    1. How come in books and films when the people are told to, "circle round and cut them off at the North entrance" etc, they know which way is North, even if they aren't familiar with the city?

    2. Why the **** do women always want to share food with you, why can't they just get their own?

    3. Whatever happened to BennyBlancoFromTheBrox?

    But I'm guessing she's done this more than once?

    Fool me once, shame on you. Yadda yadda yadda

    That's not an expression I've ever heard; it's usually 'head them off at the pass'. In any case, the sun rises in the East, sets in the West and is due South at midday. You can estimate true North reasonably accurately knowing the time of day and noting the sun's position. It's a bit more difficult if the sun isn't visible , but moss tends to grow on the North side of trees, buildings etc. because that side's in the shade all day.

    I can't help with your other 2 questions.

    In that case, you're a fool for not watching the film or reading the book during the day.

    1) I've never heard it in a film or read it in a book so can't really help.
    2) Because it annoys us
    3) He's Fernando Ricksen's carer so has no time to get on here.
