Afew years back there was a Melbourne Magistrate called Darcy Dugan and at the same time a well known crim in Sydney with the same name!

I would’ve thought Sydney was a fairly common name, then?

Sydney is another gender neutral name isn't it? But I can't bring any famous female Sydneys to mind. Cyd Charisse I suppose, but I don't know what (if anything) Cyd is short for.

If you do a search for “Sydney” in IMDB, the first 6 actors are female.

My dad still recounts the story of my telling him I was going to Sydney for a week. "Who's sydney then?". Subsequently went foe a year. We put in a new passenger information system including all the info screens, doubtless replaced a couple of times since then

I have been using Memory Map OS maps for over 20 years. I only just discovered forwards and back buttons right next to the map scale buttons, which I click pretty much every time that I use the software! I have spent 20+ years repeatedly panning maps about, changing scale, and zooming in and out, when I could have often done that over and over just by clicking forwards and back to select between the different choices...

My electricity meter only has 6 digits. Once it reaches 999999 it goes back to zero.

'Armada' is the Spanish word for navy.
