    Not recent - we read a 1986 study on supplemental carrying which basically said "this works" but didn't give a reason why. There was one about ten years ago which claimed it had something to do with babies feeling safer when the parent holding them is standing up - can't remember much else about it or who it was by though.

    Hmm - walking them and then cuddling them whilst sitting still for eight minutes? Maybe Japanese babies are different to Australian ones...

    He is the last person to have walked on the moon. He is probably also the only former New Mexico senator to have walked on the moon.

    Well, he is the last living person to walk on the moon. Gene Cernan was the last person to walk on the moon, about fifty years ago, but he passed away in 2017. But that’s what I was looking for, although there are several more as you point out. I think he was the first non-military person to walk on the moon, for instance.

    Over to you. <ok>

    Spooky! Are you saying that dead people walk on the moon?

    According to the rules for the FA Cup why will Watford receive lower gate receipts if they play a non-league side rather than an EFL or EPL side, even if the attendance is the same and ticket prices are the same?

    Because FA rules allow for 55:45 split of gate receipts in favour of the non-league side in such a match? I've no idea why though, unless it's just measure to ensure that poorer clubs get more much needed cash...

    That's it BB. It is a 50/50 split for EPL and EFL fixtures and between non-league sides (I assume) but 45/55 split otherwise.

    Cheers NZ.

    One to (hopefully) get the brain cells into overdrive -

    In Australia NSW, Victoria, S. Australia, W. Australia, Northern Territory and ACT each have one, but Queensland and Tasmania don't.
    What is it that the last two don't have?

    The UK has just one of these - in England - but perhaps surprisingly the US doesn't have one.

    To clarify (or confuse), whilst each of the aforementioned States has one, Australia itself doesn't have one.

    The reason the US doesn't have one is Los Angeles.
