As Donald Rumsfeld memorably said:
There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.

XmisterIS put it rather better upthread:
I'm sure there are things that I don't know but I should know but I don't know what they are but if I knew what they were then I'd know that I don't know them but then I'd know them so I'd know that I know so I wouldn't not know. Damn it, I'm screwed!
Especially the last bit that didn't seem to occur to Herr Rumsfeldt.

WTF? I visited a few years back and there were Network Southeast liveried CIGs, VEPs, and probably CEPS at the station. Most certainly NOT something you ever found in Scotland!!
Actually, I saw one the other day on here when someone had said in the blog bit at the side something along the lines of
'Beetroot makes your poo turn purple. I never knew that'

Eat enough of it and it turns your pee into a glorious rose colour.

I believe George V said "bugger Bognor". And he wasn't far wrong. It is not far from me, I've been there a few times and it is a hicksville sh*thole. It's all low-rise decaying 60's and 70's box-shaped buildings and yokels. Last time I was there, I stopped at the local funny-little-supermarket on the main road (which is the Bognor equivalent of a shopping mall, only it smells of damp and sawdust), it was cold and raining and there was a chap sat outside the shop on the back of a beaten up old land rover, with no shirt on and with his hair cut in a mullet. He also looked like he could well have been doubly related to various close family members ...

Well, I ate some beetrootand it did turn my poo purple but when I
ate it it just tasted like shoot and had no effect on my pee colour at all.

I learned today that Damon Hill is the son of Graham Hill, Mrs Noodley looked at me as if I was a moron for not knowing this...not for this first time I may add
Anyone else learned something 'obvious' or 'common knowledge' to everyone else but them?
That when women always talked about leaving the toilet seat up - I was actually thinking of the toilet lid and wondered wtf the problem was.
I think I was 20 when I realised!!

I did say you have to eat enough of it to affect pee colour.
I purposely ate a whole pack because I had to later give a urine sample.
You should've seen their faces when I handed the pink piss over to them.
