Ahhh, this is brilliant! I didn't know any of these facts - thank you very much! I spent so much time of my life adding unnecessary facts to my brain that I can tell you that the tall man in the picture is not the lovely Jason Orange (he's the one far left actually) but the astonishing Howard Donald, who - to add even a little more of useless information - lives in Germany part time. Wonder if he's able to recognise different "pine fresheners" with his nose so high up in the air??
