

It wasn't that.

How many calories in 100g of Chicken

We’re trying to eat more veggie and cooked tofu for the first time this evening, so was comparing calories.

“Why is chicken pox called chicken pox”.

Few theories- one being that the pox look like marks from a chicken pecking.

A xylophone has wooden bars and a glockenspiel has metal bars.

I always thought t was vice versa! Now I'm going to have to Google it...

What is £50 in 1970 worth in 2020?

(£50 was the fine imposed on a person for dangerous driving. He caused an accident that killed one person and left another with serious injuries. Of course it was before decimalisation but even so it seems quite a small fine, it's equivalent to about £675 today if my googling was correct.)

DisplayPurposesOnly · 28/01/2020 20:22

A xylophone has wooden bars and a glockenspiel has metal bars.

Definitely the other way round Wink

MorrisZapp · 28/01/2020 20:22

I googled whether Tom Mangold was actually shagging the Profumo case prostitute, as he seemed to suggest in the documentary he presented.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 28/01/2020 20:23

Oh ignore me - I read it the wrong way round! Doh!
