did you know: That Canberra is the capital of Australia not Sydney and its a beautiful place to come! 50 minutes by plane from Sydney, 4hrs by car, 4hrs by train easy reach from Sydney! I am sory for promoting Canberra but its where I live and not many people know about it

did you know that nine times out of ten when a statement begins with 'did you know' it's wrong

...I'ts eight times out of ten actually...

And 67.4% of statistics are made up!

i think you'll find it's closer to 90%

Hey Raven, do you think Bert SmartyPants is a plagiarist and camouflaging with a bit of photoshop?

LukeORourke, even if all the other lovely wiki members passed you by, I think Canberra sounds a lovely place. It's much further away than 4 hrs for us, as you well know but maybe you could send us some pics, to show us how beautiful it is. That would save us all rushing down to view.

Norman Thelwell was born on 3 May 1923 in Tranmere, Birkenhead, Cheshire, the son of a machinist. He was educated at Rock Ferry High School, Birkenhead, and always carried a pencil and a sketchbook, recalling later that "it was simply natural for me": "No one ever mentioned art, and I didn't feel I had any particular ability." Thelwell sold his first drawings - of chickens - at the age of fifteen, and left school a year later to become a junior clerk in a Liverpool office...........cont on link
