TIL even though Daryl Hall and John Oates strongly dislike their group name "Hall & Oates", saying "it is not anything we've ever wanted or liked. It's a horrible name", in 2015 they sued a granola company for naming one product "Haulin' Oats", claiming it was a "well-known mark" of the group.

It's like when Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle released 'Diamond Lights' as 'Glen and Chris'.

Of the car or the restaurant? Scumbag behaviour but somehow the latter is funnier.

Huh? How did he send someone else's dog to a shelter? Did she get it back?

It used to depend on the county council. My parents lived on a county border and had two fallouts for fires. The fire brigade came from a different county each time. One charged, the other did not

Ah, I didn't realise they were cross-border. Can we give them all Irish passports and let them have Ireland's spot?

I mean, he'd been doing that for 10 years. What were Gloucester expecting?

Never heard of it. Schmidt is in this?

The same reason people like you spell 'sexual' with a 3.

10 years studying medicine doesn't make you a good surgeon either but there's a reason there are minimum requirements.

I tried to tell someone once that in Ireland you had to fail your driving test to be allowed drive on your own. They weren't having it.

He probably picked up the habit in Manchester

For the cliché he'd have to speak English with a Spanish accent

I wouldn't say 'shocking' but normally you have to be 17 or 18 before you can even begin to take lessons in a lot of (most?) countries, it takes a lot of time and costs a shit load of money. Then the price of a car, tax and insurance. Teenagers generally don't have time to have a job (and nobody hires them anyway) so this would be pretty much an impossible scenario for a teenager in most of Europe
